A lucky silver coin brought Samuel into a turbulent era.

Here, there are foreign gunboats and cannons, warlord factions rising everywhere, extravagant mansions filled with debauchery, and common people left homeless and destitute.

Here, there are also monsters and evil spirits: python immortals, flood dragon corpses, graves for the living, jade for the dead, paper figures stealing lives, stone Buddhas selling fortune, old cats worshipping the moon at night, wild foxes stealing coffins, ancient towns with underworld messengers walking by day, old capitals with ghostly soldiers borrowing roads, ancient villages appearing in dried-up rivers, haunted houses everywhere in the foreign concessions, mass graves hiding bone temples, and nameless cities where thousand-year-old demons frequently appear.

Here, the lucky silver coin has two sides: one for the living, one for the dead. Samuel also has two sides: a Daoist priest in robes, and a wandering soul, an evil spirit, a zombie, a wicked Buddha, a wild city god...
