Chen Yuan, a little-known demon hunter, was born in troubled times and grew up between temples and markets. He is not a hero in the traditional sense, but a lone traveler who was expelled from the lintel by an ancient family and possessed a forbidden art. Chen Yuan's ultimate mission is not to simply slay demons, but to trace the origin of demons and uncover the darkness deep in people's hearts. He traveled around the ruins and piles of old papers, sorted out the remaining historical materials, and tried to write the history of the entanglement between demons and human nature with the pen of a historian. While tracing the blood ritual of a lost dynasty, he formed an alliance with the cursed princess and faced the ultimate test of the intertwining of human desires and demonic nature. Chen Yuan's motive is not for glory, but to atone for his own sins, trying to find a glimmer of light between truth and redemption. The novel uses a historical biography style, blending reality and fiction, showing how Chen Yuan reshapes the meaning of the demon hunter in the cracks between fate and faith, rationality and madness, and finally turns the battle between humans and demons into a long historical song for future generations to ponder.
