Xing Zha’s Sixth Book

Lu Chen transmigrated and became a low-ranking copyist at the Qingwu County office in the Great Yao Dynasty.

His monthly pay was one tael and two mace. A typo meant a deduction, being late meant a deduction, and even damaging the ink or brushes meant a deduction.

He had planned to lie flat and coast through life, until the mortuary brought in a faceless corpse that could speak and ask, "What is my name?"

At death's door, Lu Chen made up a story about the ghost's origins, calling it a "Roll-Call Ghost," then fabricated a weakness: if its name was called wrong three times, its ghostly energy would fall into disarray.

And the ghost believed him.
