Core settings:
Seven generations of resentment, birth of evil marks: The protagonist Liu Qi is the 'yin fetus' formed by the condensation of seven generations of resentment. His mother gave birth during the half-month period of the seventh lunar month (Ghost Festival) when the blood moon was in the sky. Resentment broke through the fetal barrier and evil spirits entered her bones. When he was born, the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck three times like a netherworld cord, and the umbilical cord blood spurted out into a soul-attracting image. The midwife was struck by the evil spirit and died on the spot.
Hundreds of ghosts knocked on the door, and a bloody battle ensued: On the night of the birth, the spirit of resentment attracted demons and monsters from hundreds of miles around, and hundreds of ghosts knocked on the door and demanded their lives. Liu Chengzong, the grandfather of the Liu family, holds the ancestral seven-star copper coin sword, burns the source of life, uses thunder spells to scare hundreds of ghosts, and stains the lintel with blood, just to protect this seemingly ominous grandson who carries the family's last hope (or curse?).
Born with Yin pupils and evil spirits as blades: Liu Qi has had the 'Yin evil ghost eyes' that can penetrate Yin and Yang and look directly into the underworld since birth. He is neither a human nor a ghost, but he can turn the most sinister and evil spirit of resentment into his own use. Ordinary Taoist priests need to use talismans and magical instruments to communicate with the power of heaven and earth to perform spells. He can do it at his fingertips, just like instinct. For eighteen years, his grandfather protected him with his life and tempered him with secret techniques, which forged his invincible heart as cold as iron and decisive in killing.
Stepping into the bloody underworld and settling old grudges: After the coming-of-age ceremony, Liu Qi stepped into the chaotic land of Yin and Yang alone, armed with a lightning-strike mahogany sword, an ink bucket of soul-twisting thread, and a mouth-pressing soul-suppressing money. His goal is definitely not to survive in the world, but to go straight to the source of resentment - Jiuyou Underworld. Grandpa's bones, the Liu family's blood debt, and the fateful grudges that have entangled for seven generations will all be washed away with the blood of all ghosts. "It's you who should go on the road!" - This is his cold war letter to the entire underworld.
