Synopsis

A strange fog has engulfed the city for three years. Daylight looks like dusk, and the nights are pitch-black. The living dare not venture outside at will. There are things in the fog that devour people and imitate the voices of their loved ones to call them by name. The authorities can do nothing, so all kinds of folk practitioners have emerged: exorcists, feng shui masters, dream interpreters, talisman makers, and funeral specialists who guide souls to the afterlife. The protagonist, Pei Wujiao, is one of the latter. He is taciturn and ruthless, and fiercely protective of those he cares about. Anyone who lays a hand on them risks having their bones broken. In truth, he is more than a funeral specialist: he is also an immensely powerful yin-yang master, with countless secrets of his own.

The heroine, Xie Zhaohua, appears to be a nightclub singer, but she is actually a top-tier powerhouse. Her methods are uncanny, her temper icy, and her pride impossible to miss. The two can’t stand each other, yet are forced to work together as they carve a bloody path through the fog. A deranged, obsessive madman is pulling the strings behind the scenes. He loves to kill with a smile and believes suffering is the most beautiful thing in the world. The entire world is like a vast web, and they are all caught in its schemes. The truth lies beyond ten layers of fog.

Looking for a Supernatural Novel With No Harem or System, and a Decisive Protagonist

I hope the protagonist is loyal and devoted, but not a pushover. They should be decisive and ruthless, and once they fall for someone, stay committed. No harem, please.
