Ling Xi, a second-year student at Jinghu University, seems like an ordinary beauty fretting over her advanced math class. In secret, however, she is the last heir of a family of mystics, and she moonlights as a “spirit guide.” Put plainly, she's an “underworld worker” who helps the “relevant departments” deal with ghosts lingering in the mortal world.
Born with Yin-Yang Eyes, she can see the demons and spirits invisible to ordinary people. Her unusual constitution makes her soul so pure that she's like a walking “ghost magnet,” but it also means she's had to learn mystical arts to protect herself since childhood. By day, she chats about celebrity gossip with her roommates and struggles through demanding classes. Late at night, when a mysterious app on her phone rings, she changes into clothes she can move in and heads out to deal with ghosts who linger in the human world because of their attachments. They might be a rich young woman killed in a drunk-driving accident who refuses to accept reality, someone who died unjustly, or simply a little ghost who's lost its way.
On one side is the everyday excitement of college life; on the other is a paranormal world entangled with life, death, obsession, and karma. As Ling Xi is pulled between her studies and her “part-time job,” she must deal with all kinds of ghosts and unravel the mystery of her own origins. Why did her parents vanish without a trace? What secret of the mystical world is her grandmother guarding? And behind the seemingly unrelated supernatural incidents, there appears to be a hidden thread connecting past and present...
This is a story about growing up, responsibility, and redemption. It offers thrilling ghost hunts, the tender feelings of youth, and reflections on life, death, and human nature. When a beautiful young woman encounters “nasty things,” watch as she finds her own path between the worlds of yin and yang.
