Su Mian is haunted by a soul-stealing hairpin that devours her spirit night after night. She seeks only to reclaim the childhood memories erased from her. Lu Wujiao, trapped in a crippled body, forges the dead into a sword and closes in on her step by step, all to open the gates to the Soul Realm.

But who is the true sacrifice?
