The Five Immortals Protect Their Young

At eighteen, Li Dajun witnesses a strange scene at his grandfather's funeral. The five great household immortals, fox, yellow weasel, white weasel, willow, and gray rat, said to protect their respective regions, gather together and announce that they will take his grandfather's place and continue safeguarding him. His grandfather had lived a mysterious life. He had no wife or children and lived alone in an old house at the foot of the mountain. The five stone shrines that had stood in the courtyard for years and the cellar he never allowed anyone near concealed secrets unknown to all. The five immortals' appearance makes the cause of his grandfather's death even more mysterious, while the instruction to “go to the cellar alone three days from now” draws Li Dajun into a terrifying scheme spanning the worlds of humans and immortals.

The moment he steps into the cellar, sealed diaries, strange totems, and ancient objects radiating malice gradually reveal the history between his grandfather and the five immortals. It turns out his grandfather was the “Seal Keeper” chosen by the five immortals, and his death is closely tied to a century-old plot to resurrect an evil spirit. The five immortals are fiercely protective of their own, but they also have hidden agendas. Behind their protection of Li Dajun lies a bargain involving promises and betrayal, survival and destruction.

From a strange cave behind the village to an abandoned ancient temple, from long-buried family secrets to a century-spanning feud, Li Dajun edges closer to the truth under the five immortals' protection and manipulation. But as his investigation deepens, he discovers that he has long been a target of the evil spirits, and the five immortals' protection comes at a price. With humans and immortals on separate paths, trust is fragile and terrifying encounters keep coming. Can Li Dajun survive the sinister fog, uncover the true cause of his grandfather's death, inherit the Seal Keeper's duty, and protect the peace of the human world?
