My name is Chen An, I am twenty-two years old. I have inherited an old shop owned by my grandfather in Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong - [Ping An Tang].
I thought this was just an ordinary shop selling incense paper and making money from dead people, until I discovered the strange rule he left behind: after midnight, burning incense is the last thing to do, and no more words are allowed.
From that day on, my world was turned upside down.
After twelve o'clock at midnight, all kinds of "guests" come to the door with bizarre requests: a drowned female ghost holding soaked embroidered shoes, seeking an unfinished wedding; a felon imprisoned forever in the police station, screaming unwillingly inside the wall; a walking paper-pricked man, a tea restaurant that never closes, the mysterious disappearance of Yang Qi in the hospital...
But my second uncle, Chen Changgeng, who hangs around racecourses and mahjong parlors all day long and is the rotten gambler I despise the most, can always resolve the crisis with some incredible "earth tricks" at critical moments. The mysterious mark on his palm seems to be inextricably linked to the cause of my parents' death.
With the appearance of a [Ghost Marriage Letter] with my name and date of death written on it, I realized that all of this was no accident. The fate of our Chen family as the [Yin Yang Dushou] has already involved me in a huge dispute related to the change of power in the underworld.
Who I am? What kind of blood debt does the family bear? Before that inevitable final battle comes, I must light the incense of asking my heart, personally ask the gods and Buddhas in the sky, ask the ghosts in hell, and find a way to survive!
