Ghost Pact: Forgotten Village

A fictional novel. A real curse.

Short on inspiration, online novelist Qiao Jian follows the fictional map from his own novel, Ghost Contract, into the fog-shrouded city of Z. On the night he checks in, an anonymous text signed "Nian" arrives out of the blue: "You shouldn't have come here." Before the warning can even settle, his adventurous old friend Lu Xun follows his trail, insisting on visiting the forbidden place from the novel called Forgotten Return Village. Lu Xun's bizarre disappearance is like a boulder tossed into stagnant water. Meanwhile, a young woman named Xiaodie, who works at the flower shop on the corner, enters Qiao Jian's life with a familiarity that makes his heart skip. Eerie texts follow him like a shadow, and the secrets of the sealed-off ancient village are calling. When Qiao Jian and Xiaodie enter the desolate Forgotten Return Village, they discover an oath and a destiny entwined for hundreds of years inside an old mansion... The truth he seeks may be the very curse he can never escape.

To find the truth, they enter the forgotten old mansion, which seems to conceal secrets powerful enough to overturn the very fabric of time and space.

Can the ghost's contract truly break the shackles of reincarnation?
