Book of Hades

There is a rule in Zhuzhu City: before a person dies, the obituary comes first. Yingjian is a scribe at Taipingfang. His daily job is to copy the name, date and cause of death of the deceased on jute paper and file it in a book. He copied it for four years and never asked any questions. Until one day, an obituary contained a line of words that he had never written: This person was alive but not dead. Three days later, the man died. The cause of death was exactly as stated in the obituary. After that, Yingma started to notice some things that shouldn't exist. The death list sent to the commander in advance, the obituary slip that automatically rewrites the handwriting in the middle of the night, the nameless deed living in the old locust tree in the courtyard, and the only clue left by the sister who disappeared eight years ago: a piece of jute paper with "Come soon" written on it. This world is ruled by the laws of the underworld. The laws of the underworld are condensed from the obsession of the dead and are engraved at every entrance to the underworld. Anyone who violates them will die. Living people can only obey and cannot resist. But Ying Jian discovered something, there was a crack in the law of darkness. Behind every seemingly impeccable rule, there are loopholes hidden in obsession. And he happens to be someone who has been reading obituaries for four years and is better than anyone at finding clues in the words. In order to find his sister and rewrite the already written death list, Yingjian stepped into the depths of the underworld. What he didn't know was that the source of the Underworld Law, the pen that first wrote down the rules, was quietly waiting for him to get it. And that pen only recognizes the blood of the winner.
