In the Dakang Dynasty, supernatural beings revived and demons danced wildly. Zheng Mingzhe, who was originally just a modern social animal, accidentally transmigrated into the body of a run-down scholar with the same name. He also had a deceptive "vest system" in his mind - as long as he pretended to be a different identity and deceived people, he could gain the ability to exorcise evil spirits and suppress ghosts.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he traveled through time, he would offend Zhao Wujiu, a traitor to the sect and a senior fellow who practices sorcery. This guy pretends to be loyal and honest on the surface, but in fact he wants to seize Zheng Mingzhe's "divine fate". Zheng Mingzhe was forced to be involved in one supernatural incident after another, from ghost houses in deserted villages to thousand-year-old tombs, from weird painted skins to demonic dreams.
Relying on the knowledge reserve and poisonous thinking of modern people, Zheng Mingzhe started a crazy road of acting: pretending to be a hidden master today, a demon hunter tomorrow, and a ghost envoy the day after tomorrow. Every time he reveals a shocking inside story and every time he slaps a villain in the face, he gets closer to the truth. However, there seems to be a bigger black hand behind Zhao Wujiu, and that weird system is far more complicated than he imagined...
