Lights in the World, Boats in the Underworld

During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor worshiped Taoism, and undercurrents surged in the world. A bizarre "paper man murder case" forced the criminal suspect Shen Hanzhou, who had retired into seclusion, to return to the world. He teamed up with the mysterious girl Su Luo, whose life experience was a mystery, and while pursuing a series of bizarre cases, he gradually came into contact with the "Netherworld Division", a terrorist organization that uses mortal souls to refine the "Essential Soul Pill" and attempts to prove immortality through sorcery. When the peak of martial arts meets the cultivator of magic tricks, what they face is a life-and-death confrontation that transcends the scope of martial arts.
