At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the immortal world was isolated and spiritual energy was exhausted. Huo Nian, a young socialist reformer, was assassinated and assassinated because he offended the powerful by promoting the New Deal. However, his soul did not dissipate. Instead, in a strange thunderstorm, he exchanged souls with a boy of the same name, Huo Nian, who was tortured to death by his vicious stepfather.
This Huo Nian was a bullied orphan in Qingshi Town. His stepfather, Butcher Li, looked simple and honest, but was actually ruthless. He not only occupied the meager property left by Huo Nian's parents, but also often punched and kicked him. What's even more strange is that Huo Nian found that he could vaguely sense the cold aura emanating from Butcher Li's body. That aura was exactly the same as the aura from some powerful people he had come into contact with in his previous life.
With the wisdom and tenacity of a reformer, Huo Nian is determined to survive in this strange world and uncover the true face of Butcher Li. He used what he had learned in his previous life, starting from improving his life and accumulating contacts, and gradually emerged in Qingshi Town. However, he soon discovered that behind Butcher Li, there seemed to be a larger force involved. This force was actually related to the immortal cultivators in this world, and might even be one of the masterminds behind the depletion of spiritual energy and the isolation of immortals. Huo Nian not only has to fight against his evil stepfather, but also sets off an unprecedented reform storm in this fairy world full of fog and crisis, fighting for the sake of the world and his own rebirth.
