During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, under the prosperous times, there was an undercurrent of evildoers. Xiao Zheng, a modern detective, travels through Chang'an and follows a bad guy from a low-level society. At the beginning, he encounters a conspiracy involving a top brothel's painted-skinned demon who sucks up the rich and powerful. With the help of the "Demon Illustration" awakened in his mind, he uncovered the truth about the "Red Skull", only to find that all the dead had exhausted their energy and seemed to have been harmed by the same monster.
The monsters are running around to commit crimes, specifically targeting wealthy and romantic families, but the court is trying to cover up the situation. Xiao Zheng found another way, peeled off the cocoons from the market rumors, and targeted Pingkangfang as the main hunting ground. In order to find the real culprit, he pretended to be a high-roller, broke into this maze of desire alone, and started a fatal battle between wisdom and desire with the painted-skinned demon who was good at transformation and charming.
And this demon was actually an undead immortal who fell into the mortal world after the Heavenly Palace was broken five hundred years ago... In the glorious Tang Dynasty night, the prelude to the Demon Suppression Division was opened by him alone.
