Zhang Yu, 26 years old, is a night shift makeup artist at a funeral home. He held this job for three years.
He can see things that others cannot. The translucent figure floated silently. When my mother was alive, she said it was the wind. He believed this statement for more than 20 years, until a black handprint oozed out from the chest of the 28-year-old body, and until the jade pendant he had worn since childhood suddenly became hot.
Only after that did he know that his mother had not died in the fire. His mother had carried the backlash of the seal for him for fourteen years. Further forward, there is aunt Zhang Huitang. In 1998, his aunt signed a yin deed and left the deed to his mother, who then passed it on to him.
Now the cracks on the jade pendant are about to burst through. If he goes deeper, the seal will be gone, and his aunt's soul will return to the underworld, never to be reincarnated, and the backlash will fall back on him. If he signs the contract, he can save his aunt, but he will follow his aunt's old path and pass the disaster on to the next one. If he didn't sign, his aunt would be dead and he wouldn't live long.
A place called "Secretary of Peace" came to his door and said that they would teach him how to recognize the Yin contract and find out the truth about his aunt. But Zhang Yu soon discovered that they were also covering up murders, misleading criminal investigators, and arranging scapegoats. Lao Zhou said that the Department of Tranquility is not a justice agency, but a stability maintenance agency.
He didn't know who to trust. All he knew was that Jade Perry had been waiting for him to speak.
