Collection of Strange Stories from the Yellow River

"Collection of Mysteries of the Yellow River: Archives of Folk Supernaturals in Hebei, Shandong and Henan" is a long suspense novel that combines folklore and weirdness with the structure of a unit drama. The story revolves around the old path of the Yellow River at the junction of the three provinces of Hebei, Shandong and Henan. The protagonist Zhao Jiuhe, as the fourth generation "Yin Master" of the Zhao family, inherits the ancestral "Yin Contract Record" and the Yin and Yang Eyes, and shoulders the mission of resolving the "Yin Contract" disputes between humans and non-human beings. The book starts with the Ghost Coffin Incident in the Yellow River, and connects the main line through nine independent unit stories: from fishing corpses in the Yellow River, fox fairies worshiping the moon, to Huang Pizi seeking a seal, and shadow puppets playing ghosts. Each unit deeply integrates the folklore of Hebei, Shandong and Henan, showing the unique mystery of the region. The protagonist team consists of Liu Sanniang, the lazy and venomous proprietress of Liu Xian, and Qian Chuanzi, a rational and cautious village doctor. They deal with Chen Banxian, the villain who covets "Yin Qi Lu". The story advances the suspense of the main line in the tight rhythm of the unit drama. It not only presents the hard-core folk details of folk methods to exorcise evil spirits, but also explores the boundaries between humans and non-humans, the themes of protection and inheritance, and adapts to the needs of free reading ecology and short drama adaptation.
