In an imaginary dynasty where ghosts and ghosts are prevalent, two Dali Temple officials with very different personalities - Wei Zhao, a former bad commander who is well versed in the world, and Yan Guixu, who is a scholar of academic folklore research, are forced to join forces to investigate a series of bizarre murders that are described as "bizarre" by the people.
They travel between layers of folklore and ghost stories and people's deceptions, taking "talks about ghosts and ghosts as a cover-up" as their creed, peeling off the terrifying shell of each "rules and ghost story" to reveal the hidden truth behind the crime, which is intertwined with greed, hatred and lust for power.
As the unit cases are solved one by one, a huge conspiracy organization "Shadow Pavilion" that exploits people's fear and attempts to subvert the imperial power gradually emerges.
Intention: Positive and uplifting
