AnOverworkedSoul
Centuries after their legendary triumph over White-no-Face, Xie Lian and Hua Cheng remain together-Xie Lian a revered god, Hua Cheng a worshipped ghost king. Their peaceful existence is shattered when a new, deadly illness-dubbed COVID-19-sweeps the world. Unlike the infamous human face disease, this variant brings no grotesque markings, but is highly contagious and fatal. The pandemic's origins in China spark global blame, but as ancient, sinister forces stir, it becomes clear the crisis is more than a modern disaster. Is White-no-Face truly gone, or has an old evil returned? As humanity faces mounting deaths, Xie Lian grows desperate to intervene, and Hua Cheng stands steadfastly by his side. Together, they must unravel the mystery behind the outbreak and confront the shadows of their past.
