On this magical continent teeming with ghosts, the fallen noble Mo Yuan seems like a gentle young man in need of salvation, but he is really a black lotus corrupted by the evil god "Shadow of the Void." With the mind of a master psychologist, he can turn anyone into a pawn and toy with them in the palm of his hand.
Lin Qingyin, the Starshine Saintess, arrives with a System mission, believing him to be a white moonlight waiting to be purified. She has no idea that her powers are quietly nourishing the fragments of the evil god within him. The demon-hunting elder Baili Xuan wields the Ruler of Order and pursues Mo Yuan time and again, but Mo Yuan always makes a clever escape by exploiting mistaken identities. And Su Jiu'er, a nine-tailed fox demon from another world, sees through the strange rules hidden behind this tale of salvation amid a wilderness of corpses and bloodshed.
As a rift in space tears open the sky and the Shadow of the Void prepares to devour the world, Mo Yuan smiles as he makes his move. Who, in this game of comeback, will be the one holding the pieces to the very end?
