Bone Crossing

On the day the mass grave was dug, Meng Heng was driving soul-killing nails into the ground. The soil cracked and broken bones surged out from the ground - 3,124 skeletons, all buried here during the palace incident thirty years ago. She guarded it for two years, but was still poached. Xiao Yuan, a member of the Jinyi Guard Qianhu, was ordered to hunt her down. In their first fight, she wrapped the soul-binding rope around his ankles and pulled him off his horse. He didn't believe in ghosts—until he saw her pull a resentful spirit out of the well. He pushed his father's roster in front of her. The first name on the list of defenders in Pingning City thirty years ago: Xiao Guang. Her body temperature was dropping, her heartbeat was slowing down, and her shadow was getting lighter day by day. But she still had to go to the capital. Because those who don't deserve to die need someone to pay their debts for them.
