[Light horror + mystery + two powerful leads + devoted heroine and beloved hero + secret identities]
They say Pei Jingshen, the capital’s top forensic pathologist, has an extremely yin fate and won’t live past twenty-five. The Pei family is willing to spend billions, all to find a powerful expert who can ward off evil and prolong his life.
The one who takes the job is Jiang Li.
The world’s last “Soul Stitcher,” a cold-blooded reaper whose silver needles decide life and death and whose name strikes terror into the evil spirits of all three realms.
But when it comes to love, she’s a sweetly clueless woman who knows only how to protect her husband with straightforward devotion.
Married life:
Jiang Li hands him a black card, expressionless. “Take it. If you run into a ghost, tell it my name. I’ll protect you.”
Pei Jingshen adjusts his gold-rimmed glasses, looking meek and delicate. “Thank you, honey. You’re amazing.”
Everyone mocks Jiang Li for marrying a sickly man with a short life ahead of him, saying she’ll be left a widow.
Then one day, Jiang Li opens the door to the police station morgue and sees her supposedly “frail and helpless” husband, scalpel in hand, grinning like a deranged genius as he corners a thousand-year-old vengeful ghost.
“Honey, this ghost’s bone structure is incredibly valuable for research.”
Jiang Li: ? What happened to my weak, delicate little husband?
