In the Xuanhe era of the Great Song, spiritual energy awakens, and ghosts and spirits appear in the mortal world. Xiao Yueli comes from a family of incense makers and is a master of the art. She can use incense to summon souls, break illusions, drive away evil, and gather spirits.
After offending the heavens by crafting the “Guide to Rebirth,” she swaps souls with Yun Xuzi, a down-on-his-luck Daoist priest, and awakens the ability known as the “Way of the Heart’s Incense.”
Burning incense opens the eye of the Dao in her heart, allowing her to see baleful energy, discern dragon veins, read people’s hearts, and break formations. But each use sets her heart aflame.
The head of the Arcane Order covets her art and repeatedly lays deadly traps for her. Demons wreak havoc through feng shui, leaving the people trapped in the underworld.
With a censer of heart incense in hand, she proceeds with caution, transforming from a sheltered young lady into a master of yin and yang. She crushes countless evil spirits and defies fate to prove her path to immortality.
