Synopsis

Wu You was born with yin-yang eyes, and two mysterious immortal beings have watched over him since childhood. After a twist of fate, he becomes an acting official of the underworld, gaining the ability to travel between the worlds of yin and yang and command a hundred ghosts. Thus begins his life of driving out ghosts, vanquishing evil, and helping the dead find peace.

After facing the underground palace in Jindu, the immortal wild beings of the Northeast, the ghost market of Fengdu, the evil shadow of Changbai Mountain, and a series of bizarre, convoluted supernatural incidents, he overcomes one trial after another and finally foils a conspiracy centuries in the making. At the same time, he discovers that in a past life, he was a fox spirit of immense Taoist power. A past-life entanglement, a reunion in this life: which will he choose? Forget the past, or give up everything?
