Lin Fan is a mentally ill patient who loses control of his body intermittently. Sometimes he suddenly freezes while walking. Sometimes he wakes up in the middle of the night and finds himself strangling his neck. He has no friends, no job, and lives on subsistence allowances.
This world has been invaded by alien gods for many years. They go around looking for people to sign contracts, giving them power in exchange for a price—memories, emotions, lifespan, they dare to ask for anything. Lin Fan was not qualified to sign the contract. Who would want a loser who couldn't even control himself?
Until one night he had a dream. A ball of ashes said that he was a sleeping god named Ember. It couldn't sign a contract, it could only lend him its power - burning. Soul, body, memory, destiny, everything you own can be burned. The harder it is burned, the greater the power. Lin Fan laughed after hearing this. This body doesn't listen to him in the first place, but burning it will make things easier. Besides, that's how his parents died. Two Night Patrol soldiers burned themselves clean from the inside out in exchange for his life.
Later he met three people: Shen Che, Su Wan, and Chen Du. Everyone has their own debts, no one dislikes anyone. The four people formed a team that no one expected, and walked all the way to the battlefield where the gods descended.
Lin Fan watched as his teammates fell one by one, and finally burned himself into ashes. Jhin was waiting for him in the ashes.
A mental patient burns himself to save a world that no one believes in. Ridiculous, but he has always been out of control in his life. Since the body doesn't listen to him, then burn it for everyone to see.
