One body, two souls + alternating shifts on a countdown + diary entries sabotaging each other + subtly terrifying Chinese folk customs + one female lead, two powerful protagonists + bizarre thrills
"Chen Lu, in three months, Jiang City will become a dead city. We'll all die."
His deranged childhood friend Su Wenwen was reborn with memories of the apocalypse. She fought with all her might, yet still died horribly before his eyes.
With her dying breath, she pressed a cold ghost jade into his palm.
[Ghost Object Tracing System activated. Forbidden ghost object Yin-Yang Road bound by force.]
[From this moment on, the two of you share a life countdown. Your lives and deaths are intertwined!]
From then on, the world fell apart. Strange entities crept through the shadows, and day and night became two separate worlds.
By day, Chen Lu used [Yang Hours] to withstand attacks and fight strange entities head-on. He opened the diary and left a message: "I'm still alive today. I ate all the lollipops and egg tarts. Spend whatever you want. I'm not as stingy as you are, sis."
At night, Su Wenwen took control of their body, stomped vicious ghosts into the ground, and angrily scribbled in the diary while sucking on a strawberry lollipop: "Chen Lu, you little bastard! Those were my pink pajamas, and you popped two more buttons again?!"
When the Buddha hall donned a robe made of human skin and the dead blew wedding suona horns, the abyss along the Yin-Yang Road tore wide open.
Separated by a daylight and a night that could never meet, they relied on a single diary to snatch each other back from the end of time, in a deadly trap no one could survive!
"We're not saviors. We're just passersby in this body."
"But anyone who crosses the line by even a step, god or vengeful ghost, will die."
[Don't worry that the protagonists aren't strong enough. They're basically a pair of bandits by design. The pacing is pretty fast. If they can't kill someone within two chapters, consider the job a bust.]
