Synopsis

This book opens with an intense sense of crisis and dread.

[Not mindless + dark and oppressive themes + a somewhat slow start + not mindless power fantasy + no invincible protagonist + an ensemble cast + intense conflict] (Also known as Can I Be Human Again in This Life? I’m not even sure whether the protagonist is human at the beginning. That depends on how you look at it.)

My soul inhabits a corpse, and I awaken in the Yin Realm.

The original owner was ambushed on his wedding day, and died with his soul extinguished.

As a soul from Earth, I am trapped inside a withered body without blood or warmth.

This place teems with strange beasts, surrounded by both demonic cultivators and orthodox sects, while resentful ghosts are everywhere.

The orthodox sects see my corpse and want to destroy it; demonic cultivators regard me as a supplement and seek to seize my spiritual essence.

Deep in the miasma, eerie operatic singing rings out, and strange demonic faces float in the black fog.

A scarlet orb in my chest churns restlessly. Danger lurks in every direction, and at every moment I struggle on the brink of mutation and regression.

I must find my scattered companions and uncover the truth behind the plot against me.

Is there any place in this world where I can belong?

Am I human, or a monster?

No saintly do-gooders, no System, and no moral boundaries. The protagonist should be willing to kill people who have nothing to do with them for their own benefit.

New Writers, Come On In

It's so upsetting to keep seeing the stats barely change. The reader count doesn't go up at all, and there isn't a single comment. Hardly anyone reads the whole book, and by the last chapter, almost no one is still reading. New authors, let's support one another.
