The Underworld has shattered, reincarnation has been abandoned, and countless ghosts have descended upon the human world!
Yin energy leaks out, malevolent spirits run rampant, and supernatural rule-based tales infest the cities. Ordinary people become food for yin creatures overnight!
Lin Yan, an ordinary young man, inherits his grandfather’s shop of yin-yang goods and unexpectedly awakens an Underworld fate, becoming the last ghost registrar in the Underworld!
With a Judge’s Brush in one hand and a Record of Yin Spirits in the other, he writes a ghost’s true name to bind its soul and records its cause of death to subdue vengeful spirits. One stroke can slay ten thousand evils; one book can determine the balance between yin and yang!
The hanged ghost of a small town, the paper effigy granny of an old street, a formation of water ghosts in a reservoir, evil spirits demanding lives in ghost marriages…
Starting from the bottom, he solves supernatural cases, slays vengeful ghosts, and rights old wrongs, crushing every evil spirit in his path!
He joins the Underworld Bureau, guards the metropolis, and travels across all nine regions of China!
The spirit mediums of the Northeast, the Miaojiang witchcraft of the Southwest, ancient corpses of the Northwest, and the deadly ancient tombs of the Central Plains all submit to his brush!
He enters the ruined Underworld, reclaims the Yellow Springs, the Wangchuan River, and the City of the Wrongly Dead, awakens the remnants of the Black and White Impermanence and the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and rebuilds the army of underworld officials!
The underworlds of countless realms fall into chaos, evil spirits from beyond invade, and an ancient plot to destroy the world comes to light!
Using written records as his foundation and ten thousand souls as his army, Lin Yan gathers ghosts and establishes a city of the dead, rising step by step to the summit of the underworld!
He suppresses the Ghost Emperor, sweeps away evil spirits, and reforges the Six Paths of Reincarnation!
From a minor ghost official in a small town to the Underworld’s Heavenly Emperor, who commands yin and yang and rules over ten thousand ghosts!
In this life, he wields his brush to decide life and death, records every yin spirit under heaven, sends the ghosts back to their graves, and restores order between yin and yang!
