Theme: Modern folklore/criminal investigation suspense/supernatural stories
Core conflict: the collision between traditional Taoism and modern criminal investigation; the protagonist's inner conflict between "escaping the world to seek wealth" and "entering the world to eliminate demons".
Protagonist profile:
Chen Qingxuan (male protagonist): The last generation of Taoist priests in Yunling Village. He seems to be lazy and slippery, but in fact he values love and righteousness. He is good at finding dragons' acupoints and using talismans to catch ghosts, but he is extremely reluctant to return to the village and suffer poverty.
Lin Wei (female protagonist): Deputy captain of the criminal investigation detachment, a top student who returned from overseas, is rational first, suffers from severe insomnia and auditory hallucinations, and is the "container" of some ancient curse.
World view: Under the bright appearance of modern society, there are "new evil spirits" fermented by desire. Cases are often disguised as accidents or suicides, but are actually modern variations of ancient witchcraft.
