Half a Soul for a Longer Life: The Mysterious Bone Breaks the Yin Scheme

Chen Yan's life is rewritten by the scarlet countdown in his left eye. His grandfather dies suddenly, his shoulder blade is stolen, and he has only seven days of yin life left. A bronze compass awakens the inheritance of the Ma Yi Taoist school. Each time he uses its secret bone-reading arts, the countdown speeds up, and contact with evil spirits also drains his yang life. To find all four inherited shoulder blades and prolong his life, he is drawn into Tang Xuan Company's "face-swapping" conspiracy and faces deadly perils such as Nine Ghosts Pinning the Coffin and the Underworld Examination. At the brink of death, Su Qinghan uses half her soul as a catalyst to cast a life-borrowing spell, giving him a glimmer of hope. Together, they fight the traitors of Xuan Sha. When all four shoulder blades are finally brought together, they at last uncover the truth.
