Chen Mo, a modern props master obsessed with horror movies, accidentally traveled to the fictional ancient Dasheng Dynasty where ghosts were rampant, and became a prisoner on death row waiting to be executed. He desperately discovered that the weirdness of this world followed deadly rules.
In a desperate situation, the capital he relies on for survival is actually the knowledge of countless horror movies in his head. The magic method of "Mr. Zombie" can deal with jumping zombies, and the logic of "Midnight Ring" can break the curse. He has no magic power, but he can rely on his understanding and reconstruction of "rules" to fight against extraordinary evil spirits with ordinary wisdom.
From a charlatan, he gradually became a "sophist" who walked on the edge of yin and yang, dealing with the cold-faced female head catcher, the old-fashioned Taoist priest and the mysterious detective, solving a series of bizarre cases. However, as the conspiracy between the "Shadow Pavilion" organization and the extraterrestrial evil god "Shadow of Chaos" emerged, Chen Mo fell into a desperate situation of trust crisis and knowledge limit.
In the end, he chose to move from destruction to establishment, creating a "sophistry" and gathering his colleagues. When the ultimate darkness comes, he will use the fireworks of the world as a spear and the rules of all things as a shield to defend a bright world for this mortal world.
