Plot
Ah Lun, who was killed by thunder, came to the underworld with blank memories. He must make a choice: reincarnate as a snail or take up a priesthood, accumulate virtuous virtues, and be reincarnated as a human being. Ah Lun decided to become Yue Lao. He teamed up with Pinky, who had an explosive personality, and came to the world to perform a mission. When Ah Lun met the dog Alu and his owner Xiaomi, his memories of his previous life came back, because Xiaomi was the love of his life. Ah Lun hopes to help Xiaomi in the world find a new marriage, but every red thread tied to Xiaomi's hands has been burnt. It turns out that some things will not change in ten thousand years.
At the same time, Gui Toucheng, who went from the underworld to the human world, launched a bloody revenge operation and found the thief brother who betrayed and killed him five hundred years ago. While Ah Lun was still excited about Xiao Mi's failure to tie the red line, Guitoucheng regarded Xiao Mi as the next target for revenge
