He Xiaoman is twenty-five years old and has been a corpse sitter for eight years.
In some funerals, the dead person cannot attend the last meal, so the living person sits in his place, receives the courtesy, eats the meal, and then gets up and leaves.
This line of work is called corpse-sitting, and the most taboo thing is - joining the banquet.
Until that night in Kunming, He Xiaoman sat at the same table for three women.
The three people were strangers to each other. They were thousands of miles apart during their lives, but they died on the same day eleven years ago.
What's even more sinister is——
Three posthumous photos with the same face.
After that meeting, He Xiaoman began to remember other people's past, and old wounds appeared on his body that were not his own. Then, a fourth identical face appeared.
This time, she's still alive.
After following these four faces, He Xiaoman realized that the death seat he had been sitting on for eight years was only the shallowest level of the "borrowed seat".
She can sit on the seat of the dead, and she can also sit on the seat of ghosts.
If the mountain spirit has a seat, she dares to borrow it; if the god has a seat, she still dares to sit on it.
Take a seat and borrow a right. The higher the seat, the greater the borrowed power.
And Cheng Jianchuan finally discovered that the rules passed down by the Cheng family for generations were never ancestral superstitions.
He Xiaoman borrowed his seat and Cheng Jianchuan set the boundary.
If she dares to borrow the power of ghosts and gods, he dares to hold the line for her that even ghosts and gods cannot cross.
From the deathbed in Kunming all the way to western Yunnan, and then to the Zongliyuan where Xuanmen has been governed for thousands of years, they discovered——
The human world is never the whole world.
Ghosts, spirits, and gods in ancient books, rituals, and legends have never disappeared.
And the so-called Jedi Heavenly Power actually separates far more than they imagined.
