Shen Mo, a history student, penetrated into "Records of Weird Stories of the Tang Dynasty" and became a literary official in Dali Temple. He originally wanted to live a life of survival, but the strange jade piece on his chest always gets hot at the scene of the murder - it can empathize with the last fear of the deceased.
Mysterious crimes occur frequently in Chang'an: the paper man cries at night and oozes "tears of blood", Hu Shang dies suddenly and mysteriously, nursery rhymes threaten his life... There are rumors of monsters and ghosts causing trouble all over the city. Shen Mo, however, used modern knowledge to see through it at a glance: there was no ghost at all, it was clearly a ghost in the human heart, using the name of ghosts and gods to commit crimes!
He originally wanted to investigate the case, but the jade film forced him to "see" too much - the despair of the deceased, the obsession of the murderer, and the intricate conspiracies in this prosperous age. Su Wuming asked him to strictly abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty, but Lu Lingfeng laughed at his womanly kindness.
Until the Netherworld Division surfaced, the mysterious envoy who had also traveled through time extended an invitation to him: "Use thunder to cleanse this filthy world. Are you willing to go with me?"
Shen Mo held the jade piece tightly and faced the cold face that was similar to his own.
What he wants to save is not only the specific people in front of him, but also himself who still believes that "the glimmer of dust also has meaning" in the darkness.
