“Master Jiu, take a look for me. How's the feng shui in my house?” “Tea costs two hundred. The truth costs three thousand. Want to change your fate? That'll cost extra.” My name is Lin Jiu. I run a little shop on Old Street that helps people with their troubles. My main business is selling tea; my side business… is handling a few “unclean” problems for people. I was hoping to take it easy, look at pretty women, and count my small change. Then a job involving “a blood relative's soul-binding” came along, and I discovered that someone in this city was planning a century-defining massacre through the Ghost Gate, which opens on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month. And, wouldn't you know it, my little shop sits right on the formation's heart. Well, looks like Master Jiu has no choice but to take charge.
