Synopsis

Black mist swirls day and night at the mouth of the Ten Thousand Souls Cave, unleashing a supernatural catastrophe that throws both the mortal world and the underworld into turmoil. Lin Xu, a feng shui master, wields a bronze sword to ward off evil and uses a compass to detect danger. Along with the hapless Ma Mingyu, the spirit fox Bai Ling, the sentient Tanggao, and the jittery Maozaojing, he enters this forbidden place filled with vengeful spirits.

The bone-corroding vines ensnare people and eat away at their flesh; the Yinwater Beast thirsts for blood and takes lives; the Black Cult Master's remnant soul lurks inside a magical artifact; and a passage to the underworld stirs ominously as countless little ghosts howl, eager to break through their seal. They battle ghost generals in corpse-qi-filled caves and fight to the death in a soul-suppressing array covered in runes. Every step takes them across the boundary between yin and yang, and one false move could leave their souls scattered forever.

Can the evil spirits be destroyed at last, and can the passage to the underworld be sealed again?

Can the lights of the feng shui shop dispel the last trace of yin energy? Will these brave souls who live alongside ghosts finally find a happy ending where humans and spirits can live in peace, amid terror and passion?

Stay tuned!

Any Good Supernatural Novels with a Powerful, Cold, and Unsentimental Heroine?

Something genuinely scary. There can be a male lead, but the main plot should focus on the mystery and its logic. The female lead shouldn't be a bleeding heart; she should be rather aloof and very capable.
