This novel is told in first person. It is a slow burn with an ensemble cast and no romance, focusing mainly on the heroine’s growth. The story is driven by mysteries and supernatural incidents. I can’t believe they tagged this as romance!
Wang Moli is an ordinary twenty-eight-year-old housewife raising three children. One day, the entire Li clan appears out of nowhere and hails her as the family leader chosen by fate.
She only wants a quiet, ordinary life, but is drawn into one strange folk incident after another: the vengeful spirit of a ghost wedding in Dahuang Village, a thousand-year-old peach tree demon trapped by obsession, a human and a demon who switch bodies, and mountain spirits lurking in the forests of Dujuan Mountain. One bizarre case follows another. At first, she acts only according to her own sense of right and wrong. A moment of softness brings calamity upon her clan, and Heaven’s laws punish them. Then she learns to abide by those laws, plead for the dead through written petitions, bind the entire Li clan to her with a blood oath, and assemble a team of her own. A rival family plots against her at every turn, setting traps through supernatural incidents to lure her into breaking Heaven’s rules as they compete for the position of Heaven’s chosen agent. This is no effortless power fantasy, but the gradual transformation of an ordinary mother amid the tangled worlds of the living and the dead. Pushed forward by fate at first, she eventually finds her footing, comes to understand the suffering of all living beings, and realizes that compassion can never take precedence over Heaven’s laws. This is a low-fantasy supernatural anthology with an ensemble cast, centered on the growth and choices of ordinary people caught in the web of karma.
