The Unseen Gate

She had no name or surname. She was the ninth lonely soul on the road to the Yellow Springs, known by the codename Chen Jiu.

He was the coldest official in the Third Directorate of the Wuchang Bureau, holding power over life and death, yet he made an exception for her.

After Chen Jiu died, her soul was muddled and her memories were gone. All she remembered was the sound of wind by her ear.

The Wuchang Bureau did not accept nameless ghosts. She should have searched for her past, been judged for good and evil, and entered the cycle of reincarnation. But Lord Xiao, cold in both face and heart, made an exception and kept her there.

Xiao Yunting, courtesy name Huaijin, was the head of the Wuchang Bureau’s Third Directorate, tasked with capturing evil ghosts and guiding the dead to the afterlife.

He wielded the Judge’s Brush and controlled the Book of Life and Death. His fierce aura kept all ghosts at bay, yet he repeatedly broke the rules for Chen Jiu

But as Chen Jiu’s memories gradually returned, undercurrents stirred within the Wuchang Bureau

A great war between gods and demons a thousand years ago, a sentence to the Eighteenth Level of Hell, and eternal torment...

Every clue pointed to a name deliberately buried: “Zhanyue.”

And when the white silk tucked in Xiao Yunting’s sleeve wrapped around her wrist, Chen Jiu finally saw clearly

The face of the woman in his memories was exactly like hers...

“Those without names cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation. But what if I insist on helping you find your name?”

“Xiao Yunting, why did you keep me here? To save me... or to imprison me?”
