The Keeper of the Pure House

My name is Lin Shen. I specialize in clearing out the old homes of the dead.

Empty houses where people have died, old homes harboring evil spirits, doors locked against forbidden things: others avoid them at all costs, but I have to go in.

Ghosts combing their hair at midnight, paper demons nurtured by stove fires, faceless shadows in the hallway, secrets locked away for twenty years...

I've seen plenty.

People fear ghosts, but the more I do this, the clearer it becomes:

Ghosts aren't scary. The human heart is poisonous.

Debts can't be evaded, and grievances can't be hidden.

With an old lantern at my side, I keep to the shadows by day and come out at night, entering haunted houses and unraveling sinister mysteries.

I clear out old homes, help people let go of their obsessions, and settle the debts the living dare not admit to.

One haunted house after another, one story from the past after another.

The path I walk has long straddled the boundary between yin and yang. Once I step across, there's no turning back.
