Lu Yan, a modern criminal psychological profiler, was pierced through the heart with a dagger engraved with runes while tracking a serial killer, and his soul fell into the legendary eighteenth level of hell. He has no karma from his previous life, but he can see ghosts' "life memory fragments" and can touch things in the underworld with a mortal body - these "pure eyes" have become the biggest variable in hell for thousands of years.
Xie Ye, the "Xingjun" who is in charge of the punishment of hell, is an immortal body condensed by the resentment of the netherworld. He has lived for a hundred thousand years and is the incarnation of the iron law. He has seen the most ferocious evil and the most hypocritical good, but he has never seen a being like Lu Yan: he dares to analyze the criminal motives of evil ghosts in Daoshan Prison, dares to question the rationality of punishment in front of the Hall of Hell, and even dares to use the "laws" of the human world to refute the "karma judgment" of the underworld.
When Xie Ye breaks the iron law of "no strangers are allowed to enter the underworld" to protect this "alien", and when Lu Yan glimpses Xie Ye's loneliness that has been hidden for a hundred thousand years in the bloody rules, the dust-laden secrets of the underworld and the truth about Lu Yan's journey gradually open up: the eighteen levels of hell are not only the prison of sinners, but also the shackles that seal the "shadow of nothingness"; Lu Yan's soul contains the "candle of life" that allows Xie Ye to break free from the shackles of eternity.
From the sophistry of the Tongue-pulling Prison to the deathly silence of the Infinite Hell, from looking back at the River of Forgetfulness to the confrontation in front of the Sansheng Stone, two souls collide on the edge of sin and redemption. When the rules of hell are shaken by them, and when the "Shadow of Nothingness" breaks through the seal, they will eventually light an eternal lamp belonging to gods and mortals in the depths of the netherworld.
Purpose: In the collision of absolute rules and complex human nature, explore true fairness and redemption, and illuminate boundary-crossing understanding and warmth in the darkness.
