[Better to have a Green Dragon towering a thousand feet than let a White Tiger poke its head out!]
[Other people worry their online dates won’t look like their photos when they meet in person. When I, Song Zhen, met my online date, I almost “saw a ghost.”]
[Other couples enjoy romantic dates under the moon and among the flowers. My girlfriend tells me how she communicates with spirits, settles debts between the living and the dead, and resolves one karmic retribution after another.]
[And I, born with a supernatural constitution and the son of a shamanic medium, am naturally her most devoted listener, staunchest supporter, and the best chronicler of her extraordinary life.]
[In this book, you’ll discover]
The most authentic world of shamanic mediums: This isn’t fantasy cultivation, but a collision of traditional culture and modern city life. It features fortune-telling, investigating spiritual disturbances, and settling grievances with vengeful spirits, all focused on resolving problems and karmic ties.
An irresistibly sweet, opposites-attract couple: A demobilized soldier × a socially anxious shamanic medium. She’s his “sheepdog,” and he’s her “anchor.” Their everyday romance is sweet and warm, and they work together seamlessly on their “cases.”
A case-of-the-week mystery: Every story comes from everyday life: an ash spirit in a lab, a “little person” following a neighbor, a colleague searching for a child in a dream, strange activity in a client’s home... Suspense builds with every case, but the endings are warm and uplifting.
Strong Northeastern Chinese flavor: Down-to-earth language and authentic cityscapes paint a vivid picture of folk customs in a different Northeast.
