Su Ye, a young man from the modern world, transmigrates into another world only to die suddenly, immediately becoming a wandering ghost. By chance, he awakens an automatic cultivation AFK system. To evade capture by Ox-Head and Horse-Face, he mingles with ghosts living in the human world, accidentally learns Taoist magic, and accumulates merit. While experiencing the absurd daily life of a ghost who still has to work to make a living, he navigates between Taoist priests and evil spirits and unexpectedly encounters Lin Qingmeng, a female disciple of the Jiuxiao Fujuan Sect. As supernatural incidents unfold, from evil ghosts wreaking havoc to a ghost bride driven by an obsession with revenge, Su Ye, a ghost who understands Taoist arts, embarks on a cultivation path unlike any other, straddling the worlds of humans and spirits.
