After sleeping for a thousand years, Yun Qiyue woke to find her divine nature shattered and her memories gone.
The world around her had become overrun with "Ruins of the Void": places where love, hate, obsession, and resentment reached such extremes that they turned into slaughterhouses devouring all living things. And so, on the busiest street in the capital, a mysterious shop appeared: the Dust-Crossing Pavilion.
Its owner, Yun Qiyue, was breathtakingly beautiful in her qipao.
She specialized in the "dirty work" everyone else avoided:
Haunted mansions, ancient paintings that wept blood, abandoned academies where songs rang out at midnight...
Everyone thought she was just a stunning beauty who dabbled in the occult, until she reduced a century-old haunted mansion to dust while chatting and laughing.
Xie Wujiu, the brilliant investigator from the Imperial Observatory, blocked her at the door. His gaze was sharp as a blade. "Who are you, really?"
Yun Qiyue stroked the snow lion in her arms and smiled. "A businesswoman."
"But..."
"I ferry away the obsessions that keep people bound to this world, and lay to rest the attachments that refuse to die."[Reading guide] Soul ferrier + episodic stories + an invincible heroine in an Eastern fantasy.
