[Mystery, Comedy, Female Lead] Li Mobai was born in 1974.
He is descended from Li Wenxue, a hero of the uprising, and carries an unyielding sense of justice in his blood.
But his mother is the daughter of Li Mingxue, the traitor who betrayed his ancestor and caused his death.
Two families bound by a blood feud fall in love against all odds.
To stay together, his parents break with their families and flee far away.
When Li Mobai is six, they willingly enter the forbidden region of Hoh Xil,
volunteering to become the guardians of Ghost Mountain.
They leave, never to return.
Legend says no one has ever walked out of Ghost Mountain alive.
Hidden in its depths is a century-old scheme devised by Li Mingxue:
In his pursuit of immortality, he created a sinister virus.
Anyone who ventures near Ghost Mountain turns into a walking corpse.
At midnight, they crawl out, their flesh falling away, driven only to devour people and spread the curse.
Li Mobai's maternal grandfather, Dong Cheng, could not bear to see his people offer the living as sacrifices.
He rose up to quell the unrest, only to uncover a shocking truth:
It was all part of Li Mingxue's plot to become a Corpse King and rule the mortal world.
From then on, the Dong family guarded the mountain for generations.
They ate rotting corpses, lived on Ghost Mountain, and reeked of death,
giving their lives to seal away this living hell.
Li Mobai only wants a peaceful life,
but the truth about his parents' disappearance, Ghost Mountain's terrifying curse, and his grandfather's dying wish
all weigh on his shoulders.
To find his parents and stop the corpse plague,
he resolutely enters that deathtrap, a place from which no one returns
