Lin Ye, an eighteen-year-old senior high school student, lives in the anxiety of rising rent prices, but on a rainy night, a rusty ring of unknown origin wraps around his wrist. This "soul-locking ring" engraved with strange lines not only attracted the ghost boy with a red bellyband who walked through the wall, but also allowed him to discover a secret hidden in the folds of the city - it turns out that the strange stories in the late night alleys and the unexplained disappearances are all related to the century-old battle between the "Shadow Pavilion" and the "Wenxin Pavilion".
The old man guarding the alley said that he was a descendant of the "ring keeper" and that the ring was a magical weapon to suppress evil spirits and a life-giving talisman. The demon girl in the Shadow Pavilion wants to seize the ring to save her life, the mysterious boy in the Wenxin Pavilion is like an enemy and a friend, and the "car accident" of his parents that year actually hides a more shocking truth.
When the rusty ring became hot, Lin Ye saw the dead cat talking, his face printed on the old newspaper, and even himself in the mirror saying: "It woke up, you are next." He must learn to control this ring before the college entrance examination, otherwise not only will he be swallowed by the evil spirits, but the entire city will become the hunting ground of the Shadow Pavilion. But he doesn't know that what he should be wary of the most may be the "self" who always appears at critical moments.
