When a materialist graduate student strays into the mysterious Miao territory, science is her armor, but it is also the prison of her cognition.
Lin Wanxing, a graduate student in folklore who firmly believes in science, followed his tutor into an isolated Miao village to complete his thesis. In the mountains filled with thick fog, teammates were mysteriously poisoned, and the mentor left a warning in blood before his tragic death. All clues pointed to her - and the butterfly birthmark she was born with on her wrist.
Here, she met Mo Chen, the Gu guardian who wore silver rings in his ears and was as cold as the moon. He told her that her bloodline was not a gift, but a sacrifice to the awakening of the "King of Ten Thousand Gus".
And the gentle archeology professor Lu Mingxuan, who had saved her from danger many times, always had a body temperature as cold as a corpse.
Insects eat her body, resentful spirits seek her life, and millennium conspiracy wraps around her like a spider web. On a night when the boundary between science and metaphysics completely collapsed, Lin Wanxing was forced to make a choice: become the sacrifice destined to be sacrificed in the prophecy, or control the power of the taboo and completely tear this established destiny into pieces?
This is a story about how she grew from a prey to a hunter.
