The night Chen Jin inherits a dilapidated funeral home, blood-red rules suddenly appear on the corpse in the freezer: [Keep vigil at midnight. Do not let the black cat leap over the coffin.]
Forced to use a paper effigy as a decoy to lure away the ghost cat, he finds the dead person’s “Paper-Cutting Spirit Mediumship” appearing in his palm
It turns out that the surviving pages of the ancestral Book of Life and Death of the Nine Hells have transformed the funeral home into a battlefield where the rules of the living and dead converge!
The ironclad rules of a red-clad corpse’s ghost wedding, the death sentence written on a ghost opera troupe’s playbill, sacrificial marks carved into the walls of Fengdu City...
Only when Chen Jin tears open the tenth surviving page does he discover that these so-called rule-based horror stories
are actually the Handbook for Surviving in the Human Realm, written in their own blood by a hundred thousand gods before the collapse of the Underworld.
