Lin Xi is a woman whose name is quietly whispered in the shadowy corners of the city and among the ancient taboos of the occult world.
She is the owner of the Paranormal Affairs Office and the only heir to the Netherworld Talisman.
Her supernatural gift, “Communion with the Underworld,” lets her see the true nature of spirits and strike at the source of the uncanny.
Ink and brush are her proof; talismans are her blade. Every ancient symbol she draws becomes a weapon of judgment, burning evil spirits to ash.
Calm and principled, she charges for her work. She may show kindness to the innocent, but she never hesitates to strike down evil ghosts and demonic cultivators. With decisive force, she makes her own fate through sheer will and ability.
She needs no backing and no male lead. She is a lone wolf walking between the realms of yin and yang.
A job cleansing a haunted house breaks open a century-old tree of resentment and exposes the demonic cult known as the Nightmare Sect, lurking behind the scenes.
After an unexpected act of assistance, she takes in A Zhao, a girl with chaotic yin-yang eyes, and inadvertently sets her on the path of inheritance.
Warnings from the ancient underworld, schemes by the newly formed Spirit Association, the Nightmare Sect’s tightening plots, and whispers from a slumbering demon god: one storm after another closes in.
When the sleeping Painted-Skin Demon Lord seizes a chance to wreak havoc, when the shadow of the “Eraser” spreads across the mortal world, and when the balance between yin and yang teeters on the brink of total collapse...
Lin Xi stands at the eye of the storm, her gaze as cold and sharp as a blade.
She needs no romance to complete her. She believes only in the ghostly flames kindled by the talismans in her hands.
She fears no price for striking back. All she wants is to cut off disaster at its source.
Guided by her power to commune with the underworld and sworn to a heart that can subdue evil, she faces this ancient, uncanny conspiracy alone.
“I, Lin Xi, need no one at my side.”
“Anyone who stands in my way, god or demon, will be cut down!”
