Folk journalist Lin Xiaoman ventures alone into Wuyin Village to investigate the legend of "sacrificing to the Xiao Lord every decade". Branded an "outsider who brings disaster", she's driven away by villagers—only the cold mountain guardian Lu Zhao watches silently. Sneaking into the Xiao Lord's Shrine at night, she catches Lu Zhao murmuring to an empty niche: "This year, it's my turn to keep the promise." As villagers go missing one after another, Lin Xiaoman uncovers that the "sacrifice" is a scam run by the village chief using the Xiao Lord's name to extort money. Lu Zhao's hidden identity is revealed: he's the last guardian of the Xiao Lord, and what he guards isn't an evil spirit—but the soul of his lover, who died protecting the village from a mob a decade ago. When greedy hands reach for the shrine, how will they protect the gentle soul hidden in the mist?
