"Sister-in-law Chunhua is dead! She died last night," Xiaomei said.
Five-year-old Xiaoying: "But I saw her on my way to school this morning!"
Seeing the reflection of the dead in the little girl's eyes, Granny Si said, "Learn my skills, and nothing you can see will be able to hurt you!"
Xiaoying said to Du Xuanqing, "When people start calling me Master Ye, I'll come to the capital to see you!"
Du Xuanqing left Xiaoying a message: "When you come to the capital, I'll take you around to try every delicious thing!"
Will they still remember their childhood promises when they meet again in a foreign land ten years later?
The Yin-Yang fish jade pendant: "Cultivate well. Only by sealing it away can you avert a catastrophe for the mortal world!"
Xiaoying: "If this is my mission, then let's fight!"
In an isolated mountain village in the 1980s, a peasant woman's suicide leads Granny Si, who has come to handle supernatural affairs, to discover Ye Ying, an orphan born with Yin-Yang eyes. Granny Si adopts her. Ye Ying only wants to become an ordinary medium, but at the age of ten, she unexpectedly forms a bond with a red-clad female ghost in a mass grave. From then on, her fate takes a turn, binding her in an inexorable cycle of cause and effect with the demon Qi.
After accepting the Yin-Yang fish jade pendant that holds a secret, her fated choice sends her down a thorn-covered path, surrounded by demons! A wicked cultivator on a train (human flesh braised pork), a sacrificial scheme during military training (a corpse-scented illusion), a series of murders involving the Five Passes Sect...
She fights through blood and fire, all to protect!
Theme: In a turbulent world, an orphan girl fights evil spirits and the wickedness of human nature with nothing but an ordinary human's strength. Through loss and farewells, she finds redemption and ultimately protects that one undying spark in her heart.
