Synopsis

I am Xu Ziye, born with a body that is “like Tang Monk’s flesh” to evil spirits: born in a yin year, yin month, and yin hour, with a pure-yin Water destiny.

Grandpa said I wouldn’t live past the age of three.

To keep my fate in check, he gave me the most yin name of all, “Ziye.” He even arranged an unbelievable “marriage” for me while I was still in swaddling clothes: a ghost marriage to someone in the underworld.

Thanks to the protection of this “ghost wife,” I survived into adulthood. But no one ever told me what it would cost to marry a ghost. An eternal shackle? Or would I become a sacrifice to something even more terrifying?

To break free of this invisible cage, I ran. I fled to a place the living avoided at all costs: the Binhai City Funeral Home. Deathly energy filled the place. Ordinary people were afraid even to go near it, but it was the only place I could hide.

I thought I could catch my breath for a while.

But I had no idea the depths of the funeral home were even more eerie and sinister than I imagined. The souls that should have been resting in peace seemed to be... watching me.

And the “gaze” from somewhere beyond this world had never left me.

Perhaps my escape had led me into another, even deeper trap from the very beginning...

To everyone else, they're just an ordinary person. They wear a mask to save the world. No stories without a female lead.

The protagonist shouldn't be a self-sacrificing saint, and the supporting cast shouldn't be stupid. Preferably a hundred...
