**Core Conflict Build**:
- **Villain Agent**: In his previous life, Prince Li Chengqian secretly planned to seize the heir, and framed the case of the haunted house on the head of the Criminal Department Lu Mingyuan (Protagonist 1) who was in charge of the case, causing his entire family to be executed. After his rebirth, Lu Mingyuan discovered that behind the haunted house was a huge conspiracy by the prince and the Minister of Household Affairs (villain 1) to use the "ghost house" to seize private land at a low price and embezzle money from the treasury. The prince's power has become the biggest obstacle to Lu Mingyuan's revenge and reversal of the case.
- **Deadly Secret**: After Lu Mingyuan was reborn, he discovered that he could see and communicate with ghosts. The long-haired female ghost "Axiu" who chased him for her life in the haunted house was a civilian girl who was silenced by the prince's men. Her resentful ghost lingered and was the key witness (ghost witness) to bring down the prince. Once this ability is exposed, he will be slandered as a monster, attracting an encirclement and suppression by the entire imperial court and Qin Tianjian.
- **Dilemma**: Lu Mingyuan forms an alliance with the fallen emperor Li Xuan (Protagonist 2) whom he met after his rebirth. Li Xuan carries a blood feud, and his goal is to overthrow the prince, but his radical methods may cause turmoil in the court and hurt innocent people. Lu Mingyuan must repeatedly weigh between using Li Xuan's power to take revenge quickly, and adhering to the bottom line of the law to avoid the destruction of life.
**Character Dilemma Design**:
- **Strength/Emotional Dilemma**: Lu Mingyuan was a civil servant in his previous life and had no strength. Facing the assassins under the prince and the tricks of the court, his strength was a fatal shortcoming. At the same time, he feels deep guilt for his family members who died because of his involvement in his previous life. This emotion may affect his judgment and make him be too aggressive or soft-hearted in revenge.
