    The rainy season in Nakhon Si Thames always arrives without warning, like a premeditated flood. The air was thick with the smell of rotting jasmine and the stench of sewage rising from the drains, so sticky it felt like you could wring water out of it. I stood before the weathered iron gate of "White Egret Garden," dragging my suitcase with its broken wheels. My phone screen displayed a glaringly low balance: 342.5 Baht. This wasn't even enough to pay for tonight's hotel room, let alone next month's rent. Graduation equals unemployment—this phrase felt like a curse, falling squarely on my head. My family had incurred a lot of debt for this damned diploma. They had hoped I could become the canary that flew out of the slums, but before they even found the cage, my wings had been broken. "Miss Lin Wan, is that right?" A hoarse voice came from behind me. I turned sharply and saw an old gardener in a gray uniform pruning the bushes with shears. His face was hidden beneath a large straw hat, revealing only his gaunt chin and a pair of cloudy eyes. The scissors in his hands snipped, and the white sap from the cut branches oozed out, staining his gloves green like blood.

    Reader note

    I highly recommend this. It's a traditional supernatural novel. The protagonist's master is a purple-robed celestial master. He descends the mountain to join the 749 police force, handling supernatural cases in a city, including evil spirits, mountain spirits, monsters, and zombies. The zombies' strength is determined by eye color: red, green, yellow, blue, white, and black. The protagonist also develops purple eyes later on. It's very much to my liking.
