In his third year delivering food on the night shift, Shen Chi received a strange dispatch. The delivery address was Apartment 1304, Building 13, Blue Lake Estate, where an incident had taken place years ago.
Three years earlier, his younger sister Shen Yao had accepted this order for him while he was burning with a fever. After that, she vanished from the world.
Seven ironclad rules for delivery stared him in the face: Don't look back. Don't answer any calls. The recipient must sign in person.
Signing meant entering into a contract; write down your name, and it would be recorded in the ledger of the living.
One bizarre order after another appeared, along with a haunted archive, a Thursday-night meal-deal coupon from a midnight cafeteria, and an old temple's stone altar carved with wishes.
To find his sister, delivery rider Shen Chi enters one rules-based horror scenario after another. He has no special abilities and can only survive by reasoning things through and proceeding with caution.
An ancient wish for the incense fires to burn forever evolved into something sinister that devours people. Three generations of the Shen family each chose a path: to hide, to suppress it, or to tear the records apart.
When the final period is finally placed after the wish, some wounds will never disappear. The scars remain, but ordinary people can still protect the warmth of everyday life and the family they hold dear.
