The Incense Shop Heir's Soul-Guiding Road

Lin Xiaoxi, heir to an incense shop in an old alley, breaks her grandmother's rules for lighting incense and becomes a substitute for a vengeful spirit who died unjustly. From then on, she carries soul-guiding incense and a peachwood sword, following a mysterious little boy named A Nian as she ventures into mass graves, battles spirit-raisers, and unravels sinister feng shui plots. She uses incense to guide the way and blood as her pact, guarding the old alley, suppressing evil, and leading lonely spirits back to the right path. Folk horrors keep coming, with one twist after another. The girl who once merely tended the shop grows into a true guardian who lights incense and guides the way: using incense to ask the path, and her heart to protect the human world.
