Born at the hour of the Ox on the Ghost Festival, Wang Xiaochen was fated to bring a "flood of peach blossoms" and could see both the realms of yin and yang from birth. As a child, he was haunted by the shadow of a ghost in white. As a teenager, his "yin-yang eyes" made him an outcast among his classmates. Only after meeting Old Zhang, a man who knew his way around the supernatural, was he able to grow up in relative peace with a peachwood safety pendant.
He thought getting into Qingnan University would let him start a new life, but instead he stumbled into an even greater whirlpool. The school's abandoned teaching building turned out to be a gathering place for the "Five Ghosts Carrying Wealth" formation and the Southeast Asian sorcery of "mercury-skinned imps." Senior Fang Ya was bewitched into setting herself on fire. Her boyfriend, Li Ming, mysteriously drowned after being beaten, and all her roommates went missing. To cover up the truth, the university not only threatened students into silence with their diplomas, but also absurdly agreed to the family members' demand for a "ghost marriage," while secretly intending to use its yin energy to nourish the evil spirits.
At this critical moment, his childhood friend Zhang Yanghuan appeared out of nowhere. A successor of the Lushan Sect, he carried a jar containing one hundred thousand soldiers and wielded ingenious techniques. He could subdue vengeful ghosts with the Five Plague Soldiers and divine with a compass to uncover the truth. The two joined forces, dodging the school's surveillance as they investigated the origins of the mercury-skinned imps and the secrets beneath the teaching building's foundations. They also had to stop the ghost-marriage ritual from causing a catastrophe.
When the neon lights of the city meet sinister sorcery, and ordinary college life becomes embroiled in a conflict between yin and yang, can Wang Xiaochen and Wang Yihe uncover the conspiracy behind the string of deaths, break free from the shackles of fate, and help the wrongfully dead find their way to the afterlife? A modern urban adventure of demon hunting, woven with family, friendship, and Taoist arts, begins here.
