In a modern city illuminated by science and rationality, the ancient bloodline of witches and ghosts has not been cut off, but is lurking in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity to awaken.
Liu Mingche, a medical student, originally thought he was an unwanted orphan, but at the age of eighteen he received an admission notice from "Heilian Dal". There, the magnificent epic of China's five thousand years of shamanic civilization unfolded before his eyes: from Nuwa's earth-holding and Wu Xian's trance, to Dunhuang charms and Miao poison... He witnessed the backside of reason, the profound world intertwined with empathy, imitation, resistance and witchcraft.
However, this journey to trace our origins is not a gift. Stepping out of the secret realm, Liu Mingche discovered that reality was being eroded by invisible undercurrents. Urban ghost stories come true, the shadow of ancient evil magic floats, and he and the students around him have inexplicably become the focus of attention from all the hidden forces. A sealed "Blue-Red Covenant" quietly revived from the bloodline - it was the ancient power of the two poles that separated order and chaos, protection and change, originating from the early days of Wu Jinyuan.
On one side is the inheritance of the "green" who tries to re-establish order with witchcraft, but may stifle vitality; on the other side is the awakening of the "red" who pursues absolute power and subversion, and does not hesitate to cause chaos. Liu Mingche was forced to get involved in this secret war that spanned ancient and modern times. He must rely on the vast wisdom of witch history he has just glimpsed to identify allies and enemies in the jungle of modern cities, guard the lights of civilization, and find his own third way to balance "green" and "red".
When the ancient drums sounded again under the modern night sky, the wizard's inheritance was awakened.
