The remnant soul of Heavenly Official Zhu Yin (Xie Zhifei), who died unjustly five hundred years ago, was accidentally reborn in the body of a mortal boy, Lu Shiyi. At that time, the "earth weeping" disaster spread throughout the three realms. In order to explore the truth about the events of the year and the origin of the earth's weeping, he relied on his unique "Heart Mark Technique" to sense people's hearts, explore the secrets, and pursue the "Illustrated Records of Earth Officials" and the ancient artifact Guixu Mirror, which are related to the balance of heaven and earth.
During the journey, his fate was once again intertwined with that of Si Mingjun Shen Qingxian, who had watched his torture indifferently but was now in charge of the rules of heaven. From the initial hostility and mutual suspicion, the two were forced to join forces due to conspiracy and common enemies (such as Ye Crow and Feng Ruoyao), and experienced life and death dangers such as the Mirror Lake Fantasy Land and the Falling Star Altar. Not only do they have to face external pursuits and calculations, but they also have to face betrayal from the past (Murong Feng) and their own inner trauma.
In repeated tests on the brink of despair, they glimpsed the shocking events in which the contract between heaven and earth was tampered with, and the fallen ancient emperor attempted to release the "Guixu" to destroy the three realms. Through the almost soul-crushing resonance and mutual redemption, the relationship between the two has undergone a profound transformation, from old enemies to each other's only reliance.
In the end, they joined forces (with the help of the catalog and the mirror of return to ruins) to defeat the fallen emperor's conspiracy, quelled some of the earth's tears, and adopted Xie Heng, an orphan with the gift of heart scars, and found a brief period of peace in Yuexi Pond. However, the changes in Guixu Mirror herald a new extraterrestrial threat. Their story is far from over, and a new journey is about to begin.
