Paper Dolls in the Mortal World
by 十三原
Everyone knows that Nanyang Lane has a 'Chen's Paper Shop' specializing in funeral supplies—paper dolls, paper horses, paper houses, paper sedans—a craft passed down for four generations. But no one knows that the Chen family's paper craft has an ancestral rule: after midnight, the shop door must not be closed tight. Chen Du originally just wanted to keep the shop and coast through life, until one rainy night, a pair of paper boy and girl he made walked down from the altar and told him: 'Master Chen, your grandfather signed a contract for you back then—the Chen family of paper craft must complete 365 paper works for the underworld in each generation. If you can't finish, you'll take their place.' From then on, people started dying in Nanyang Lane. A drowned woman needed a paper boat to cross the river, a man killed in a car accident needed a paper car to hurry on his way, a dismembered child needed a paper doll as a substitute... Behind every paper order lay a wrongful death case. And Chen Du gradually discovered that all orders, after going full circle, were ultimately addressed to the same ghost—a century-old ghost piecing together its body with paper works.
