In the autumn of 1974, in the Shahudong area of Chifeng, Inner Mongolia. A gang of tomb raiders broke into the rebirth altar of the Khitan high priestess, Aogu Dayuewu. A fragment of a Taoist text that should never have appeared sparked a struggle between the dead of a thousand years ago and the living of the present day.

A soul-stealing painting of seductive women, a coffin bed of lust that brought its victims to a wrongful death, two demonic Taoists who were sworn enemies yet buried in the same tomb, mysterious treasure hunters who plied the canals, the White-Skinned Granny who loved to burrow into wild graves, a ghost island seen only once every sixty years, an upside-down concrete coffin atop a paper boat, dead bodies drifting beneath the sea to bask in the moonlight, and bizarrely dressed demons sleeping in the Eye of the Earth…

Winner of the Silver Award for Literature at the iQIYI World Conference.

Some chapters have been optioned by renowned directors in China and famous film companies abroad.
