With unfinished business keeping her from moving on, Shi Wanyin took the advice of the Black and White Impermanence and decided to spend money on connections so she could keep wandering the human world as a law-abiding housebound ghost. She never expected to run into Gu Zixun, a staunch believer in materialism.
Desperate to drive him out of her home, Shi Wanyin went to great lengths, only for him to use science to explain away every strange occurrence and wave the banner of “champion science, oppose superstition,” denying the existence of ghosts and spirits.
But after a twist of fate, Gu Zixun learned of the secrets of Yanci Village through a curse rumor and the man-eating Corroding Bone Pit. He also discovered that Shi Wanyin’s family had not died of an ordinary plague, but had been killed by someone using sorcery, and that the circumstances bore a striking resemblance to the deaths of his own parents. Sensing that something was amiss, he decided to uncover the truth.
As they investigated, they fell for each other, but kept their feelings unspoken because they were separated by the boundary between the living and the dead…
