The palace exam is imminent. There are rumours that candidates at the Yingtian Academy are being hunted by the King of Hell. After receiving a strange letter from his mentor, the dean, Bao Zheng sets off with Zhan Zhao to investigate the academy. However, the academy is not as simple as it seems; the dean has vanished, students are dying one after another, and the entire campus is shrouded in a bizarre atmosphere.
Bao Zheng is determined to uncover the truth in order to find his mentor and stop the killings by the King of Hell. Inside the academy, he encounters an aggressive supervisor and unexpectedly meets the childhood sweetheart of the dean. Bao Zheng also ventures alone into the eerie Hell of Ten Kings. These seemingly unrelated people and events gradually intertwine as the truth comes closer to light, leading Bao Zheng to a shocking realization that this is not just a series of murders, but there is an even greater conspiracy hidden within the court.
