   To put it simply, this book is not filler or drawn-out; it's an adaptation of folk tales, with each event intricately linked to the next. The main character lives up to the title, and all the characters are intelligent. It's terrifying, funny, and mind-bending—not your average story. A dark horse.

   Choice is more important than effort. If making money from the living is hard, then switch tracks and make money from the dead. @DouchengBaye. In recent years, with the economic downturn, anyone with a bit of ambition is already in debt. It's true that the harder you work, the poorer you become... I'm currently in this awkward situation. They say that for a man without money, even breathing is wrong. I didn't think so before, but now I truly understand. Of course, you can't blame women for being materialistic. After all, anyone would run away from a man like me, unemployed and drowning in debt. "I don't blame you..." I said to Wang Yao, "It's just that I'm not good at making money now!" "Three years of high school, four years of university, eight years of marriage..." She frowned, "Actually, you haven't lost out, you've already gained a lot!" "Gained? I never expected... You would treat our love like a business transaction!" "It may sound harsh, but at least I've saved you a lot of overnight fees..." "Overnight fees?!" "Don't you pay when you eat at restaurants?" Actually, Wang Yao's family wasn't well-off, much worse off than mine, so from high school to university, I would give her half of my living expenses. She finally graduated from university, but her major wasn't easy to find a job in, and she barely managed to find one, but the salary was very low. With little income to begin with, she still indulged in revenge spending; I've lost count of how many times I've paid off her credit card bills. Looking back now, in these fifteen years with her, I've indeed spent a lot of money. They say couples are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately. Now she's turning around and accusing me of freeloading. Isn't that awful? I don't care how much money I spend on her; after all, we have genuine feelings for each other. As a man who values ​​relationships, I don't care what she thinks. For the past fifteen years, I've had a clear conscience. "What you're saying hurts me... It's like I haven't spent any money on you..." "Okay, even if you have..." "What do you mean, 'even if I have spent money'!" I interrupted her. "I have spent money, and a lot of it!" "Okay, I admit you loved me very much before, and you did spend a lot of money on me..." She nodded in agreement, then glanced at the man standing next to her. "But you've never made me feel good!" She suddenly said. "Good?!" "I'm too embarrassed to say, but you just can't!" I saw the man next to her secretly laughing, and I guessed what she meant. "You mean that, right?" I said to her. "What else did you think?" "Hearing you say that makes me want to slap you. Doesn't your conscience hurt when you lie?" I couldn't help but sneer. "I won't go into details about how fierce I am, you know perfectly well enough!" "No comparison, no harm!" She glanced at the man next to her. "Anyway, I haven't been with any other men..." "Aren't you ashamed of lying now? Don't think I don't know..." I was about to say something when she interrupted, "Your image..." "My image?" I touched my face. "You like the way I look with a beard, right? You even said it's sexy! Besides, even if I don't shave, as long as you're not blind..." "You're saying I'm blind?" "Anyway, your taste has dropped so low!" "I admit you're taller and more handsome than him!" "At least you said something sensible! You know I'm way more handsome than that loser!" "But so what? Being handsome doesn't put food on the table!" "Once a man runs out of money, all his so-called advantages become disadvantages…" I couldn't help but sigh a few times. "So you're determined to go with him today, right?" "You know me, I want to eat well and dress well…" she said seriously. "Look at you now, you can't even pull out five yuan from your pocket, you definitely can't afford to support me…" "I'm hiding in the car, holding a champagne glass…" I didn't even know what I was humming. "You must think it's a mouse!" "A mouse?!" The man suddenly said. "So every time we…" "That's right, I'm hiding under the bed!" "No wonder this room felt creepy… so you were secretly crying!" "They say men don't cry easily, do you think I'm crying because I'm jealous of you?" I rolled my eyes at him. "You're overthinking it. To be honest, with your skills…" "Dude, I…" the man tried to explain, but Wang Yao quickly stepped forward to explain, "If he really can't handle it, then we can be sisters…" "Sister... Sister?!" Hearing her astonishing remark, I almost spat out my lunch. They say men hate it when others say they're inadequate, especially when it's the woman beside them. I wonder what the man standing next to her is thinking. "You can tolerate this?" I said to the man with a hint of malice. "I..." The man didn't know what to say, while Wang Yao seemed unusually excited. "You're already in your fifties!" She stared at me, eyes wide. "How can you still be so childish?!" "Childish?!" "Don't you understand yet?" "Understand what?" "Wealth covers a hundred flaws! A man without money is nothing... Don't you understand such a simple truth?" She stroked the man's cheek. "Even though he's old and ugly, he's rich enough!" "Can money really buy everything?" "I can't live without money!" "I always thought our relationship was true..." "But love without money is worthless!" "Money, money, money... Why is your mind so full of money now?" I suddenly had a headache. How come I never noticed she was like this before? Now I truly regretted it. "Rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea..." She said matter-of-factly. "What doesn't cost money these days?" "But you weren't like this before!" "Well, you weren't such a wimp before either..." …

    The rain started in the middle of the night, carrying the damp chill unique to western Hunan, like countless fine silver needles piercing into the bones. I tightened my raincoat, the copper bell in my hand making a dull tinkling sound in the wind and rain, ding-dong, ding-dong. The sound wasn't loud, but it was enough to pierce through the impenetrable black mist, startling a few roosting birds in the forest. The figure in the funeral clothes ahead was hopping along, following the sound of my bell. @Doucheng Eighth Master... It was a male corpse, a peach wood sword stuck in his back, yellow talismans pasted on his face, and a copper coin in his mouth. According to custom, a corpse driver cannot let the dead get wet, so I deliberately chose this shady mountain path, although the path was slippery and difficult to walk on, it would provide shelter from the rain. But the rain grew heavier and heavier, pattering against my straw hat, as if countless invisible hands were pounding it. "My master said," I murmured to myself, "we must cross the Soul-Severing Ridge before Chenshi (7-9 AM), otherwise the corpse will 'awaken'." Here, "awaken" doesn't mean coming back to life, but rather that rigor mortis will soften, making the body prone to decay and stench, and even leading to mutilation. The profession of corpse transport is about sending people home; it's a race against time with Yama, the King of Hell. If you fail to deliver them to their destination, you not only won't earn money, but you'll also lose your life.
