Synopsis
Shen Jin, the 20th generation descendant of the Xuanmen Shen family, is the only remaining ghost hunter in the family. In order to abide by the ancestral precepts, she disguised herself as a man and hid in the market. Her pair of yin and yang eyes explored the boundaries between yin and yang, and her peach wood sword cut away the evil spirits in the world. Underneath his cold appearance, there is still kindness hidden. He carries the family mission alone and walks on the edge where humans and ghosts are intertwined - the resentment in the abandoned theater, the evil spirits possessing the forbidden areas of the campus, and the evil spirits cultivating deep in the old house. Behind every mystery is the game between obsession and people's hearts. When the lively girl Lin Xiao accidentally breaks into her world, this lonely journey to eliminate evil spirits finally has the warmth of side by side, and the deeper darkness and the mystery of her life experience are quietly approaching. Intent: Intent 1: Lonely perseverance and goodwill redemption As the last descendant of a ghost-hunting family, Shen Jin wears men's clothing to hide her identity and walks alone on the border between humans and ghosts. Underneath her cold appearance, she is determined to adhere to the mission of "eliminating evil spirits and bringing peace to the good". Faced with the loneliness and obsession of the innocent ghosts in the theater and the malicious intentions of the evil spirits on campus, she always made good-faith choices - not to kill the resentful ghosts indiscriminately, but to try her best to save the dead souls, which not only protects the peace of the world, but also provides salvation to aliens. This goodwill that persists in loneliness breaks the stereotype of "catching ghosts means killing them all", highlights the core of "tenderness between good and evil", and shows the belief that even in darkness, a faint light can still illuminate the world of yin and yang. Idea 2: Identity shackles and self-identity The setting of a woman disguising herself as a man is Chen Jin's shackles and also her armor. In order to inherit the ancestral teachings, she suppressed her female identity and isolated herself from the outside world with a cold disguise. However, she faced the crisis of identity exposure and the struggle of self-recognition in the process of eliminating evil spirits. From deliberately avoiding gender traits to gradually accepting her true self, she broke the family shackles of "her heirs must be male" and proved that ability has nothing to do with gender. The intention is to focus on "breaking labels and accepting oneself", exploring the balance between the individual's traditional constraints and self-worth, and conveying the concept that "true inheritance lies in adhering to the mission, rather than adhering to the form". Idea three: The game between good and evil and insights into human hearts Most of the evil spirits in the world stem from the obsession of the human heart - the resentment of Kunjiao in the theater comes from emotional betrayal, the evil spirits in the old house come from the obsession for revenge, and the evil spirits in the school arise from the dark psychology. Shen Jin's process of catching ghosts is also a process of interpreting people's hearts: she not only uses peach wood swords and spells to destroy evil spirits, but also analyzes the human entanglements behind them with insight into the essence. It aims to dig deep into the dialectical relationship between "evil and evil spirits are born in the human heart, and good and evil come from the same source", emphasizing that "to cure the ghosts first, cure the heart", revealing that the real darkness comes from the greed, resentment and selfishness of human nature, and the key to protecting the light lies in awakening the goodwill and empathy deep in the human heart. Purpose 4: Inheriting the mission and adhering to the times As the only descendant of the 20th generation of the family, Shen Jin carries the weight of a century-old inheritance and adheres to an unpopular mission in modern society. Faced with the world's doubts about "ghost hunting" and the impact of science and technology on metaphysics, she proved the value of traditional skills with practical actions - using her yin and yang eyes to detect phenomena that science cannot explain, and using ancestral secrets to solve real-life problems. The purpose is to highlight the "contemporary significance of traditional inheritance", explore how to adhere to cultural roots and original mission aspiration in the changing times, demonstrate the responsibility and responsibility of the younger generation for traditional culture, and convey the idea that "inheritance is not about adhering to the past, but adapting to the present with the original intention."
