Lie Xing An Chen
During the famine years, the young girl Ah Hui became a sacrifice to a mountain ghost to save her younger brother, but unexpectedly awakened the mountain god Yuze who had been sleeping for thousands of years. Is the ten-year lifespan obtained through the transaction a curse or a salvation? When she discovers that the mountain ghost is actually the stand-in for the goddess Cang Hui, and when the regicide blade points at her loved ones, this bond that spans life and death will eventually tear apart her faith. Is the life-for-life contract between mountain ghosts the mercy of gods or the greed of human nature?
