Everyone in the old district laughed at Chen Mo. He ran a shabby paper-offering shop, wasted his twenties on a dead-end business, and couldn’t even afford two thousand yuan in rent.
But no one knew that of the funeral home’s twelve deadly taboos, he could break every one with a single paper lantern. When an eerie calamity swept across the city, one fold of yellow paper was enough to silence every ghost.
While everyone else did whatever they could to evade the rules, he was determined to keep the rules that protected his fellow countrymen firmly in his grasp. He was the seventh-generation night watcher of the Chen family and the sole inheritor of The Secret Manual of Yin Bureau Paper Offerings. One sheet of yellow paper could ferry ten thousand souls; a single yuan could determine the balance between yin and yang.
From the old streets of Jiangcheng to the rainforests of Southeast Asia, from the East Sea boundary gate to Chinatowns around the world, wherever there were Chinese people, his paper lanterns would light the way. And every soul longing to return home would find his paper boat waiting to carry it across.
