Ghosts exist among the people. They are called ordinary ghosts.
If people do no evil, ghosts will not roam.
More frightening than ghosts is often the human heart.
This supernatural novel combines folk tales of the strange, an alternate world, dark humor, and eerie mysteries.
The protagonist is a ghost official who travels the world. By a twist of fate, he encounters an outrageous injustice that cries out for redress. Bound by his duty as a ghost official, he sets out southward to clear the name of a female ghost.
His journey is beset by one turbulent event after another. He encounters all kinds of supernatural oddities, along with a string of fateful romances and misfortunes!
[Ordinary Ghosts]: Those who die with grievances and such deep obsessions that their souls refuse to enter reincarnation. If left alone, they will eventually be consumed by their obsessions, undergo a violent transformation, and become uncontrollable vengeful ghosts.
[Vengeful Ghosts]: Beings who remain in the world of the living for various reasons, blinded by obsession and hatred. They are not bound by the divide between yin and yang, and can kill without leaving a trace.
[Evil Ghosts]: Those who committed countless misdeeds while alive and received no prayers or rites of deliverance after death. Their souls are cast into the Eighteen Levels of Hell, though a few still slip through the net.
[Hollow Souls]: People who have no family or friends in the human world, whose bodies lie unattended in the wilderness, and whom no one remembers. After death, they too cannot enter reincarnation. They can only drift among the living until time wears them away completely, leaving their souls scattered to the winds.
