All Yang Guiyue ever wanted was to escape the Yang family.
Until the day of her wedding, when she wore the old red wedding dress Sheng Niang had spent a lifetime saving up for. Instead of a wedding procession, she received a single message:
“Master Ye has been selected by the Zhentian Bureau and appointed a Netherworld Envoy. He will be sent to the Nether Sea today.”
Three hundred years have passed.
The Netherworld Envoys never return, and the Nethermoon Pavilion’s lone Spirit Sacrifice Priest sits in solitude. The world has long believed that the secret art of communicating with the dead is nothing but a lie meant to reassure the people.
But Yang Guiyue refuses to believe it.
She refuses to believe that Ye Jibai would abandon her, and she refuses to believe in fate.
So she enters the Zhentian Bureau’s examination to become a Spirit Sacrifice Priest.
On the day of the preliminary selection, Gu Qingshan, an officer of the Underworld Surveillance Office, looks at her and says coldly, “Another one here for the reward.”
