A century-old secret lies hidden in a remote mountain mansion, and an antique rosewood comb summons restless spirits at midnight.
Ordinary teenager Chen Yu unexpectedly inherits an old house in a remote mountain village. From the day he steps inside, the sound of combing circles overhead each night, sinister shadows haunt the ancient lanes, and one eerie incident after another unfolds: sea-born grudges along the coast, frozen demons in the snowy mountains, and strange schemes in an old town.
A secret dragon vein linking mountains and rivers across the land, a decade-long plot to nurture evil spirits, and two masterminds with boundless ambition throw the mortal world into chaos, spreading dark forces, supernatural disturbances, and panic among the people.
He has no innate talent for metaphysics, yet with a sharp mind and a cool head, he unravels the mysteries step by step.
At his side are a young woman from the Taoist sect who fights alongside him and a close friend who stays by his side. Someone seeking redemption for half a lifetime also quietly has his back and protects him from the shadows.
From an old country mansion to a viral haunted town, from a coastal fishing village to snowbound peaks, from an underground factory breeding dark forces in the city to a sacred mountain guarding a dragon vein on the frontier.
The group journeys through perilous places, braves illusion arrays, and smashes deadly plots. They expose the black market’s trade in evil artifacts, purge traitors and parasites from the supernatural world, and unite righteous cultivators to fight the army of evil cultivators.
The cycle of fate begins at the old mansion; the calamity that threatens the mortal world ends with the hearts of its people.
When the dragon vein collapses, the barrier shatters, and evil spirits emerge, they face the calamity threatening both worlds with mortal bodies and protect the peace of the land with their original convictions. At the summit of the final battle between good and evil, they settle a century of grudges and preserve the simple comforts of everyday life.

The plot is extremely scary when you think about it. The whole process is high-energy and has no peeing. Supernatural lovers can just close their eyes and rush!
