Synopsis

An Eastern supernatural mystery × power struggles between humans and demons, an imagined ancient setting × fantasy romance

Ever since Yan Wujie arrived in Qingzhou to take up his post with the Demon Suppression Bureau, cases have been erupting across the city, with various factions tangled together. To repay her debt of gratitude, the formless spirit Xu Shisanniang joins Yan Wujie in piecing together the clues and uncovering the truth behind each case.

In the fourth year of Yongqing, humans and demons signed the Cloud Abyss Pact to rule the realm together. Yet a horrifying massacre shook Qingzhou: the thirteen members of the city's richest family, the Liu family, had their hearts shattered, and eerie blue phosphorescence flickered in their chests. In a child's dying vision, a red fox appeared alongside a demon tiger.

The Yunhua opera troupe had just arrived in Qingzhou and won the crowd's applause with its first performance at Tianyin Tower. But overnight, the theater was reduced to ruins. Troupe leader Qin Henian, dazed and distraught, dug an iron box out of the rubble. Inside, demon bones glimmered blue.

The once-antique sandalwood plaque above the entrance began to seep blood-red lacquer. The three characters for "Warm Fragrance Abode" twisted and changed, eventually becoming "Yin-Yang Crossing."

Thirteenth Lady lounged against the counter, which was piled high with bones. Her eyes were half-lidded as she cast a sidelong glance toward the underworld candle by the door. Her voice, tinged with both weariness and anticipation, drifted out slowly: "Tsk, it's the fifteenth again tonight. I wonder if I'll manage to sign enough living contracts today."
