Synopsis

Before he died, Grandpa told me something strange: “Whatever's in the river, never fish it out.”

I didn't listen.

The next day, I fished a corpse out of the Yellow River. It smiled at me.

Only then did I learn that the Shen family had been retrieving bodies for generations, not to recover the dead, but to guard something far more terrifying in the Yellow River. The River Crossing Register listed every rule the Shen family had to follow, but the more I read, the less sense they made: Why had no River Crosser in any generation lived past forty? Why was the dragon beneath the Yellow River waiting for me to “ferry” it across?

Three families' lies spanning eight hundred years, a dragon that refuses to die and longs to return to the abyss, and the heart of the Yellow River demanding a Shen family member to devour every year...

Fine. Then I'll change all the rules.

Mystery and Supernatural Stories

Looking for something similar to The Midnight Pawnshop: The Living Must Keep Their Distance. Please, I need a gripping supernatural mystery! No saintly protagonists: they should punish evildoers in their own way, help good people, and tell bad people to get lost. Daoist stories are welcome, including female Daoists. Episodic stories are fine too.
