As a Merit System, System No. 987444 had extremely strict requirements for binding a Host.
The Host had to be under eighteen, blessed with great fortune, brimming with potential, and completely free of wrongdoing...
So it wasn't until its energy was nearly depleted that it finally bound a Host.
But nobody told it it would bind a living corpse! And not just any living corpse, but a young woman who had died before she had the chance to do evil, with a sweet face and a ruthless heart!
The system's automatic customization for its Host turned it straight into a Vengeful Spirit Merit System!
System No. 987444: Its resentment is now heavier than a ghost's!
A quake sent Jin Chu tumbling out of an underground palace where she had slept for thousands of years.
By the time she emerged into the light, she had become a walking corpse, unable to see, hear, or speak, with all five senses gone.
Now anyone could kill her with a pinch.
She has to dispel ghosts' resentment to earn merit and restore her senses ahead of time. It's a journey where she can only survive by keeping her head down and pretending to be virtuous.
The village's evil ghosts, the schoolgirl ghost, the frozen-corpse classmate, the red-clad water ghost...
The little ghosts fear her, and the evil ghosts covet her. But they don't know that the gears of fate began to turn the moment she awoke.
Someone is watching her.
Theme: There are plenty of ways to dispel resentment.
