Ma Qianle has never spared much thought for the things in his world that nobody has gotten around to proving yet. That is, until the day he nearly drowns and finds himself in hell but still alive. Newly appointed as the link between the mortal realm and the afterlife, he is thrust into a world of ghosts and spirits.

At first, nothing much changes in his day to day life, but soon strange incidents that even the kings of the underworld can't explain begin happening one after the other. Forced to work with the spirit who nearly killed him, Qianle digs deeper and deeper and finds that he is far more involved than anyone realized. Will he be able to save one person without losing any others? Not even fate knows the answer.

'I have guarded this place for centuries but in my heart you are the one I truly want to protect'

Author's note: Yep, it's BL. Don't like that fact, please kindly take yourself elsewhere. Contains strong language and gore, and /may/ contain R-18 content later on but no guarantees. Reversible couple, HE guaranteed. Updates Monday and Friday US time, plus occasionally additional chapters when I feel like it.
