[Synopsis]
Shi Jiangyue is a down-and-out man who spends his days carrying a wine gourd and a heavy black case on his back. He travels through this chaotic age with two children:
The cool, reserved Lu Xiaoyu, a soul-binding nail embedded in his forehead and demon lightning sealed within him; and Gu Qingling, an orphan who wants to grow stronger so she can protect others. Together, the three of them adventure, grow stronger, and search for the truth.
