Everyone laughed at the eldest daughter of the Minister's mansion, calling her a charlatan. Until the palace banquet, a hundred ghosts roamed the night, red lanterns turned to blood. Everyone saw a woman holding a bone flute, cinnabar as a blade, sealing souls with a single flute. From then on, the name Jiang Dusheng resounded throughout Changling City. That day, her younger sister rushed over with red eyes: "Sister, I…" Jiang Dusheng glanced at her indifferently: "I save the living, the dead, the afflicted, the souls, and all living beings, but I don't save brainless idiots." She prided herself on being able to predict the heavens and the earth, but she hadn't foreseen that jinx. She originally wanted to borrow his pure yang jinx to prolong her life. On the night of their triumph, she packed her small bundle, ready to flee, but he trapped her before the cinnabar altar, his eyes filled with madness and obsession: "Jiang Dusheng, you save all living beings, can you—save me too?" "I came from the ashes, I do not seek Buddhahood, I only ask you to save me for the rest of my life." Later, when his robes were stained with blood, he whispered a desperate murmur in her ear: "Jiang Dusheng, you have calculated all the secrets of heaven, did you ever foresee that I would be your tribulation of love?" "If I cannot occupy a place in your heart, I am willing... To be a ghost for eternity, sealed by you."

   The author, a scholar of religious history, meticulously adheres to historical records such as the *History of Ming* and the *Veritable Records of the Ming Taizu*, and verifies Daoist classics like the *Daozang*, *Longhushan Zhi*, and *Maoshan Zhi*, as well as local gazetteers. The content is highly rigorous, beginning the story in the 22nd year of the Hongwu reign (1380) and connecting to many real historical events, such as the murder of Prince Lu, the self-immolation of Prince Tan, Lan Yu's conquest of the local chieftains, the rebellion of Li Shanchang, and Prince Yan's northern expedition.
