Synopsis

In the countryside, spiritual qi has only just revived. This is not Spiritual Qi Revival in the traditional sense: it is not that all humanity has awakened supernatural powers. Instead, “yin energy awakened first.” The yin veins deep beneath the earth were the first to stir, and zombies buried for hundreds of years sensed the spiritual qi before the living did. The strength of ghosts and monsters surged overnight, while human Daoists and spirit mediums had yet to catch up. Ancient lineages like the Lin family became the only defense capable of holding the line in the early stages of the revival.

The countryside is the perfect stage for this story. The old graveyard west of the city, the dry well in Liuhe Village, the funeral home, the mass graves, Nishang Terrace, and the old mill: these places have borne witness to centuries of death and accumulated resentment. The spiritual qi revival awakened all these dormant things overnight. The Lin family compound, where Lin Dadan lives, is one of the few fortresses in the countryside that still has its lights on. Its jujube-wood gate bears images of Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, three umbrellas hang from the main room's rafters, and Grandma keeps realgar and cinnabar by the stove.

A Comedy Disguised as a Horror Story

I can't remember the male or female lead's names. The cannon-fodder character is a woman named Jia Youshan. The man might be called something like Liangxin. There's a cute female supporting character whose name has something like Shuangshuang in it. They go through lots of different settings: the Cat-Faced Granny, the Saw Killer, the Old Corpse in the Mountain Village, Sadako, Silent Hill, and so on.
