The affairs of the human world all come down to one word: fortune. When fortune rises, grand mansions are built; when it fails, towering structures are on the verge of collapse. One rises as another falls, and every peak is followed by decline.
No one knows that the fortunes of all ages are controlled by a group of people called Yin Witches.
When fortune is unstable, Yin Witches set up a ritual formation, summoning evil ghosts to feed on living souls and guard it. This lets them open the Gate of Calamity and descend to the Underworld. The practice is known as Summoning Yin.
Xiang Sheng is the most vicious and ferocious evil ghost in the entire Underworld. He wears the face of an innocent, obedient young man, yet the instant he took shape from resentment, he slaughtered half the Underworld. At the sound of his name, all three realms tremble in fear.
...Except for those damn Yin Witches, who actually dare to use him to feed living souls??!
Xiang Sheng: One day, I'll wipe you all out.
When Xiang Sheng wakes from a nap, his dream has come true.
The good news: the net has been cast, and every Yin Witch in the mortal world is right in front of him.
The bad news: he's turned from an evil ghost into a human, and to top it off, he's become a Yin Witch.
The even worse news: someone has pinned him to the bed. He can't move anything but his eyes.
His sworn enemy, who has summoned him countless times to feed living souls, sets down a peachwood branch, removes an ancient copper coin marked with cinnabar, burns a talisman, and gently feeds him the water it was steeped in.
A low, shadowy voice falls beside Xiang Sheng's ear, brimming with amusement and as beguiling as a gu spell. “Little Sheng, the Twin Hearts Talisman. The caster's name is locked to the Three-Life Stone. Your lives and deaths are bound together, even if your souls are scattered.”

For ages, it has been customary for Yin Witches to summon Yin to protect the people of the world.
Evil ghosts are the most malign creatures in existence. Formed from resentment and curses, they are born to endure the torments decreed by Heaven's laws and to be reviled and feared.
Yet Xiang Qin pulls a newly formed little ghost out of the Underworld and keeps him by his side.
He gives him a surname and a name, builds him bones and a body, teaches him the secret arts and talisman techniques of Yin Witches, and transfers half his own merit to him.
At the end, he gives him freedom, wishing him a hundred years without worry.
He wants to keep an evil ghost in the mortal world, so he does.
“Long before your memories began, we were already deeply in love.”
