Synopsis
Soul reapers bind spirits, and vengeful ghosts roam by night.
Jiang Lin was a poor laborer on a construction site. After his foreman withheld his wages, he was walking home at night when an evil ghost came for his life. He died on the spot.
He should have been well and truly dead, but the Underworld Command Token in his hand kept his soul from perishing when his body fell. Instead, the Underworld chose him to become a living soul reaper, traveling between the realms of the living and the dead.
The Book of Life and Death subdues spirits, the Judge's brush writes their fates, Ox-Head and Horse-Face answer his summons, and countless vengeful ghosts obey his orders.
From ghostly shadows at construction sites to urban hauntings, from thousand-year-old ghost caverns to the secrets of the Underworld, the deeper he investigates, the more mercilessly he kills, and the stronger he becomes.
In the mortal realm, he claims the lives of lawless evildoers.
In the Underworld, he shatters the souls of rebellious ghosts.
While everyone thinks Jiang Lin is just a lone ghost whose body was left unclaimed after death, he has long been enforcing the law with his token, righting every injustice under Heaven and collecting the souls of the wicked.
The Underworld owes him a life, and the mortal world has robbed him of his own.
On this road between life and death, he is determined to tread over countless ghostly remains, step by step returning to the human world and ascending to the very peak!
My name is Jiang Lin.
From today on, evildoers in the mortal realm had better stay indoors at night, and ghosts in the Underworld had better stay off the roads by day.
Because I’m in charge of the boundary between the two now.
