Destined to calamity, one is born under the ominous star.
Another, beneath the star of solitude, bleeds alone.
The god of misfortune finally meets the one who lures it near.
If one is a magnet for misfortune, that is the god to answer those prayers. Thankfully, Wu Ming loves it. 🌸
He mourns the loss of his last believer and punishes himself by allowing all kinds of tragedy and mishaps to fall upon him, ironically gaining power, since his purpose as a ghost is to grieve.
The only protection he has is a fierce white silk that curls around his body and tries its best to keep him safe.
800 years later, when he hears the rumor about a boy with the human face disease, he visits the famous ghost city where he meets the ghost king, who is pleased to meet him.
His face, however, is charged with some sort of… melancholy.
He was not expecting him to be dead.

It’s been centuries since the last time this curse was even mentioned, meaning that this boy can’t possibly be a living person. Unfortunately, just like he never spoke to his peer heavenly officials when he was one, he's never talked to many ghosts either.
Xie Lian might not be very knowledgeable, but he isn't entirely ignorant either. There is a city entirely populated by ghosts. He heard about it sometime ago, but now it could be a good moment to pay a visit. After all, wouldn’t the best way to find a ghost be in a city full of them?
