Taoist priest

In a time when warlords battle for territory and ancient traditions are fading into myth, one man wanders between the worlds of the living and the dead.



Li Hua, a roguish Taoist priest with unmatched martial skills and a taste for wine and mischief, drifts from village to village under the pretense of exorcising spirits. Beneath his laid-back charm lies a deeper burden: the ghost of a betrayal and a mysterious disappearance that changed his life forever. When a strange blue lantern flickers to life in the ruins of Guangyuan Temple, Li Hua is pulled into a dangerous web of forgotten rituals, vengeful spirits, and a talisman long thought destroyed—the Huang Dao Yin.



As Li Hua investigates, he crosses paths with Mei, a sharp-witted young scholar seeking answers about her family’s lost legacy. Though they clash at first, an uneasy partnership forms, and soon, a fragile romance begins to blossom amid curses, cryptic prophecies, and blood-soaked temples.



Their journey will take them deep into cursed mountains, abandoned fortresses, and ancestral tombs, where the dead do not rest easily. Along the way, Li Hua must confront his past, unravel the mystery of the missing Master of Jinling, and uncover a conspiracy that could shatter the boundary between yin and yang—and plunge the world into chaos.



In a world where gods are silent and spirits are restless, one wandering priest must choose between escaping the past… or facing it.
