Underworld Messenger: The Paper Impermanence

No female lead, no System, a pure Republican-era supernatural mystery novel! In the thirteenth year of the Republic, in Weishui City. The Ghost Mother sent her eight-year-old son, Lin Bei, to apprentice at a gloomy paper effigy shop. The shopkeeper, Third Master Chen, had catlike eyes and was known as the “Paper King of Hell.” He could craft “living paper effigies,” travel the yin roads, and communicate with ghosts and spirits. Lin Bei became Third Master Chen’s apprentice and took the name “Paper Impermanence.” From then on, he embarked on a path as a yin-world bailiff. A child with a rat’s head knocking at the door in the dead of night, a corpse buried beneath a jujube tree, a man’s voice coming from a widow’s room… Behind each bizarre case, is the human heart more poisonous than a ghost, or have the worlds of yin and yang always been impossible to tell apart?
