Mo Ran is thirty-three and still a virgin, yet he is often haunted by a tragic romance in his dreams. In them, two lovers dressed in ancient robes meet a terrible end: one dies consumed by grief, while the other is overcome with sorrow.
Mo Ran thinks a vengeful spirit from a thousand years ago has come to ask him for help. Fortunately, he has the sacred calling of a fated wage slave to protect him.
Yet at the office and during company events, he is repeatedly attacked for no apparent reason. His assailants wield ancient weapons and shout the name “Bai Ming,” trying to take Mo Ran’s life.
At a critical moment, Yin Ziyuan, who has quietly watched over Mo Ran all along, comes to his rescue.
One brief glance is all it takes for Mo Ran to fall for Yin Ziyuan. But the person Yin Ziyuan has waited a thousand years for is someone named Bai Ming.
