Xie Wujiu was once a soul-searching anchor with millions of fans. During a live broadcast, a strange black mist caused him to fall from the spotlight into the gap between yin and yang, becoming a living dead "stuck in the middle". In the dry well, he met Ah Xiao, who was barefoot and with golden eyes. The other party threatened him with his soul gone, and asked him to find out the seven murder cases in the mountain village within three days and light the soul lamp with the truth, otherwise he would be completely annihilated.
From the mute girl whose tongue was cut out on the locust tree, to the salesman who stuffed the river with copper coins; from the suspicious cloud of silver hairpins under the incense burner in the ancestral hall, to the magic of refining live babies in the darkroom of the bank, Xie Wujiu explores step by step at the edge of the realm of yin and yang. In the process, he discovered that he was actually the resurrected prince of the previous dynasty, and the memory of his burnt body was constantly reviving. After his brother Xiao Che usurped the throne, he was trying to use his soul to reshape the dragon's veins. The mysterious author Lu Jiuxi, the remnant soul of his loyal reader Lin Shu, and the obsession of twelve children who were sacrificed alive are all involved in this mystery that spans life and death.
Ah Xiao's lies were uncovered layer by layer. She was not trying to save her own life, but was using her childish obsession to light the soul lamp that illuminated the truth. Xie Wujiu also transformed from the initial struggle for survival to an avenger who bears all the grievances. In the end, he held the judge's pen in his hand and used his own soul as lamp oil to resonate in the worlds of Yin and Yang, allowing the tampered history to be revealed again. All sacrifices and perseverance were turned into lights that would never go out. On both sides of the River Styx and in the fireworks of the world, he told the justice and memory behind the word "no blame".
