The World of Endless Night 极夜世界
After I died, I became the Dao, a civil servant tasked with dealing with ghosts. There are three hundred and sixty trades, and every one has its master. There are three hundred and sixty Daos, and every one can be deadly. Behind every “deviation” lies a life with nowhere to rest. And in the heart of every “Dao” lurks a dream it never wants to wake from. Some want to see me dead, some want to drive me mad, and some want to turn me into the very thing I’m supposed to deal with.

A Tujia Daoist by the Wu River 乌江边的土家道士
A graduate of a top university, unable to pass the civil service exam after years of trying and considering his family circumstances, accepts his family’s legacy and becomes a home-based Taoist priest. This Tao is not that Tao: it’s nothing like the Taoist priests we normally imagine. There are no strict rules and taboos, nor any grand mission to save all humanity. Yet this Tao is also that Tao: he wears the same robes, communicates with the realms of yin and yang, and does what he can to help.
