In the hidden corners of the Folk Culture Bureau, there lurks a group of special consultants who deal with "urban ghost stories".
Fu Linyuan, a ruffian Taoist priest who loves money but is fast and ruthless in drawing talismans, barely makes a living by accepting supernatural commissions; Yan Shouzhen, a cold and self-sufficient associate professor of philosophy, is secretly a reclusive descendant of the Quanzhen sect.
A series of sudden deaths tied the two together. Fu Linyuan couldn't stand Yan Shouzhen's "cold preaching", and Yan Shouzhen also disliked Fu Linyuan's "unruly behavior". But in the treacherous urban shadow, they had to become each other's only support.
As the investigation deepens, the old case of "Human Alchemy" from 30 years ago comes to light - it is the last case of Fu Linyuan's mother, and it is also the knot that Yan Shouzhen has been carrying for his whole life. When the curtain of the truth opened, the two discovered that this conspiracy spanning time and space had already tightly entwined their lives and Taoist hearts.
Purpose: To explore the true meaning of "obsession and release", and to express the value of "no matter the level of Taoism or Dharma, only people's hearts are good and mutual salvation is the right path".
