After Joining the Folk Customs Bureau, I Run Into Ghosts Every Day

[Urban Supernatural] [Smart Protagonist]

The Folk Customs Bureau is hiring. Three requirements: be willing to walk at night, have a hardy constitution, and be able to see ghosts.

Wu Sheng meets all three.

On his first day at work, the captain says the job isn't dangerous. That very night, Wu Sheng pulls two living people out of a fourth-floor wardrobe, then walks downstairs beneath the gaze of a wall covered in memorial portraits.

That same day, the ghost of fate in his chest speaks for the first time.

It says, "Hungry."

The more vicious the ghosts he encounters, the livelier it becomes.

The day the wall between yin and yang collapses, the whole city is crawling with ghosts. Everyone else runs for their lives; he heads out to work.

Wu Sheng was born with few family ties, followed everywhere by three ill omens: the Bringer of Mourning, the Hemp-Clad Mourner, and the Hanging Guest.

Everyone says he is steeped in bad luck, and that anyone close to him will meet with disaster.

Beneath the vast blue sky and solid earth, he struggles to find the answer that belongs to him.
