Ten years after the spiritual qi revival, spiritual power is power. Xie Dan, once a down-and-out heiress, and her “pretty-boy” live-in son-in-law, Gu Chen, have become Spirit Ruins hunters who risk their lives at the edge of a blade.
Everyone laughs at her for bringing along dead weight, until a Republican-era theater collapses and golden markings appear in Gu Chen's eyes. He murmurs, “This Spirit Ruin answers to me.”
When a cyberpunk CBD twists into an abyss and the deep sea whispers of Cthulhu's madness, the wealthy families monopolizing resources and the Spirit Management Bureau finally realize: the man they trampled underfoot is the world's only hope in the apocalypse.
And as the ten-year red moon draws near, the shadow of colonization by the otherworldly spirit realm falls across the globe. Xie Dan grips her purification blade and points it at the ultimate villain. “My darling husband can control the whole field, and I kill gods.”
