    [The King of Hell called my name alone. A marriage contract, five strange entanglements.] On the first day of the first month of the Gengzi year, the King of Hell turned the pages of the book of life and death, leaving life and death to fate. That year, the Book of Life and Death contained only one name—Pi Jianqing. Before I was even a month old, my parents abandoned me like a worn-out shoe, saying that I brought misfortune and evil, and that keeping me would bring ruin to the family. Only my grandmother, with a cold and stern expression, carried me away from the village and into that shop on the old street of Xijiang, where the bitter smell of medicine lingered all day long. She did something strange that shocked the entire feng shui world: she arranged five marriages for me. "Whoever signs the marriage contract will be granted a great fortune by the Heavenly Physician and the Divine Woman." As soon as the news spread, people from all around, carrying bloody roosters and heavy pig heads, flocked to the scene under the starry night. The long queue, winding like a procession for a ghost marriage, stretched from the old street to the outskirts of the city, hundreds of eyes fixed intently on that door—only then did they realize that the old woman who usually prepared medicine and acupuncture was actually the celestial healer and sorceress, Wan Taojin, who could change fate with silver needles and diagnose the supernatural. And I, the infant chosen by the King of Hell to die, quietly opened my eyes deep within this pharmacy, a place shrouded in five strange contracts and lurked by a hundred ghosts. --- #Suspense #Folklore #KingofHell #CelestialHealer #StrangeFate (A dark pharmacy, swaying lanterns, red paper marriage contracts, the shadow of silver needles)

    First book: Just finished reading. Zuo Dao He An is ruthless and cunning, full of strange occurrences. It's completely different from ordinary novels. This is the first time I've seen such a stunning evil cultivation novel. Highly recommended! Second book: By the same author as the first book. No need to say anything, just read it! Fifth book: My number one in the eerie suspense genre. It's about vengeance and unorthodox methods. It's a pity the author of the second book went to 7cat. It's called "Yin Yang Gui Jiang". To sum it up in one sentence: "Nine lions worship the elephant and look back, deceiving the heavens and crossing the sea to gain eternal life. Lin Jiang dies, Po Lu is blind, and Xiao Yang lives." It's very good. My heart was clenching. I could also learn some metaphysical knowledge. Eighth book: The West Mountain Base is a fictional setting. It was very enjoyable to read. The ending was a big twist. Every chapter was very good. There were no bad points. Everything else was also very good. I just don't want to write too much.

    The young man's smoke hadn't yet dissipated, but his eyes suddenly sharpened. He held the cigarette between his index and middle fingers, letting the ash fall like scattered phosphorus dust under the streetlight. In the shadows of the street corner, a black cat arched its back, its fur bristling, whimpering softly at the empty corner. Its eyes glowed with an eerie green in the darkness, its front paws scratching restlessly at the ground. The young man narrowed his eyes, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and a spark ignited, illuminating the faint scar on his chin. He exhaled the smoke and smiled silently. "Interesting," he muttered to himself, flicking the cigarette butt into a nearby trash can with a soft "hiss."
