In the modern urban context, there is a "dark side world" invisible to ordinary people. Humans have three souls and seven souls. The seven days after death are the "first seven", the forty-nine days are the "bardo period", those who have not entered reincarnation for three years are called "wandering souls", and those who have not entered reincarnation for more than a hundred years are called "li". The protagonist Chen Jiuye (Chen Mo) appears to be an unemployed vagrant renting a house in a village in the city, but in fact he is a ferryman who has inherited his ancestral identity as a "yin shepherd" - responsible for mediating disputes between yin and yang and sending the souls stranded in the earth to reincarnation.
My name is Chen Mo, I am in my early thirties, unemployed, and renting in a village in the city.
He hides his identity as a ghost man - specializing in things that cannot be explained by science and helping the dead souls stranded in the world enter reincarnation. Every time one is given away, his life span will be shortened by three days.
After working in this business for a long time, I have seen all kinds of weird things: women crawling out of the mirror, empty seats on the last bus that are always full, dead people with selfies on their phones, late singers who request songs in the middle of the night...
But I didn't expect that my mother's mysterious disappearance three years ago after taking the last order would involve me in a situation that would last for hundreds of years.
Some people want to break the balance of yin and yang and use living people to refine medicine to seek immortality.
In the process of tracing the truth, the tenant next door, Alian, accidentally opened her vaginal eyes. Police station boss Zhou was forced to go down this road by the death of his ex-wife. Mr. Liu, an antique shop, was both good and evil...
The case of the female corpse at the Red Iron Gate is just the beginning.
When I discovered that the ring my mother had worn for decades was on the hand of the mastermind behind the scenes, he smiled and said to me:
"Your mother is still alive. If you want to see her, come to me."
But the last page of my mother's diary says:
"If a man comes to you wearing my ring - remember, he is not a human being."
