My name is Bei Qing. I was born on the Ghost Festival and came into the world with a yin constitution. Since childhood, I was left at Bailong Temple, where I became a fortune-teller who specialized in rattling people.
I had planned to coast through life, but after waking from a nap, I found myself the chosen guide of a formation, with both Buddhist and Daoist powers.
The Faceless Spirit Venerable turns around just for me, and an ancient well has my past-life true body locked away inside.
The aloof Daoist priest, the compassionate monk, and my tough-as-nails grandma are all hiding a shocking secret from me.
The Yin Lord sends ghost soldiers to scare me every day. The horror is real, but so is the ridiculousness.
Until it crawls into my brain and laughs sinisterly:
"The one locked beneath the ancient well isn't me. It's your origin."
Only then do I understand: the day I was born was the day the formation's core awakened.
From then on, I hunt ghosts amid laughter, explain Daoist lore, and uncover my paranormal destiny.
Born on the Ghost Festival, claimed by a spirit venerable, with a soul hidden in an ancient well, this story is both terrifying and hilarious from start to finish.
I, Bei Qing, have spent twenty years professionally rattling people. This time, to stay alive, I absolutely will not crack!
