[National Destiny Binding + Folk-Customs Lessons + Livestream Comments + Team Spirit]
Zhao Shanhe, a gifted folklore student at Jinghua University, is dragged into the Abyss System and forced to begin a global livestream to raise 500,000 yuan for his foster mother's surgery.
While everyone else screams and runs for their lives in the instances, he adjusts his glasses, explains the folk taboos, and casually uses the rules to guide vengeful spirits into the afterlife.
In the beginner instance, a ghost bride comes to claim his life. He calms everyone down with, “I'm your groom.” In a remote mountain funeral home, trapped in a paper-figure killing formation, he fights back against an E-rank vengeful spirit with his book, Secret Manual of Folk Paper Effigies.
While streamers from other countries slaughter one another for rewards, he helps a century-old vengeful spirit find her father, uncover the truth, and let go of her obsession.
The Dragon Kingdom's national destiny has been declining for years, and natural disasters are frequent. But after he successfully guides Lin Xiu'e into the afterlife, the Dragon Kingdom's national destiny rises by 0.8%, and the rainstorm warning for Xiang is lifted.
Officials come to see him. “Comrade Zhao Shanhe, you are the anchor of our Dragon Kingdom's national destiny.”
Su Xiaoxiao, a sharp-tongued but soft-hearted streamer of heavenly mysteries; the timid yet honorable Old Ghost; Lin Zhao, tough and efficient... A group chosen by fate uses rules and obsessions to protect the last glimmer of light in the human world, amid funeral homes beneath a blood moon and ancestral halls in desolate villages.
Livestream comments: “Teacher Shanhe, take us to guide the next one into the afterlife!”
