Cheng Ning was a wild child picked up by her Taoist master. All she wanted was to lie flat, but her master dragged her into the jianghu to hunt ghosts. When she first entered the supernatural world, she was terrified and inexperienced. Faced with a red-clad female ghost who had hanged herself, the ghost-catching tools she flung out in a panic were completely useless. As she gained experience, Cheng Ning gradually adapted, but hostile factions coveted the supernatural resources and kept sabotaging her efforts to obtain resources and grow stronger. Once, a ghost set its sights on Cheng Ning and tried to abduct her for a ghost marriage. The male ghost was powerful, and her master was badly injured saving her. If she couldn't grow stronger and kill the ghosts quickly, her master would die of his injuries, and Cheng Ning would lose her only family. While fighting all kinds of ghosts, zombies, and spirits, Cheng Ning mistakenly trusted the kindness of ghosts in disguise, putting her master in danger. A wavering ally betrayed the protagonist for personal gain, leaving her unable to trust anyone. But Cheng Ning persevered and kept growing stronger with the help of the System. Although defeating ghosts protected the human world, her master's injuries filled her with anguish. With time running out as ghostly activity grew ever more rampant, Cheng Ning strove to break through her limits, stop the ghosts from wreaking havoc, and protect the human world.
