Of Weddings and Wakes

Synopsis

White funerals bring sorrow, red weddings bring joy, but for Mu Gesheng, the boundary between life and death has long since blurred. An Ping, a top student and class representative, thought his biggest problem was delivering homework to the school’s most notorious delinquent. But when he tracks Mu Gesheng to a dilapidated City God Temple, he is thrust into a world of 'San Tu Jian'—rifts where paper puppets haunt classrooms and ancient secrets bleed into modern reality. Mu Gesheng is no ordinary student; he is the 'Heavenly Calculator,' a man who has already died once and returned to settle a century-old debt. Beside him stands Chai Shuxin, a cold and elegant healer from a legendary medical lineage. Bound by a tragic history that stretches back to the war-torn Republican Era, the two must navigate a landscape of shifting loyalties and supernatural perils as the seals holding back the underworld begin to crumble. As the past and present collide, An Ping witnesses the unfolding of an epic saga involving the 'Seven Houses.' In a world where divination costs a life and medicine can defy fate, Mu Gesheng and Chai Shuxin prove that some bonds are stronger than the cycle of reincarnation. It is a story of duty, sacrifice, and a lingering love that refuses to be buried, even when the gongs of the underworld strike for the final time.
