Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Ling Hua’an possessed peculiar eyes. He couldn’t see the living, but he has the ability to see ghosts. He runs a small supermarket with his profit obviously earned from the living people. But in fact, his massive income actually comes from finding out the cause of death of the wronged souls and helping them enter the cycle of reincarnation.
There is a saying that has been circulating in the Underworld:
The grocery store’s door is open. Ghosts must not come in if they have no money!
Jiang Chengyan is the captain of the criminal investigation team of Yuncheng Municipal Bureau.
He is busy everyday, and often works overtime. His dinner would mostly be instant noodles he had bought from the supermarket near the gate.
But every time he went out shopping, he would always sense the gloomy atmosphere surrounding the market. But he’s a firm atheist, so it‘s reasonable for him to go. (Actually, I think the supermarket owner is quite a good-looking fellow and has good disposition.)
By an incidental chance, Ling Hua’an suddenly received a huge order. If he could do it, he will no longer have to worry about food and clothing in his lifetime. But it’s quite difficult, thus, Ling Hua’an naturally approached Jiang Chengyan.
Afterwards, Jiang Chengyan who is a firm atheist, had his three views broken, and it was really sweet…

Ok. The fact that I finished reading this story when the translation hasn't been completed yet means I read the raws, which means the story is interesting enough. The story goes through a few mu*der cases from beginning to end and later develops into something bigger, which I can appreciate. The thing is that I have so much beef with this story that I don't even know where to begin. Actually, I do know where to begin. I've been wanting to rant about this for quite a while now. What I really can't stand about this story is how karma and the rules of the underworld work. They are ok at first glance, but so many things are so wrong. Don't worry, nothing here is a spoiler. What I'm complaining about is mostly the "world building". Like for example, in this story, it is said that people who die due to someone purposely harming them become resentful ghosts. Ok, that's fine, but then it says that those resentful ghosts lose their memories the moment they become ghosts because of the resentment, and in order for them to enter the reincarnation cycle, they need to find out the truth behind their death and clear their resentment. Ok, that's fine. But here's the catch. There's a time limit to do so. If the ghost can't let go of their resentment by the time limit, they're doomed to wander the world for eternity and lose themselves. LIKE B WHAT? I don't know if that's what is truly believed in Taoism but why include that in the novel? As if the mu*der victim didn't have enough after being stripped of their life and everything they had and knew, if they can't let go by the time limit, then they're f*cked??? On top of that, the novel really emphasizes how everything is karma, so if you do something bad, you'll get retribution for your actions, and if you do good, you'll get good things in life. But what? Does that mean that the mu*der victims deserved to be killed? No, I'm not blowing things out of proportion. Most of the mu*der cases had a reason behind the mu*der where the victim did something that caused them to be killed. Not only that, apparently despite having forgotten their memories, resentful ghosts instinctively want to haunt and harm the person who killed them (well, duh, they're angry because someone robbed them of their life). Their resentment is actually harmful to living beings and the more resentment they have, the more harm they can cause. And the younger the victim, the bigger the resentment. A living being exposed to a ghost's resentment for a long time will weaken, then eventually fall sick and ultimately die. The thing is, that once a ghost takes a life, they're doomed and will lose their right to reincarnation. Take a moment to think about the implications. It's even difficult for a level headed adult to control the urge to harm the person who harmed them in the first place, imagine a child ghost or a baby ghost even. Remember? The younger the ghost, the bigger the resentment. Meaning, a baby ghost is guaranteed to just go on a rampage. Meaning, the most innocent ones are the ones who are doomed the fastest. How the f*ck is that even fair? Oh and the whole discovering the truth behind their death and letting go of their resentment is only for the ghosts who are lucky enough to find the spirit guide of their area to help them. The ones who aren't as lucky will be taken to an island in the underworld and will have to go through a very painful process to wash away their resentment. Because having been killed was not awful enough. And yes, there's still a time limit and yes they can still fail. And if they fail, they're stuck in the island to suffer for eternity. LIKE WTF? Why do you have to be ok with the fact that someone mu*dered you??? And be ok with it by a certain amount of time??? That's so toxic! Another way "karma" works in this novel is that you'll receive retribution for the result of others' actions just because you're involved in it, regardless of your intentions or how active you are, as long as the results bring harm to other people. For example, if someone kills one of your loved ones in order to hurt you, the person's death automatically becomes your fault too, so you'll get retribution for it. Like GTFO I've been ranting for a while now and this is becoming an essay, but I still have so much more to complain about. At the beginning, each case ended quite properly with careful details but later while the story focused more on the main characters' stories and not so much about the cases and victims, the side characters started fading into the background. No, they were not just dropped and forgotten about, but you were left to assume what happened to them instead of actually having a proper account. Or like the MC's and ML's relationship was totally fine, but then they had to add this whole layer of their "origin" to the story (won't say much to not spoil) and I'll just say that it was just sick. I hated that part. It was freaking awful. I could keep on going, but even I myself am tired for complaining so much, so I'll end my rant here for now... *sighs*
