Haunted Streets

Surface world: a modern city where ordinary people live routine lives, but certain areas hide “spirit streets” — alternate spaces occupied by ghosts, zombies, and other beings, overlapping with the real world yet not interfering with it.

Inner world: the source of the spirit streets, born from yin energy leaking through the “Gate of Nine Hells.” The deeper the layer, the stronger the monsters, eventually leading to the abyss of the Nine Hells.

Core rule: each spirit street is an independent little world ruled by a “street lord” (ghost king / zombie king). Repairing a street — that is, destroying or converting the street lord — grants a “street mark,” increases strength, and gradually reveals the truth of the world.

Main character’s ability: Liu Hua unexpectedly inherits the orthodox lineage of the Celestial Master, can see the supernatural, use daoist arts, and subdue ghosts and monsters; Hatto-tall Woman is an ancient guardian reborn, turned into a ghostly being by a curse, and spiritually bound to Liu Hua, sharing power.
