Bizarre murders occurred one after another in Yong'an City. The deceased died in strange ways, with a rusty bronze ghost talisman on their bodies. The arrogant female detective Shen Qingci was ordered to investigate the case, but he found the "weak and pitiful" scholar Su Wan beside the ancient coffin. Su Wan seems innocent, but he always "happens" to show up when her investigation reaches a deadlock and hand over key clues.
As the investigation deepens, Shen Qingci discovers that Su Wu is not an ordinary person. Bronze ghost talismans, secrets about ancient coffins, and missing old friends emerge one after another. However, the ancestral compass she carries frequently loses control, pointing at Su Wu. At the same time, it also attracts the darkening revenge ghosts and competitors who covet the ghost talismans.
In the Shura field, Shen Qingci said "Don't touch me, I don't believe in ghosts", but couldn't help but protect Su Wan when he pretended to be weak. Little did he know that this "innocent" ghost husband had already placed her under his control, and all the clues in the murder case pointed to a conspiracy that spanned a hundred years and was closely connected with her and Su Wan's past lives.
