Modern office worker and amateur paranormal enthusiast Lin Xiaoxin wakes up to find herself in ragged ancient clothes, and nearly crashes through the roof of a funeral home!
With a stern uncle whose furrowed brow could crush a fly, a timid foodie of a senior brother, and a slick, smart-mouthed second senior brother, Lin Xiaoxin's life after she transmigrates starts at hellish difficulty: coffins on one side, paper figures on the other, and daily chores that involve burning incense for unknown creatures.
Uncle Jiu, whose brows meet in a single line and whose Taoist skills are profound but whose pockets are empty, says, “A woman practicing Taoism? What kind of nonsense is that?” Yet he softens and takes her in.
And so Lin Xiaoxin begins her chaotic daily training under Uncle Jiu:
Senior Brother Wencai: “Little junior sister! Come take a look. Does this talisman I drew look like a burnt pancake?”
Second Senior Brother Qiusheng: “Don't listen to him, Junior Sister! Come help me test whether these freshly picked willow branches hurt ghosts!”
Master Uncle Jiu: “...You two good-for-nothings! And you too, Lin Xiaoxin! I told you to scatter glutinous rice to subdue the corpse, not sprinkle scallions to make fried rice!”
Then there's the overconfident security captain Awei, who is always trying to make his presence felt: “Uncle Jiu! With me on the team, there's nothing to fear from demons or ghosts! ...Wait! What's that?! Protect me!”
And the beautiful, kind-hearted Tingting, the eldest daughter of the Ren family, becomes her only close friend in this unfamiliar era: “Xiaoxin, does your funeral home... need anyone to clean it? I'm actually a little curious...”
But beneath the seemingly carefree daily life, a blood coffin is on the move, and the shadow of a corpse immortal's return is creeping closer.
Lin Xiaoxin must truly master those mysterious talismans and footwork, and grip the peachwood sword in her hand...
