   A suspenseful romance unfolds as the ghostly mists of the underworld blanket the River of Oblivion, and the wails of the mortal realm echo through the Buddhist temple. Shen Qingci, holding a string of sandalwood prayer beads, opens her eyes to the hall filled with vengeful spirits—she is the last inheritor of the art of using Buddhist relics to subdue all ghosts. In "She Subdues All Ghosts with Buddhist Relics," she walks the gray area between humans and spirits, imbued with an innate Buddhist nature: a compassionate solace for the souls of the unjustly deceased in an abandoned village, a fearless confront against a thousand-year-old vengeful ghost in a gloomy ancient temple, and a clear-headed figure who unveils the sinister conspiracies hidden beneath human masks in the treacherous court. The Buddhist relics within her are both a shackle and a sharp blade. When she sacrificed her Buddha bones and summoned ghosts to her body to save lives, the sinister ghost king, always lurking in the shadows, grabbed her wrist, his red eyes churning with malice and obsession: "Use your Buddha bones to suppress a hundred ghosts? Why not... Use yourself to suppress me?" He listened as she chanted scriptures; he watched as she fought fierce ghosts; he sought to drag this compassionate little Buddha into his own inescapable hell while she exhausted herself for the sake of humanity. The book contains the eerie horror of a hundred ghosts roaming the night, the tug-of-war between Buddhahood and humanity, and the forbidden yet passionate entanglement between good and evil. Turning the pages, one can almost hear the chanting and the wailing of ghosts, witnessing how this compassionate little Buddha guarded her true self amidst demons and monsters, and how she glimpsed a glimmer of light in the eyes of the ghost king who wanted to drag her into the abyss.
