Lin Sheng, the last bloodline of the Haojing Lin family. When he was three years old, a night attack destroyed his sect and his parents. Only his master's wife picked him up from the rubble and raised him. He was born with a cool and handsome look, with long hair in green clothes, and a drop of southern red tear on his earrings. He looked as gentle as jade, but in fact he had a vicious mouth and a cold heart, and there was a fierce murderous intention hidden in his bones. When he was traveling to Luosuo at the age of sixteen, he met his lifelong enemy, Qiao Yan, the second son of the Qiao family in Lin'an. The two were disgusted with each other and faced each other tit for tat, but during several life-and-death encounters, they secretly developed feelings for each other. Lin Sheng was frightened by his thoughts and fled in a hurry.
Later, in order to kill Lu Guanrong, the demon who brought trouble to hundreds of immortal families, Lin Sheng burned his life at the cost of his soul. Before he died, he entrusted the child Ah Zhen he picked up on the roadside to Qiao Yan.
He woke up in the underworld and met the soul seducer Yao Yueshu. In order to live a new life, Lin Sheng took the Resurrection Pill, at the cost of losing all her memories, and searched for the Soul-Eating Pearl, an evil object that could swallow the souls of thousands of creatures.
Eleven years later, Lin Sheng became a casual cultivator, searching for pearls in the world alone. In an inn, he reunited with his old friend.
Qiao Yan stared at that strange yet familiar face, her fingertips trembling. It took him eleven years to get out of the shadow of that soul-crushing incident and raise Ah Zhen into an adult, thinking that he could finally live in peace. But this man just sat there carelessly, his green clothes still the same, but he didn't recognize him anymore.
"This fellow Taoist," Lin Sheng tilted his head slightly, his eyes distant, "Have we ever met before?"
Qiao Yan gripped the Zhenlin sword hilt tightly, gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "No."
This time, he would not let Lin Sheng escape.
Exorcism in Nanman Mountain, haunting by shadow demons, reviving old dreams. When memories came back like a flood, Lin Sheng finally remembered the unspoken love and what he owed Qiao Yan. The clues about the soul-eating beads also led him to a deeper truth: the massacre of the family twenty-four years ago and the soul-eating curse on the girl he had saved before he lost his memory were actually done by the same person.
Chang Mingyu, the third elder of the Chang family who was respected by everyone for his great contribution in eradicating the Lu family.
Revenge, find the pearl, break the situation. This time, Lin Sheng no longer died alone.
Because behind him, there was Qiao Yan holding a sword; there was Ah Zhen softly calling him "Aniang"; there was the Haojing Lin family that he had risked his life to rebuild, finally waiting to return.
