When Shen Du was twenty years old, he paid off a debt for a dead old lady.
Creditors are not people.
It's Liu Yan.
A snake fairy who has lived for who knows how many years.
According to the legend, disciples who go out to walk the yin and yang for the immortal family, cut off the cause and effect, and settle old debts.
But Shen Du discovered that the first debt he took was not quite right.
The paper man is matched with a ghost marriage, a double is hidden in the old house, someone knocks on the window on a snowy night, and a person who has been dead for many years is borrowing the body of a living person to go home.
And Liu Yan——
He is cold-hearted, acts entirely based on his likes and dislikes, and is more murderous than compassionate. He does not look like a serious immortal family.
But Shen Du followed him.
One is born light-hearted and as clever as a fox;
One has lived too long and is as cold as a snake in the winter snow.
One pays off debts for people, and the other pays off debts for monsters.
They went through a series of strange things and uncovered old accounts from the past little by little.
It wasn't until the end that Shen Du found out——
Grandma Liu owes more than one debt.
And it was no coincidence that Liu Yan was guarding him.
"Are you waiting for me, or are you waiting for someone who is already dead?"
Liu Yan looked at him for a long time and only said:
"It's all the same."
