My name is Lin Yue. I'm a spirit walker, the kind who asks the dead questions on behalf of the living.
I run a secondhand goods shop in the city. My business includes spirit walking, tomb raiding, catching cheaters, coffin repairs, reselling black donkey hooves and black dog blood. I also handle fake certificates: diplomas, sterilization certificates, divorce certificates, and marriage certificates.
I thought my life would go on peacefully like this forever.
Then one day, I stepped on a bronze ring in the underworld.
Things in the underworld can be seen but not touched, yet that ring pressed painfully against my foot. When I woke from my spirit walk, the ring was in the palm of my hand.
That night, my grandpa called and said one sentence before hanging up:
“Your fate was written by someone long before you were born.”
When I called back, the number was out of service.
I hereby solemnly declare that everything in this book, including its spells, formations, and characters, is fictional. Any resemblance is purely coincidental.
