Everyone says paper effigy makers are the lowest of the low, earning their living from the dead.
Lu Chuan, the last paper effigy maker in Huaixi Town, awakened only the most inconspicuous, commoner's profession: paper effigy making.
He crafts paper people and horses for the dead, burns paper offerings, and sends souls on their way, eking out a living between the worlds of yin and yang.
But one day, after he painted the eyes on the paper effigy he had made for Third Master Liu, it moved on its own, slowly turning toward Third Master Liu's house.
Once he takes a job like this, he has to get to the bottom of it.
He values loyalty, but isn't blind about it. Before helping someone, he weighs whether they're worth it and keeps a fallback plan for himself.
With one foot in the world between yin and yang, he'll make something of this despised trade that everyone looks down on.
