Shen Ji was born with paralysis and died young. Everyone said that he would not live to be thirty years old. After his grandfather died, he learned from a "Corpse Exorcist Diary" that his "disease" was not a disease at all, but a curse planted by his grandfather himself in order to realize his ambition to ascend. In order to survive, and to find out about his mother's death in a well, his father's disappearance, and his ruined life, he activated the forbidden technique "Return to Soul" and plunged his consciousness into the "Skull Temple", a terrifying maze composed of countless skulls and living people's minds. There, yang energy is oil and brainpower is lamp. The smarter you are, the easier it is to be seen through. The more precise the calculation, the more tailor-made death will be brought about.
In the nine-story ancestral prison, Shen Yan has to face not just evil ghosts, but a living maze that can forge family ties, tamper with memories, and copy personalities. In the real world, he also has to fight simultaneously with underground hospital projects, technological capital, white-collar chains, and evil organizations. As the truth was peeled back layer by layer, he finally saw his grandfather's plan spanning hundreds of years, and also saw the evidence that his mother was still protecting him after her death. In the end, Shen Ji no longer predicts destiny for anyone. He uses his broken body to reverse the destiny chart, blows up the ancestral skull temple, and tears apart the arranged life. From a prison that grows in the skull, he figures out the only way to survive for himself and for countless people who are swallowed up.
Looking forward to it,
