Soul Contract: Life and Death Knot

Seventeen-year-old Chen Qing has eyes that can see ghosts. She grew up with her grandmother, lonely and quiet, like a white camellia growing in the shadows. On the first day of her freshman year, she met a man in the corridor of the old campus of Maple City University—23-year-old Xu Yuanhang, who was tall, thin, and cold, with an abyss in his eyes that she could not see through. She saw three fatal soul cracks on his body, saw the dark red silk rope on his wrist, and saw an invisible red thread tied between them. Grandma warned her not to get close to him, but the gears of fate had already turned. In that abandoned chapel, a yellowed notebook revealed a century-old secret. In the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China, a female teacher named Shen Niantang planted her obsession in this campus, waiting for a girl named "Qingchen" to pick it up a hundred years later. Chen Qing finally understood that her innate abilities were not a curse, but a gift that transcended life and death; the red line between her and Xu Yuanhang was the knot of life and death that someone tied with a lifetime of obsession. From the flames of war a hundred years ago to the late autumn rainy night a hundred years later, two relationships that were separated by time were finally reconnected at this moment. When the seeds of obsession took root and sprouted in her heart, she was willing to use her own life to mend his broken soul.
