The Great Yin Dynasty is awash in foul energy, and demons and monsters run rampant.
Here, mortals are demons' food, cultivators are breeding grounds for the uncanny, and humans and ghosts stand together in the imperial court. All living beings are merely "resources" for higher powers to feed on.
To stay alive, Shen Ninghuan puts on the bloodstained gray robes of her recently deceased twin brother and assumes his name, infiltrating the Ghost Suppression Bureau, where survival is all but impossible.
From the bone-strewn yellow sands of the Western Wastes to the dragon-aura imperial city of Zhongzhou,
she becomes the sharpest blade in the Ghost Suppression Bureau, and the most dangerous anomaly in the world.
Powerful ministers seek to win her over, demon kings watch her closely, and Buddhist monks try to guide her to salvation.
Countless eyes focus on this young man who can walk through darkness and even feed on it.
They all want to know: What kind of monster is this person who can walk through darkness and even feed on it?
Shen Ninghuan: At first, I just wanted to survive. Later, I decided I would step on their shoulders and rule this world.
Theme: When Heaven and Earth feed on all living things, I will reach into the cold ashes and raise a light that never goes out.
