Liang Zhenyu was born into one of the most feared exorcist clans in the empire—a bloodline that destroys spirits without mercy. But unlike the rest of his family, he has yet to awaken any true spiritual abilities of his own. To test whether he is worthy of inheriting the clan’s legacy, his parents send him on his first unofficial spirit hunt. Deep within a silent mountain forest, Zhenyu encounters not a violent ghost… but a girl dressed entirely in white. She has no memories. No hatred. No desire to harm anyone. Yet she is undeniably a spirit. Though he knows he should destroy her, Zhenyu cannot bring himself to do it. Instead, he commits a forbidden act: He brings the ghost home. Giving her the name Bai Wuyou, he hides her existence from the world. Soon, Zhenyu discovers Wuyou possesses a terrifying ability—she can sense dangerous spirits long before they appear. With her help, he begins succeeding in exorcisms at an unnatural rate, quickly rising through the ranks of the exorcist world. But their growing bond attracts unwanted attention. From suspicious clan elders… To rival spirit hunters… To ancient horrors sleeping beneath the Abyss. And deep within that darkness, something recognizes Wuyou. Not as a wandering ghost. Now Zhenyu must face a terrifying truth: The spirit he chose to protect may become the very thing that destroys him.
