In his previous life, Fan Yan witnessed the entire Duke of Zhen’s household slaughtered at the execution grounds. The treacherous chancellor Wei Yong and Prince Qing Zhao Qi framed them for treason, invited the Hu cavalry through the border pass, and laid the land to waste. Fan Yan’s soul was devoured by black ants until he died.
Reborn on the eve of the calamity, he returns to the time before the chaos erupted. The mysterious seal remains in his palm, and billions of black ants serve as his eyes and ears. From mountains and rivers to streets and alleys, he can spy on the slightest stir. But power comes at a price: every time he commands the ants, his soul endures the agony of their bites.
Under the imperial court, hidden currents swirl, and treacherous officials lay a web of traps. In the north, the Hu cavalry sharpen their blades, waiting for a chance to invade. Using the black ants’ ability to spy on the world, Fan Yan secretly gathers evidence, exposes hidden traitors, and methodically settles his blood feud.
Only when the northern border is pacified and the dust is about to settle does he realize that the mysterious seal is more than just a secret art of revenge. As the seal reaches completion, an ant race from beyond the world, dormant since time immemorial, begins to awaken. An apocalypse capable of destroying the human world is already brewing in the shadows.
