[On the night of exorcism a hundred thousand years ago, Xiao Yu last held Qi Xiaze's wrist bones as they gradually faded and turned transparent. His tears of blood dried in the wind, leaving a reddish-brown streak on the bridge of his nose. The person held in his arms ultimately exhausted every last bit of spiritual power, sending Xiao Yu and their own battered half-spirit into the Lamp of Reincarnation. In the end, they melted into the vast snowfall. From that moment on, daylight vanished from Kyoto. Day and night fell out of balance, and flowers no longer bloomed. The winter snow finally lasted until the summer solstice of the second year after Xiao Yu entered reincarnation, covering the last trace of the divine spirit within Lord Tianze as well.]
The Lamp of Reincarnation shattered, and Xiao Yu's new soul was born once more in winter. Only this time... he had no memories of that person.
This place... was no longer the Kyoto he had known for tens of millions of years.
It was instead the ordinary city of Huai, where ordinary people and those with supernatural abilities lived side by side.
Eighteen years later, Xiao Yu, a college student with supernatural abilities, officially joined the Spirit Encounter Agency. On his first day at work, he met a strange man.
The silver nameplate over the man's left chest read "Xia Zhi." He was not only handsome, but exceptionally gifted in his supernatural ability. He just didn't like talking to people.
Xiao Yu: "Hey, we're all going to be working together from now on, so you can stop looking so stern."
Xia Zhi: "..."
Xiao Yu: "I don't think I owe you money."
Xia Zhi: "...I know."
Xiao Yu: "What's your name? Have we... met somewhere before?"
"...My name is Xia Zhi."
Theme: To be determined.
