Sophora Lantern Embers

Those with a pure Yin fate will not survive the night of their twenty-third birthday When the fifth best friend evaporated out of thin air in Huaiyin Lane, forensic doctor Su Yan saw a horrifying scene in the surveillance video: the missing person was wearing a wedding dress from the Republic of China and walked into the bronze mirror of the old blue brick house with a smile. The treacherous truth that the forensic scalpel could not cut through came to her when she touched the door knocker of the haunted house - the blood on her fingertips awakened the century-old bronze mirror, and the nine ever-bright lamps illuminated the nine cantilevered brides, and the reflection in the mirror was exactly the same as her face. Antique dealer Lu Chen appears with a cracked compass. He said that the women of the Su family were born as Xuanmen lantern holders, and that the cinnabar moles on their collarbones contained soul fire that could burn away Yin and Yang; he said that in the 23rd year of the Republic of China, Su Wantang, the great-grandmother of the Su family, crucified the mirror spirit herself, but made nine women with pure Yin fates become sacrifices for the blood curse; he said that before the red candle burned out at midnight tonight, if she could not snatch the devoured soul from the Samsara Mirror, she would become the tenth wedding ghost in the mirror. Amidst the sounds of suonas being used by Yin soldiers, paper figures carrying scarlet sedans blocked the entrance to the alley. Su Yan clenched the scalpel and opened the palm of his hand, watching the blood flowing with golden light dripping into the bronze mirror - Su Wantang Feng a hundred years ago This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
