   The protagonist's family lineage is extraordinary. His grandfather is a master of feng shui, wielding the feng shui wheel; his grandmother is a witty fox spirit who protects the family with her magic; his maternal grandmother is a sinister ghost mother, deeply versed in the ways of the underworld. His father died at the age of seven but was brought back by his grandfather's magic, and he and a dragon girl gave birth to the protagonist. The protagonist is a hybrid of immortal and ghost, causing even the Ghost King to tremble in fear at his sight, and the underworld officials, seeing him vanish without a trace, act decisively, drawing their swords against him!
