From acclaimed author Tang Jiuqing comes Nanchan, a spellbinding supernatural mystery that weaves Chinese mythology and Buddhist lore into a tale of redemption and revelation.

A disgraced immortal thought long dead. A shape-shifting fish with a mind of its own. A cryptic copper bell that seems to lead them on a wild goose chase—or is it something more?

After committing patricide against the Supreme Father, Jinglin is annihilated for his betrayal, but instead of fading into oblivion, he awakens—weak and diminished—in a secluded courtyard. His only companions: a mysterious bell, a silent stone figure, and a talking fish that soon transforms into a child whom he names Cangji.

When the bell is lost during an attack on their quiet abode, Jinglin and Cangji set off to retrieve it. The trail it leaves behind winds through a series of puzzling, harrowing cases—each one embodying a different form of human suffering. As the mysteries deepen, so do the questions: What is the bell’s true purpose? Why has it chosen this path? And what awaits them at the end of the journey?

Follow Jinglin and Cangji as they unravel a tapestry of memories, desires, and intrigue in a quest for the truth that may be better never uncovered…
