My name is Yang Wuchen. I was born on August 28, 1998, under an all-yang birth chart, and I work as a maintenance electrician at Jinyuan Residential Complex in Jiangcheng, southern Zhejiang. To the residents, I’m the steady-handed, soft-spoken “electrical doctor.” No matter how tricky the problem, from lights that flicker in the middle of the night and breakers that trip for no reason to meters that spin wildly and wiring faults no one can locate, I can fix it in half an hour. No one knows these aren’t ordinary electrical problems.
An overseas property left vacant for eight years is haunted by an old person’s lingering attachment to children who never came home. The shadow in the underground parking garage is a water demon carried in by the rising tide of the Yongning River. The string of malfunctions in a factory workshop comes from the resentment of workers who died sudden deaths, clinging to the wiring. I use a ritual-forged voltage tester to detect spirits, draw warding talismans with single-strand copper wire, and set up a demon-subduing array in the residential complex’s electrical room. I hide the family’s Zhengyi Taoist arts in the everyday tasks of tightening screws and connecting wires. All I wanted was a steady living from my 3,800-yuan base salary, relying on my skills to get by in peace. But because of my all-yang birth chart, I was gradually drawn into an ancient formation passed down since the Jin Dynasty.
From residential electrician to guardian of the entire city of Jiangcheng, I wield my voltage tester and rely on my pure yang energy to suppress evil spirits, guide the dead to rest, and break sinister schemes. What I guard has never been just a few wires, but the lights in every home across the mortal world, and Jiangcheng’s peace for generations to come.
