Intern director Lin Qingyin stayed up late scrolling through Douyin, and accidentally came across a limited-time tutorial on how to subdue demons. She thought it was a prank, but a red-clothed ghost really appeared outside the window.
Risking his life to start a live broadcast and using talismans to catch monsters, he gained 130,000 followers overnight.
Unexpectedly, the "soul-taking mark" was left on her palm, and a regular demon-subduing organization came to her door to destroy her ability. She refused, and followed the clues to discover that the city's safe barrier was actually maintained by the resentful souls of living people.
When millions of netizens watched her live broadcast, she chose to overturn the table.
