A modern inheritor of shadow puppetry, an intangible cultural heritage, transmigrates into the apocalyptic final days of the Great Yan dynasty, where demons run rampant. He becomes the young master of a struggling shadow-puppet troupe and uses the ancestral Hundred Demon Chest to slay demons, strip their hides, and craft puppets for the stage. Put on a show, and borrow a demon's supernatural power. He must keep the troupe fed, perform tales of every ghost, and uncover the mystery of the faceless white shadow left behind by the troupe's first master. Until he discovers that the demon calamity itself is a grand performance, and the master's final act is waiting for him to take the stage.
