Eighteen years ago, a rebellion broke out in the Sea of Hell in the Underworld. Several deeply sinful and powerful vengeful ghosts escaped in the chaos and wreaked havoc in the human world.
Six years ago, the Jiang clan, a thousand-year-old family of mystics, was massacred overnight in a horrifying tragedy. The killer vanished without a trace, and even the bodies disappeared. But what the world didn't know was that several Jiang children had miraculously survived. They hid their identities and endured in silence for years.
On a rainy night six years later, an eighteen-year-old in white appeared out of nowhere, carrying a dark red peachwood cane with a silver serpent coiled around it. The forbidden art of legend, the Five Elements Slaughtering Formation, appeared in the mortal world once more. A heart-wrenching scream came from the ancient Lu family residence deep in the forest...
With his family avenged, the spirits of the dead could finally rest. Jiang Qi'an, whose time was running out, planned to keep it from everyone else and find a place with good feng shui where he could wait quietly for death.
Before he could set out, a man in black blocked his way. He said he came from the Underworld and called himself its Nineteenth Earth Envoy. He wanted to make a mutually beneficial bargain over Jiang Qi'an's lifespan: he would help him capture the evil ghosts, and Jiang Qi'an would help him extend his life.
A bargain? I'm afraid I'll have to decline, Your Excellency. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

1. Both are virgins. One-on-one, slow burn, happy ending. No switching or breaking up.
2. Entirely fictional! Entirely fictional! Entirely fictional! Lots of plot holes and original additions! Logic not guaranteed!
3. The supernatural and feng shui lore is not researched or accurate in any way. It's all made up!
4. Two storylines, past and present. The present is modern, the past is ancient. Please don't read if that's not your thing.
