During the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, Xu Dong, a sick accountant, coughed up blood and stained his account book red. The doctor declared that he would not live to be thirty. Who would have thought that underneath this mutilated body, there was a monstrous ambition to annex underground banks! Accidentally triggering the mysterious "Ghost Suppression Illustrated Book", the totem in the palm of his hand awakens. Using the blood in his heart as a guide, he breaks into mass graves at night, tears apart ghouls with his own hands, and contracts with the ancient mythical beast Baize. He predicts good and bad luck but has to sacrifice his life.
From the skeleton puppets in Xuanqing Temple to the water monsters and Taotie in Caobang dungeon, Xu Dong was on the verge of life and death, testing things wildly. Faced with the pressing pressure of the mysterious organization "Xuan Scale Guard" and the strange whispers of the mastermind behind the scenes, he chose to sacrifice his greed and devour the power of the mythical beast.
"Since destiny has left me with only a trace of my body, I will burn out all the monsters in this world and re-cast the throne!" This is a path of changing one's destiny by exchanging yang life for strength and using one's mortal body to control divine beasts. When the sick man opened his eyes, the sky in Jiangnan had changed.
