Qingfeng Village is hidden deep in the Kunlun River, surrounded by mountains, isolated from the world, and is a corner forgotten by the outside world. There is no hustle and bustle of the city here, but it is full of lingering shadows - the bones are exposed in the mass graves behind the village, and the resentment lingers; outside the village, the ancient trees in the Black Wind Forest are towering and have not seen the sun all year round, hiding the legend of "drills eating souls"; the black dragon pool at the head of the village is bottomless, and the souls of the drowned people cry out every night; even in front of the memorial tablets in the clan ancestral hall, lingering evil spirits linger.
The protagonist Lin Feng was born in this strange land. On the day he was born, there was blood rain, lightning and thunder, the century-old locust tree at the entrance of the village withered overnight, all the poultry and livestock in the village died suddenly, the midwife died on the spot, he was born with a terrible evil, and his destiny was declared by a top fortune teller to be "heavenly" "Evil Star" requires eighteen tribulations of life and death in a lifetime. The tribulations can take lives, ranging from a broken body to broken veins, to a severe case of the soul being scattered. The evil energy will come back to bite the loved ones and kill those around them. It is the "evil star" that everyone in Qingfeng Village avoids.
Since childhood, Lin Feng has been scorned and ostracized by the villagers. Children threw stones and insults, and adults shunned him like snakes and scorpions. His father went hunting in the mountains and disappeared mysteriously. His mother could not bear the rumors and the pain of losing her husband, so she threw herself into the Black Dragon Pond and committed suicide. Only his elderly grandfather Lin Zhengxiong, regardless of the opposition of the whole village, protected him with his life and tried his best to raise him up. As Lin Feng's eighteenth birthday approaches, the evil spirit in his body becomes more and more restless, and the eighteenth calamity predicted by the fortune teller has finally begun.
Every calamity is closely connected with the secrets of Qingfeng Village that have been buried for thousands of years, the sins left by ancestors, and the lurking evil spirits: missing villagers, tragically killed livestock, strange cries echoing in the night,
