At the Hukou Ferry of the Yellow River, the Chen family has inherited the mission of "ferrying people" from generation to generation - to ferry resentful souls, abide by the rules, and protect mountains and rivers. Sixteen-year-old Chen Yan took over his grandfather's mahogany sword and soul-calming sail, and adhered to the ancestral motto of "Three No Crossings". However, he encountered strange events one after another, such as bloody river lanterns leading the way, ancient coffin nails locking souls, and the cries of innocent souls under the ice.
The appearance of cultural relic researcher Su Qing revealed the mystery of his grandfather's disappearance thirty years ago, and also involved Chen Yan in a curse that spanned a century. From the carrion vines in the Blackwater River to the souls of the war drums of the Warring States Period, from the Revenge of the Water Monkey to the Phantom Ship, there are too many unresolved grievances and unresolved secrets hidden in the depths of the Yellow River.
They sailed ancient boats through the mist-filled rivers, used cinnabar to break evil spirits, used essence and blood to calm souls, and stuck to their true feelings at the border where humans and ghosts intertwined. Every time you cross the soul, you are fighting against obsession; every time you break the situation, you are protecting the tranquility of the Yellow River. When the thousand-year-old He Bo's resentment awakens, this adventure about inheritance, justice and redemption will eventually face the final test - what the soul transfers is never the soul, but the obsession and kindness deep in the human heart.
The Yellow River continues to surge, and the mission of the soul-carrying people will never end.
