Strange Tales of the Tang Dynasty: From Corpse Collector to Judge of All Trades

【The author has completed several folk-horror novels, so you can read with confidence】 In the third year of the Zhenguan era, Shen Zaiyuan transmigrates into an unregistered corpse collector at a funeral home south of Chang’an. The world is plagued by strange happenings: paper effigy brides come seeking lives, headless vengeful ghosts pound on doors, and the mastermind behind it all even wants to use him as a scapegoat in death. Fortunately, from the start he awakens the Hundred Trades Ledger. Whenever he handles a corpse, he can borrow one of the dead person’s special skills. To survive in a Tang dynasty overrun by the uncanny, he turns the tables and recruits a terrifying squad of animated corpses. A stubborn corpse-hauling pallbearer carries coffins and guards the door. A headless, chilling funeral escort plays the qin at midnight. And a black cat that swallowed a fetal soul stalks through the shadows, taking lives. They roam the night, using the rules of the dead to expose the wickedness of the living. Until, one night, a hundred corpses march through the dark, and the powerful noble culprit finds himself trapped in a dead-end alley, trembling before a horde of monsters. “Since you’re so fond of killing people to silence them, why not talk to the dead in person?” When the funeral home’s gates swing wide, will the Tang dynasty belong to the living, or become the hunting ground of the Judge of a Hundred Trades?
