[Blurb] Hua Cuozhi is a low-ranking soul repairer who travels between the human world and the underworld. In her spare time, she also visits the Zi Market, where the living and the dead mingle, to trade for things.
Until one day, she meets a child.
This world is divided into the human realm, the underworld, and the Zi Market. The underworld has three departments: the Hall of King Yama, the Pass of No Return, and the Path of Reincarnation. There is also the independent Office of Records.
The Zi Market differs from both. It is a place where the living and the souls of the dead mingle, and everyone, alive or dead, can make fair trades to obtain what they want.
In the human world, only those with great virtue and prestige may take up a post in the underworld or the Zi Market after death, and follow the way of the dead.
"Life between Heaven and Earth is like a traveler passing through on a long journey."
Reader's note: Updates are slow. This is purely for entertainment, so please don't read if it's not to your taste. History buffs, please stay away. I'm just mixing together a hodgepodge of history. Apart from the Zhang Liang storyline, which will involve a lot of Western Han history, I'll do my best to avoid inaccuracies. The characters will definitely be out of character. Since each mini-arc involves historical figures, there is too much to cover, so I'll do my best to avoid complications.
