Reader note

The first book is sweet... Moderately sweet with a touch of suspense, revolving around the female lead. The beginning focuses on her becoming an actress, the start of her new life with a new identity. Later on, the female lead's character becomes incredibly well-developed, and the plot is fantastic!! 🥺 I almost forgot who the male lead was towards the end. I loved so many of the couples. The second book is absolutely amazing! If you like ghost stories, this is a must-read. I absolutely adore the female lead; every character feels so real and alive. It's definitely worth reading if you haven't already, especially the slightly angsty later on.

⚠️High-energy warning: Please prepare a protective charm if reading late at night. The details of the evil magic in this book are too realistic. Some readers have reported hearing the sound of coffins being knocked... Resurrection of the dead, taboo backlash! From the age of three, Lin Shou was sealed in a strange coffin by his grandfather every year: willow wood to suppress evil, cypress wood to lock the soul, sandalwood to attract yin... Eighteen years of hellish burial rituals were actually a shocking scheme by his grandfather to exchange his life for his own. Until the eldest daughter of the Cao family severed his tendons and meridians, buried him alive and sealed him in a coffin, the fate of the King of Hell broke through the ground - the boy who was resurrected, surrounded by the fragrance of corpses, held the power of yin and yang, and vowed to overturn the taboo buried deep in the Cao family, the richest family in Meicheng, for hundreds of years! Feng Shui trickery, every step a deadly trap. The Cao family mansion hides a corpse in the lotus pond, and the Seven Star Suppression Method cannot suppress the wailing of the wronged soul at night. Under the gorgeous exterior of the most virtuous family in Meicheng, there is actually an evil magic that continues the fortune of the "Five Killing Fates". Lin Shou walks the line between Yin and Yang: paper dolls bewitch enemies, venomous insects devour souls to break formations, and ghostly encounters to hunt down criminals... Every battle conceals a deadly countdown of "seven days of resurrection." When Feng Shui master Gu Zhihua cries out, "Who can break my Seven Star Formation?" And when the Cao family's ancestral grave is covered in blood and gore from a wax-sealed red door, this life-or-death struggle spanning three generations is only just beginning to unfold. The ultimate question behind the taboos: Why did Grandpa willingly allow himself to be manipulated by the Cao family to change his fate? Why did Xiuyu, his childhood sweetheart, undergo such a drastic personality change after marrying into a wealthy family? The truth behind the nightly wails of the "Eighteen Vajras" created from living people reveals a "spiritual secret art" even more terrifying than Yama, the King of Hell. With each layer of taboo Lin Shou tears open, he gets closer to the prophecy of "Yama's fate turning against humanity"—when paper effigy ignites living lamps and the River God Temple hosts a feast of a hundred ghosts, who is the true sacrifice? A terrifying feast of folklore—dare you open it? This masterpiece, blending the intricate plots of *The Grave Robbers' Chronicles* with the mystical battles of *The Descendants of Maoshan*, uses a "living corpse detective" storyline to weave together 108 forbidden folk arts, including Miao witchcraft, Southeast Asian sorcery, and silk-string puppetry. Author Fei Yi (creator of *The Underworld Patrolman*) uses cinematic language to immerse readers in the suffocating rhythm of paper dolls guiding the way and blood-soaked coffins trembling, creating a thrilling experience of "knowing the taboos are ahead, yet unable to resist turning the page!" The ultimate suspense explodes: ▪️ Was Grandpa's dying words, "The Cao family's fortune is about to end," a prophecy or a curse? ▪️ On the day the five fates are gathered, why do hundreds of infants suddenly cry in Mei City? ▪️ What awakens within Lin Shou—the King of Hell… or an even more ancient taboo?
