In the Age of Dharma End, spiritual energy is exhausted and evil spirits are rampant. The Night Watchman family has been responsible for rescuing souls for generations, but now there is only one left - Shen Guiji.
He was born with an aversion to winning, and could swallow resentment and transform evil spirits, but he was regarded as a walking coffin by the living. Funeral parlors, live broadcasts of ghost houses in the Republic of China, embroidered shoes in ancient wells, women in red on the last subway train... Behind every strange incident, there is a soul trapped by obsession.
Shen Guiji holds the soul-binding rope in his hand, and his chest is engraved with runes left by the souls of the dead. He fulfills the wishes of the dead and sends the resentful souls back into reincarnation. However, he gradually discovered that all the grievances of the evil ghosts pointed to the same source - a gate to hell that should not exist, waiting for him to fill it with his life.
