Synopsis

Sequel to I Guide Souls at Wangxiang Terrace

Lin Jiaojiao, 24, an overworked office worker, suddenly dies on the Nth night in a row of staying up all night revising proposals.

When she opens her eyes again, she has already completed every step of the underworld’s procedures. But just as she reaches Wangxiang Terrace, the guide Zhou Yi stops her. “Your attachment remains unresolved. You can’t be reincarnated.”

Judge Li Muzi offers her a way forward: work as a soul reaper under him, and she can be reborn after collecting a hundred souls.

“Easy. It’s just running errands,” Li Muzi says with a smile like Maitreya Buddha’s.

Lin Jiaojiao believes him.

Her first assignment: Chen Xiaoyan, twenty-eight, drowned. She has been wandering the living world for half a month, and three soul reapers before Lin Jiaojiao have all failed. Lin Jiaojiao steels herself and takes the job, nearly getting dragged into the river as a replacement sacrifice. At last, they strike a deal: Lin Jiaojiao has three days to help her find her daughter, Xiaoyu.

But Xiaoyu died three years ago. Her ghost is sealed inside Room 802 by a yellow talisman and can’t get out. And Chen Xiaoyan can’t take a single step outside that room.

A mother who can’t leave the building, and a daughter who can’t leave her room. A talisman pasted above the door, and a man in black standing outside it.

Lin Jiaojiao has only three days.

Collect a hundred souls and get reincarnated? Li Muzi never mentioned that the job would involve solving cases, too.

Told in episodic chapters, this is the story of an overworked office worker turned female spirit officer, who catches ghosts and vents her frustrations in both the living world and the underworld. There’s comedy, horror, warmth, and twists. Behind every soul lies an attachment it can’t let go of.

After all, the deepest attachments of the dead are often tied to the living.
