[Sweet-on-the-surface, sinister ghost 1 x unlucky heir to a cultivation sect 0]
Lin Yan returns to his hometown for his grandfather’s funeral, only to encounter a water ghost by the river at night, searching for a substitute. He nearly gets dragged underwater and drowned.
The river water is bone-chillingly cold in summer. Just as his life hangs by a thread, a slender, bony hand suddenly clamps around his wrist and drags him forcefully out of the water.
The first time Lin Yan meets Shen Fenglan, the young man claims to be a distant relative and is always affectionately clinging to him and calling him “big brother.”
Meanwhile, strange things keep happening after Lin Yan returns to his hometown. First, he repeatedly gets trapped in bizarre dreams from the perspective of a “ghost hunter.” Then countless ghosts begin frightening and pursuing him. Fortunately, Shen Fenglan stays by his side throughout. Together, they face life and death and overcome one crisis after another.
After returning to the city, Lin Yan suddenly discovers that his friends have started suffering from nightmares.
It is not until a nighttime gathering that he accidentally catches sight of a reflection in the glass. The face he has been with day and night is exactly the same as the Ghost King who was subdued and killed in his dreams.
Who was the one who saved him? And was the one who stayed by his side all this time human, or…?
