Synopsis

[Folklore and the Supernatural]+ [Red-and-White Case Files]+ [The Five Elements in Harmony] [Five Signs]: Metal (Wen), Wood (Ruan), Water (Xin), Fire (Bai), Earth (Su) A red wedding sedan collided with a white coffin, turning a joyous occasion into a funeral. The Du'e Hall, a grassroots outfit that took money to handle weddings and funerals, was framed overnight and ruined by scandal. Members Xin You and Su Chenyuan were ordered to investigate. Along the way, they were forced into a team with: A wild girl who could read everyone else's heart but couldn't fathom her own fate. A boy of few words, nearly mute, whose hand was the most ruthless of all. A beautiful, venomous woman skilled in poisons, who treated everyone with a touch of coldness. A rich young master bent on roaming the martial world, who couldn't even find his way around. An aloof big shot trapped in someone else's body, who found everyone irritating. Suspicion, probing. Each with their own designs, each concealing a trump card. Eastern Mourning, Western Plague, Northern Slaughter, Southern Ruins, Central Netherworld. A deadly trap, a feud of life and death, a redemption ordained by fate. … “If Heaven wants to take me, then let it.” “Why should I beg anyone?” … “In this world, even Heaven can't stand to watch anymore.” “Everyone wears a human face while committing the deeds of demons. They're more contemptible than true villains.” … “If one day you change your mind,” “then head northwest and seek the Shangqing Temple on Cangshan Mountain.” … “The entire Witchfolk homeland has been wiped out, and their ancestral lands burned into a graveyard. How can you take charge of the witches?” “Someone has to live on and claim the lives of those people.” … “Don't forget,” “His Majesty personally issued the edict,” “the Ning family rules, and your Ruan family will be slaves for all eternity.” … “This young master is Bai Yunsheng! My father chose the name himself!” “How does that line of poetry go again?” “‘Far up the cold mountain, a stone path winds askew; where white clouds rise, a home comes into view!’” “It sounds so celestial, so learned!”

Looking for Ensemble Casts, Not One Woman with a Harem of Men. I Want a Cast with Multiple Women and Men.

X can equal Y, anything goes. Just don't make the protagonist in an ensemble cast a male-female lead duo plus their little entourage, and don't make it a male or female lead plus their entourage. The writing should be decent.

Looking for High-Quality Ensemble Stories!!!

Looking for books like Everyone on the Team Is a Villain Except Me (Reverence for the Gods) and My Unhinged Junior Uncle Is Deficient in Virtue. I’ve been loving ensemble-cast stories lately! Please recommend some, experts 🥺

Looking for Ensemble-Cast Stories Where the Leads and Supporting Characters Share the Spotlight

I really need recommendations. I’ve hit a terrible reading slump lately. Everything people recommend is either about being doted on by everyone or has an absurdly overpowered protagonist. Please suggest some ensemble-cast stories where the protagonist isn’t exceptionally impressive. Any romance setup or no romance is fine, but no transmigrating into a book, and no transmigration. Please recommend some!

Looking for Ensemble Cast or Team Stories, with Fully Realized Characters, Not Disposable Pawns

I have a soft spot for supporting characters. They shine just as brightly as the protagonists. Full of life, with winding stories of their own, they live as the main characters of their own destinies, not as footnotes in someone else's. I'll always cheer for ensemble casts.
