During the prosperous days of the Daye Dynasty, there was a government office that was not recorded in the annals of history—Soushensi. It is based on the ancient records of the Han Dynasty and the collection of "Strange Stories of Mountains and Seas" as its guide. It specializes in mediating disputes between humans and demons and maintaining the fragile balance of heaven and earth. Su Mu, the young lantern wielder, comes from a declining demon-slaying family and has an extraordinary talent: he can read the memories and emotions of spirits and the dead by touching the remnants. Due to an old case, a fragment of the soul of an ancient beast was sealed in his body, and he has been living with fear ever since. His partner Bai Ze is an ancient mythical beast who knows all things. He transforms into a scholar in white and can solve the crux of the murder case in one sentence, but he cannot understand human love and hate. One is a mind reader, the other is insensible. This pair of contrasting partners is ordered to investigate strange cases in all directions. From the silkworm girl who died for love and turned into a cocoon, to the martyred woman whose resentment gave birth to an acacia tree, to the epidemic ghost who complained of injustice with the plague, every case is a torture of human nature. When Su Mu gradually learns empathy, and when Bai Ze begins to feel the temperature, a dark line gradually emerges: an ancient dark force originating from the ancient "Jedi Tiantong" is awakening. And the target it targeted was Bai Ze.
