A bolt of lightning struck, sending the young Taoist Xu Yunshi into a book.
When he awoke, he had stumbled into a ritual to summon ghosts. A man wearing a human-skin mask appeared without warning and subdued the ghost with a single move.
"Have we met somewhere before?"
The fingers gripping his chin were utterly cold. Xu Yunshi raised his head. "You must be mistaken, sir."
Afterward, he was forced to enter into a life-and-death blood pact with this Mr. Qin and take on the original male protagonist's identity to participate in the "Ghost Hunt."
The very man who had caused all this was the one who taught him how to catch ghosts. He taught him how to survive, and how to be a proper sacrificial scapegoat.
Life at the mansion was unexpectedly warm, and Xu Yunshi almost forgot that he was destined to die. Until one night, the mansion was slaughtered.
The half-ghost man whispered in his ear, "Keep your life for now. You'll repay me later." With that, he disappeared into the rainy night, where rivers of blood ran through the streets.
Five days later, the seal on Linfeng City weakened. Ghosts howled everywhere, and the Ghost Hunt began as scheduled. Ghost hunters from every faction hurried to the Ghost City of the Underworld.
The city gate was mottled with age, and the vermilion plaque looked coldly down at the "river" pouring inside. Xu Yunshi was about to enter the ghost realm, unravel layer after layer of supernatural mysteries, and pursue the truth behind his transmigration and the cause and effect of the blood pact.
Deep in the shadowy mist, he saw the figure from that rainy night again. This time, would that man spare his life?
Guide:
A quick-witted, silver-tongued Taoist shou with formidable fighting skills and strategic prowess VS a devil-cult high priest gong who is half-ghost, outwardly cold and restrained, and inwardly twisted and unhinged
1. A mildly frightening supernatural story with light suspense and a plot-driven storyline. Updates every night from 7 to 10 p.m.
2. A powerful couple who match each other, with plenty of tension. Some mutual hostility and angst early on, but no replacement trope.
3. The gong has half-ghost blood, bears a deep blood feud, and wears a disguise when he first appears. He is more restrained in his feelings early on, but becomes possessive in the middle and later parts.
Theme: Save people, save ghosts, and save you too.
