Years ago, Wei Wuxian-adopted son of the Jiang family-was viciously beaten by Madame Yu after a rebellious, emotionally charged stunt meant to prove himself to Jiang Cheng. The abuse, both physical and psychological, triggers the fragmentation of his identity. While the damage goes unnoticed at first, a second personality forms: a colder, more calculated protector-Yiling Laozu.
Years later, a series of vigilante acts begins surfacing in Yiling: gang violence is crushed overnight, human traffickers vanish, and drug dens are burned down. The city whispers about a shadowy figure-neither fully hero nor villain-who operates without mercy and leaves no trace.
Lan Xichen, a seasoned detective, is sent to investigate alongside his partner Nie Mingjue. As their case spirals into inexplicable territory-suspects with wiped memories, signs of ritualistic behavior, and eerily precise psychological manipulation-Lan Xichen calls for help.
Enter Lan Wangji: brilliant, reclusive psychiatrist, well-versed in dissociative disorders and cases that defy standard science. What he doesn't expect is to come face-to-face with someone from his past: Wei Wuxian, the charmingly chaotic university dropout turned volunteer teacher in Yiling's slums.
But Wei Wuxian isn't alone in his body anymore.
