The Yin Guest

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

In the corner of the third floor of Kanghe Hospital, there is a forensic clinic with a schedule posted on the door:

Monday, Wednesday: Municipal Public Security Bureau
Tuesday, Thursday: District Public Security Bureau

Of course, that’s just what ordinary people see. In fact, underneath lies another intriguing phrase discreetly concealed beneath the seemingly mundane information.
“Every fifteenth of the month, the Yin guest arrives. No exceptions. Find other arrangements if late.”

On a certain fifteenth of a month, Yin Wushu stood on a black stone by the bridge and shouted at Xie Bai from a distance, “Since you moved to this ghostly place, you haven’t let me in again.”

Xie Bai gripped the door, expressionless, “Is that all?”

Yin Wushu continued, “After all, I’ve raised you with blood, sweat, and tears for nearly a hundred years.”

Xie Bai’s face remained cold, “So what?”

Yin Wushu suggested, “Should we go easy on the door?”

Without a word, Xie Bai raised his hand and with a loud “bang,” slammed the door shut, causing even the stone bridge to shake.
Yin Wushu: “…”

Yin Wushu, dumbfounded and at a loss for words, gazed in disbelief, realizing that his heartfelt plea had been met with an indifferent and powerful rebuke.

In this complex and intricate narrative, we witness the tale of two individuals caught in the clutches of their twisted circumstances. One, the “Lived for too long and accidentally became twisted” pursuer, finds themselves entangled in the web of their own existence. The other, the “Lived too close to that twisted person and couldn’t avoid becoming twisted too” vulnerable and fragile recipient, narratively misleads us with their outward appearance, concealing a deeper fragility within.

I thought this was a very interesting little story. The ending was a bit thin and things pushed to the "extras" were actually the ending so I deducted a star. I still recommend trying it.

It might just be the way I read but the mystery of the ML remained for me until nearly the end of the story which added to the interest factor. The MC makes it clear that the MLs words can't be trusted and he's not wrong. In fact, the MC is very sharp witted, its just... more>> that the ML is even faster. The mysteries wound in mysteries are tight and fast because of the story length, but overall I thought they were still very effective.

The author kept the side characters to a minimum so that they could have some sort of substance (although not complete) they were interesting and added to the story. I also liked the way the author played with the Dao's idea of balance and pull between yin and yang and Chinese divination.

A satisfying read on balance. <<less

Mid novel I didn't think I'd be giving this 5 stars but after reading the ending, I have changed my mind. Let me start by saying this, the romance is like 5% yet deeply entangled in the plot. You'll understand when you reach a certain part. But if you're looking for dog food, you have come to the wrong place. However don't let that sentence keep you from giving this a chance, by all means - please do! Especially if you have read Guardian by priest and enjoyed it.

The reason... more>> why I decided to read this was actually because it reminded me of Guardian and I really loved that story. There are a few similarities in setting and main character identities and even the ending. So if you finish reading the Yin Guest and want something similar, then give guardian a chance. I do recommend reading The seven seas danmei's translation as it is better and the titles, most importantly, are more unique and better sounding.

Now back to The Yin Guest. At first you won't quite understand what a Yin Guest is but don't worry, all of your questions will be revealed slowly as the plot progresses. Do read the other review too, it says the things I would say too. There are a couple of things I'm unsatisfied with, such as a lot of mysterious being kind of swept to the side after the initial introduction and some progression until the ending in which everything is revealed. It made me feel like those would turn into plot holes. Some things are kept vague, so you gotta use your head if you have leftover question but all in all, I really loved everything and 100% would suggest to read this! <<less
