Fang Lin, orphaned young and living alone, had barely graduated when he lost his job and fell behind on rent. For 300 yuan a month, he moved into a century-old house at the end of Qinghuai Lane in Jiangcheng. Before moving in, he received just one cryptic rule: after eleven at night, don't touch the mirror in the second-floor bathroom.
The sound of someone wiping the mirror at midnight, a reflection that moves half a beat too late, an unsolved injustice buried in the Republican era: these are only the beginning of a long, strange tale. This ancient bronze mirror is one of the twelve ancient Yin-Sealing Mirrors. Behind it lies a rift between the realms of the living and the dead, concealing secrets that span a thousand years.
