Mystery + supernatural + sweet romance + folk customs
Chen Chang'an, 28, a restorer of ancient books at the provincial library.
On the surface: easygoing, quick with a joke, and content to laze away his days.
In reality: the 47th-generation heir to the Yin-Yang Scribe, with a mysterious lineage and a duty to protect order between the worlds of Yin and Yang.
Su Qingning, 26, a reporter for the city newspaper.
On the surface: rational, composed, and a workaholic.
In reality: born with Yin-Yang Eyes, she can see things ordinary people cannot. Her master says she is "blessed with extraordinary talent."
During an investigation in western Hunan, she stumbled into a corpse-driving ritual and met Chen Chang'an.
From then on, her world changed completely...
Corpse-driving in western Hunan, ghost brides in ghost marriages, water ghosts claiming lives, fox spirits repaying kindness, spirit-walking in Sichuan, the risen dead in Shaanxi, witchcraft in Yunnan...
Twelve supernatural cases, twelve kinds of folk taboos.
When reason clashes with the occult, and science encounters ghosts and gods...
He uses his expertise to dispel superstition, while she records the truth with her pen.
"Forget it. I'm not doing that."
"Chen Chang'an, are you going to help or not?"
"Fine, fine. What can I do? You're my... partner."
From doubt to trust, from partners to lovers.
With sincere hearts, they protect the peace of their community and preserve folk wisdom through their records.
