Synopsis

After accidentally entering a century-old forbidden site in the back mountains, Jiang Ningyue unexpectedly inherits a fated duty and becomes the village’s only soul guardian.

A deep, secluded prison cave suppresses countless wrongfully dead spirits. Ancient village rules conceal secrets unknown to outsiders, while turmoil erupts along the boundary between Yin and Yang, and one eerie calamity follows another.

Generations of cave guardians have borne endless suffering, and a century of tangled grudges seems impossible to resolve. Old divisions fade as the villagers support one another and stay by each other’s side. A century-old lonely spirit accompanies her, and together they brave one long ordeal after another.

She quells the surging baleful energy and soothes the trapped souls, while searching for buried history and breaking free from stale constraints.

With her mortal body, she guards the realms of Yin and Yang. With a sincere heart, she untangles a century-old deadlock. From then on, she protects the village’s peace, guides lonely spirits through reincarnation, and carves out a unique, heaven-defying path as a soul guardian!
