I Became a Night Watchman During My Junior-Year Internship

Cheng Muze, a third-year college intern, unexpectedly joins the secret Night Patrol Division and takes charge of Chenchen, a Qingfeng mongoose sword spirit. He walks the city’s dark streets, hunting the evil spirits that plague the world. When the calamity of a hundred ghosts roaming at night descends upon Qingtian Mountain, Chenchen burns up its spirit body to protect its master and dies a heroic death. The young man grows up overnight, carrying his unfulfilled resolve as he walks alone through the world.

To resolve a thousand-year-old obsession he happens upon by chance, he reforges the legendary Longquan Sword, putting an end to the age-old regret of Deng Yue, a swordsman from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and Longquan, the swordsmith. Grateful for his compassion, the red-haired ghost Deng Yue willingly becomes a sword and follows him. His slaughtering sword intent sweeps away ten thousand ghosts.

The battle of the Sacred Spirits begins, powerful enemies encircle the nation from beyond its borders, and his mentor and teammates fall in succession. In this desperate hour, Cheng Muze takes up his two sword spirits, shatters illusion, and sweeps across the globe, ascending to the realm of the Saints. Using the power of a Sacred Spirit, he makes one final wish, reversing life and death and bringing everyone back to life. With sword in hand, he guards China’s long night, protecting the lights in every home so they may shine in peace year after year.
