Ferry Inn of the Yellow Springs

Deep in the Green Stone Alley of Qingzhou lies a hidden ferry inn unknown to the living. The innkeeper, Shen Du, has lingered beyond life and death for a century, only to dissolve the obsessions of the dead. Behind each eerie modern incident lies a century-old human debt. The executioner's rusty blade, the actor's jade, the salt smuggler's calamity, the water token of the Canal Guild, the night watchman's hourglass... Shen Du: I know neither life nor death, only ferrying souls. The most terrifying thing in the world is not ghosts, but the human heart. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Ferry Inn of the Yellow Springs — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
