Nanming Notes

Zhou Yiran lived for twenty-five years, and transformed from a bookstore owner into a spiritual master who requiems people's souls. I thought everything was just a matter of impermanence, but I didn't expect it to be fate. Chengyin has lived for at least two thousand years. As the head of the twelve envoys of Zhenling Division, he is helpless even to the people he wants to protect. When the spirit body disappeared, Zhou Yiran asked Chen Yin: "Sir, in your eyes, am I not even a human being?" After a short moment of silence, Chengyin replied: "You are a human being." Zhou Yiran looked disbelieving and laughed at himself: "Really?" Most of the demons and monsters that linger at the boundary between life and death are burdened with various ethical difficulties, trapped in obsessions and unable to escape. Chengyin is like this, and so is the people in Nanming. In Nanming, perhaps death is the real relief. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
