Soul Contract

Yang Jinghua has known nothing but hardship his entire life, scraping by in relentless poverty until a sudden accident claims his life. Yet death does not unfold as he expects. When he opens his eyes once more, he finds himself restored to a body ten years younger, free of the weariness that once defined him. Stunned and elated, he allows himself to believe the impossible—that he has been reborn and granted a second chance at living. His hopes are quickly dismantled by Duanmu Xi, an enigmatic young man with striking white hair, refined looks, and unmistakable wealth. Duanmu Xi shatters the illusion with a sobering revelation: Yang Jinghua has not returned to life at all, and his continued presence in this world is anything but assured. There is only one path left for him. In order to remain in the world, Yang Jinghua must become Duanmu Xi's soul image, and to secure that arrangement, the two forge a soul contract—a binding pact that inextricably ties their souls together. Bound by this otherworldly agreement, Yang Jinghua finds that his existence after death is about to become far more extraordinary than his life ever was.
