Dayong has a law: if you hear the third drumbeat at night, you are not allowed to look back.
Three years ago, 30,000 people in the empty city disappeared overnight, and the night lights all over the city fell upside down. Shen Huaichuan, the head of the lamp in charge of the night department, confessed his crime, and the whole Shen family was convicted. Shen Zhaowei was decapitated and lived in Sui'an County to guard the lamp.
Three years later, the five members of the Chen family in Sui'an County disappeared without a trace, and the same black line as the empty city case emerged from the lamp oil.
Shen Zhaowei followed Deng's investigation and rescued Xie Guihan, the eldest son of Zhenbei Palace, but formed a life-or-death bond with him. One has a ruined lamp skeleton, the other has half a black lamp hidden in his body; one refuses to look back, and the other has already been written as a "container" by the royal capital.
They searched from Sui'an to Wudeng River, and from the sinful tribe's lamp car to the old stalls of the royal capital, only to discover that the twelve-hour long day in the royal capital illuminated not peace, but the lives passed on one by one by the borderlands, sinners, and nameless people.
This time, they won't turn the lights on for anyone.
No one is allowed to remain nameless.
