Fang Yuan, an intern makeup artist at a funeral home, was targeted by a spy during a vigil for an unknown corpse, and for the first time he saw the "death thread" that only a few people could see.
The deceased's obsession has not gone away, but his name is engraved on the red string copper coins - if he does not finish the matter for Gui within three days, he will die.
From that night on, Fang Yuan was dragged into the world of the night watchman.
Zhen Yesi, Bai Shi Guild, the ruins of the Yin Walkers, the Twelve Coffin Masters...
Things that originally existed only in the old man's mouth emerged from the darkness one by one.
Every ghost has an obsession, and every dead line is linked to cause and effect.
Fang Yuan used trickery to quell trickery, exchanging lives for lives, and every time he pushed the line of death, he was also using his own memory, lifespan, and humanity to fill it.
He didn't know how far he could go, he only knew that he had to try to leave as much of something human as possible before he completely turned into a villain.
