Zhang Chulan walks into a graveyard as a nobody and walks out marked for something bigger than survival. The show trashes its own premise halfway through, abandoning the zombie-school-life setup for a sprawling conspiracy of martial arts cults, psychic powers, and mystery boxes stacked on mystery boxes. Animation crumbles when it matters most, but the action sequences that do land hit with genuine weight, and the plot actually gets smarter as it goes deeper, rewarding anyone stubborn enough to stick with it past the rough opening.

Zhang Chulan is an ordinary college student until he returns to his home village and learns that the grave of his grandfather, Zhang Xilin, has been desecrated. While searching the cemetery for clues, he is attacked and left to face a horde of jianshi. A mysterious girl carrying a sword appears, saves him, then disappears, and he survives by using qi, the power his grandfather taught him. That one encounter upends his quiet existence. Back at school, he runs into the tomb raider Feng Baobao again. She works for a state body that deals with outcasts, people who wield qi, and she pushes him into a delivery company that serves as its front. With rival factions chasing the power he is said to have inherited, Zhang Chulan has to work out whom he can trust in a supernatural action adventure.
