Folk Customs Flow Endlessly. Don't Mess with the Village Rules.

Lin Yan, a graduate majoring in folklore restoration, mistakenly entered the ancient village of Wusuo when he returned to his hometown for research, and stepped into a forbidden territory formed by centuries of feudal bad customs and resentments. Every deserted village will refresh the midnight survival code that interweaves true and false. Weird folk customs such as locust trees locking souls, burying girls in ancient wells, stage dramas, and matching bones are all fatal traps. Relying on his solid local folklore knowledge to identify rules, he teamed up with Su Wan, an ancient book restorer, to survive. On the way to crack the taboos, he uncovered a series of low-level injustice cases that had been buried by the times. Traveling through twelve folk dungeons, he gradually unlocked the full power of the "Midnight Survival Code" and saw through the century-old secrets of sacrifice carried by the old village uncle, a guide who was both good and evil. What Lin Yan fought against was never the sinister souls, but the deformed and rigid old custom of cannibalism. With kindness, he saved thousands of lonely souls who died in vain, rewritten the shackles of folk customs, and ended the endless reincarnation of the entire forbidden area.
