    What would happen if a Chinese Taoist priest ruled a vampire family? 🤔 Not mindless exorcism and demon-slaying! Lin Xuan arrives at a vampire castle, but instead of killing the vampires, he opens a tranquil retreat. He uses Taoist talismans and herbal remedies to dispel the bloodlust curse etched into the vampires' bloodlines. Within the castle, the elders harbor their own agendas, the Vatican launches a holy war, and the demon army presses in. He wields both Taoist magic and business acumen, using Eastern strategies to stir up the entire European underworld. The vampire patriarch, with silver hair and red eyes, is obsessed with Chinese palace dramas; his daughter is a dark web queen, managing billions in capital, with a temper hotter than gunpowder; a former demon hunter who once hunted vampires becomes a comrade-in-arms. The truth behind the massacre of his sect is revealed, and the shackles of heaven hang overhead. Bearing the emotions of all beings, his physical body shatters, transforming into a tree for five hundred years to await reunion. Even if the universe tries to erase all memories, through countless reincarnations, his love will never fade. "Vampire Clan Head, Please, Taoist Master, Come Out of the Mountain!"
