Dingyin Book

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the world fell apart. The living fight for the city, and the dead fight for the road. My name is Shen Xingchuan. I learned a little from my father about running errands for the dead. When I was young, there were wars and chaos everywhere, and people were dying of hunger all over the place. I just wanted to earn a living, look after people's graves, send souls, and take care of people's homes. Unexpectedly, as I continued to see them off, I discovered that most of the ghosts in this world were not born. Some died of starvation, some died unjustly, and some were taken by living people to pave the way, secure the city, and prolong their lives. Later, I walked through deserted villages, plagued cities, and mass graves. I also saw cities where living people lived during the day and dead souls walked around at night. I have given away many people in my life. Only when I get older do I realize that the hardest thing to give away is never the ghost.
