Records of Yin and Yang

A pair of eyes born able to see ghosts, an old house with three skeletons buried beneath it, and a tangled feud spanning forty years.

Shen Ye, a folklorist born with yin-yang eyes, buys a haunted house deep in Liuxiang Lane in the southern city for the dirt-cheap price of thirty thousand yuan. A century-old scholar tree in the courtyard gathers yin energy and hides ghosts. Beneath it lies a spirit trapped by a warding object. Night after night, a female ghost in a red qipao points at the tree, while a young, wronged spirit cries out from underground: "Mother, I won't leave..."

As Shen Ye delves deeper, the secrets of three generations of the Lu family are revealed layer by layer: the eldest son who hanged himself, the mother who went mad, the missing remains, and the person secretly manipulating everything.

His master warns him on his deathbed: "Once you touch the Soul-Tethering Bait, there's no turning back."

This is not a memoir. It is a petition for justice written by the living on behalf of the dead.

Every shadow you see once belonged to someone's life.
