The Great Shun dynasty had enjoyed three hundred years of peace. By day, people walked the streets; by night, ghosts roamed.
Three night watchmen in the capital, Zhao, Li, and Lei, carried clappers and lanterns as they patrolled the long streets. They guarded the warmth of everyday life and faced the eerie things lurking between yin and yang.
When the third watch’s clappers sounded, demons and specters came out.
Vengeful spirits wept within palace walls, evil forces stirred in old mansions, fox demons bewitched hearts, river gods demanded brides, dragon veins stirred with murderous intent, and immortals and demons descended upon the mortal world.
The feng shui of yin and yang dwellings could claim lives; emperors and ministers concealed their darkest secrets. Humans, ghosts, demons, and immortals shared the stage, while good and evil could be overturned in a single thought.
A man and a woman wield a measuring rule to set the balance between yin and yang; six men and six women stand shoulder to shoulder as they venture into the underworld.
The lives of 108 surnames, and 416 chapters of strange tales.
In the guise of night watchmen, they perform the work of celestial masters, traversing the mountains and rivers of Great Shun to uncover one bizarre midnight mystery after another.
When the morning rooster cries, evil spirits return to the dust. Only the steady beat of the watchman’s drum remains, carrying strange tales down through the ages.
I found a very nice treasure novel! The author's narrative rhythm is very comfortable, there is no unnecessary plot filling, and every chapter has something to watch. The characters are very three-dimensional. Neither the protagonist nor the supporting characters are tools. They act logically and will not forcefully create bloody conflicts. The foreshadowing is laid out carefully, and it is recycled one by one in the later stage. The twists are unexpected and reasonable. The more you follow it, the more addictive it becomes. It is updated on time every day. Book friends who have not read it must read it!
