The Fate Reader with Ghost Eyes

Chen Du sets up a fortune-telling stall at the entrance to an alley in the old city.

The neighbors know only that his predictions are accurate. They have no idea that he isn’t really telling people’s fortunes.

A thirteenth stop appears on the midnight bus.

Another self steps out of the mirror.

A family curse claims one life every twenty years.

A time loop repeats the same day over and over...

When the supernatural becomes an urban legend, he is the only one who can “communicate” with it.

His naturally uncanny eyes let him see rules and fates hidden from ordinary people.

His inherited divination skills allow him to read the fate of vengeful ghosts and negotiate deals with the strange beings of urban legends.

“You want release? Fine, but there will be a price.”

“You want revenge? That can be arranged, but you must honor the contract.”

“You want to exist? Then let’s discuss the terms.”

Chen Du walks the boundary between yin and yang, staking his lifespan, memories, and senses to resolve one uncanny incident after another.

Until he discovers that his family’s secret is far more terrifying than he ever imagined:

The Great Haunting sealed away by his ancestors is about to awaken, and he is the final key.

When the reflections of the entire city begin to writhe,

when the world inside the mirrors starts seeping into reality,

when the day comes to settle every contract,

Chen Du lights three sticks of incense and shakes a bloodstained copper coin. Facing the malicious face in the mirror, identical to his own, he says softly:

“Come, let me read your final fortune.”

“I’ll tell you when your soul will be annihilated, and how I will... defy fate and change my destiny.”
