The Mystic Paper Effigy Maker

Before I was even born, my grandfather had already begun quietly changing my fate, arranging an engagement to someone I had never met. He spared no effort to defy fate and pass down the paper effigy-making craft of the Four Yin Sect, hoping to avoid every calamity brought by the Five Bane and Three Deficiencies. When I was born, strange omens appeared in the sky. Something extraordinary was happening, and it seemed all the disasters were only just beginning. It looked as though everything had been set in place, but in the end, no one could have expected that the Liu family, already renowned and successful thanks to my grandfather’s lifesaving help and advice, would publicly break off their engagement at his grave, heedless of the debt they owed him, and leave without a second thought. But they never imagined that this would also mark the beginning of the Liu family’s decline and terror! From then on, my presence would leave every one of them filled with regret! From the moment I left the mountain village, an extraordinary journey awaited me. For the sake of my grandfather’s painstaking efforts, and to carry on the paper effigy-makers’ craft, I set out on a path tangled in the Four Yin Sect’s thousand-year history of grudges.
