Paper-Cutting Opens the Spirit Realm: I Become a Stand-In in the Horror Stories

Lin Wan, heir to the Su family's papercutting tradition, is forced to bind herself to a Folk Custom Guardian System after receiving an order for a portrait of a “lost first love.” She enters a world of supernatural rules formed from human obsessions. Here, she is both a wealthy man's substitute for his deceased first love and the only one who can cut through resentment and break the cycle with the scissors in her hands. When every conspiracy points back to the source of her own memories, Lin Wan discovers that the true way out is not to become a perfect version of “her,” but to cut herself into the sharpest form of her own.
