The Ancient Soul's Mysterious Servant

"May the Ye family of Hongfu be cursed to have evil spirits as their souls for generations."

Ye Li had always thought it was just a family legend, until a string of nightmares came crashing down on her when she was twenty-two...

After her parents died fighting each other, she received the Outline of Soul Command, which her father had mailed to her before he died, and embarked on a road of no return.

People have three souls: the Heavenly Soul, the Earthly Soul, and the Life Soul. Of the three, the Heavenly and Earthly Souls are usually outside the body, while only the Life Soul resides within it.

People also have seven aspects of spirit, governed by the Life Soul. A person's life begins when the Life Soul enters the womb.

The Life Souls of the Ye family of Hongfu are all born from evil ghosts. They are clever, nimble, and strong... but all die young.

Ye Li was no exception.

At twenty-two, after her parents' accident, she saw the evil ghost that was her Life Soul and made a deal with it.

She survived for six years. When the deal ended, she died by the great river...

Zhou Qi first met Ye Li in the counselor's office during the second semester of her freshman year.

She would never forget that terrifying, bloodcurdling sight.

The girl stood with her long, tangled hair falling to her waist. Her bloodshot eyes seemed ready to spill blood. Her white dress looked as if it had been soaked in a pool of blood, its blackish red hue of death violently assaulting her eyes and stirring the most primal evil deep in her heart.

Even now, when she thought back on it, the air seemed thick with the smell of blood.

Content warnings:

1. Supernatural adventure, not a traditional horror story

2. The male lead appears late

3. No perfect characters (in other words, none of them are good people)

4. Over-the-top melodrama

Theme: Never neglect a good deed, no matter how small, and never commit an evil deed, no matter how small.
