Shui Luoli, eighteenth-generation inheritor of the Dao lineage, possessed peerless beauty and powers that could shake the heavens.
By day, she was the aloof, mysterious feng shui master at Zitan Court. By night, she was a livestreaming occult powerhouse whose predictions never missed, summoning spirits and hunting ghosts.
She wielded supreme magical artifacts and was decisive and ruthless. Yet she had two fatal weaknesses: a fear of soft-bodied bugs, and a ten-thousand-year-old curse. She must never shed a single tear for the man she loved, or Heaven's wrath would strike at once, scattering her soul into oblivion!
To stay alive, she sealed her heart and pushed away Yun Yichen, the handsome, aloof, taciturn young policeman who had unsettled her heart through their days together at Zitan Court.
Then came a deadly showdown with an evil spirit steeped in overwhelming yin energy. The materialist young policeman was gravely wounded while saving an innocent person, and hovered on the brink of death.
When he miraculously opened his eyes again in the morgue...
His gaze was deep, and his imperial might shook the heavens!
The one who had awakened in that body was none other than the Ghost Emperor who had ruled the Underworld ten thousand years ago, now missing a century of memories!
The National Paranormal Investigation Bureau was established, and Shui Luoli became its specially appointed chief instructor.
Everyone online knew Instructor Shui as cold and merciless, untouched by evil.
But no one knew that when a flood of mutated, soft-bodied evil creatures surged toward them, Shui Luoli was so terrified her face went pale and her fingertips trembled. The "Officer Yun" standing at the very back of the team, seemingly utterly ordinary, wrapped one arm around her slender waist and pressed his other hand fiercely toward empty space.
In an instant, Netherworld flames burned every evil creature within ten miles to ash!
The Ghost Emperor held her tightly in his arms, his eyes filled with an obsession that had endured ten thousand years and a devotion as profound as a god's:
"Close your eyes. I'll burn away everything you fear, and bear everything you carry with you."
