My Ancient Jade Was Worth 80 Million, But It Turned Out to Be Fake!

“I refuse to accept this.”

Those were the first words Lin Mo said to fate.

He is the 128th-generation descendant of the Great Xia Guardians of the Boundary. The family heirloom, the Heaven-Defying Pearl, only devours vengeful spirits and brings him bad luck in his hands. To pay off his debts, he has worked as a cemetery security guard and delivered takeout to ghosts. A hungry ghost chased him, and an expert publicly humiliated him, calling the pearl a “craft item.”

Then there was the girl named Xiaoyou, the shy young nurse who called him “Big Brother Lin.” To save him, she burned away her entire “existence,” leaving behind only a silver thread of causality.

Then he discovered that the causality tied to his right hand was gradually disappearing.

On the summit of Kunlun Mountain, a shadow that had been corroded by the abyss for three hundred years, wearing a white mask, held out a sword to him.

“Kill me. Set me free from causality.”

The sword was named Calamity's Embers, meaning “after destruction, the embers still remain.”

This sword is called Kindling.
