The living are the end of the spirit; the dead are the beginning of the spirit.
Xiao Wanqing's perspective:
At the age of ten, she watched Gu Peiming deliver her parents' spirits to the afterlife. That's when she learned that the Spirit Dispatch Office existed.
So after accidentally awakening her yin-yang eyes, she followed in his footsteps, helping innocent spirits who died in natural or accidental disasters settle their earthly attachments and reincarnate.
But Xu Wenqing, the great demon who should have been killed by Chu Yanzhi three hundred years ago, was still alive. He had also caused the disaster that struck the three villages of Huashan Town.
Xiao Wanqing had only one thing she wanted to do: avenge her Uncle Gu!
Chu Ting'an's perspective: The first time I met Xiao Wanqing, she was covered in blood and filthy, but the despair in her eyes against that gentle face stirred my compassion.
The second time we met: No way, I don't want her anymore. This girl has a split personality.
I only wanted to be a carefree idler. Then, the first time I went out to help someone, a spirit jade tricked me into becoming its master. And now the woman I found wants revenge. Guess I'll have to risk my life and stick by her. Besides, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. So I'll take her with me to find a way to defeat our enemy.
Xu Wenqing's perspective: Once, all living things saw me as an ant. Now I see all living things as ants. Fair is fair!
Don't think I won't hit you just because you're a married couple.
Please note! The episodic storylines in this novel follow the needs of the plot. The author planned the routes using real-world maps and chose similar names, or sometimes used real place names outright, since naming things is not the author's strong suit. They have no connection to the real world. Please don't draw real-world comparisons while reading. Many thanks!
