Ling Xiao transmigrates and becomes an exorcist hired by a television crew.

In an instant, all manner of ghosts and monsters appear before his eyes, with spirits roaming the mountains and wreaking havoc among the living.

As Ling Xiao hunts ghosts along the way, he learns that the supernatural incidents are connected to the Ghost King of the Perilous Realm.

Ghost 1: "The Ghost King, our boss, gave us time off so we could wreak havoc among the living!"

Spirit 2: "The boss is into livestreaming, so he told us to send him gifts!"

Monster 3: "The boss has his eye on a beauty, so we're pooling money for a congratulatory gift!"

No matter what kind of monster or demon you are, face my sword!

W-Wait a second!

Ling Xiao looks at the Ghost King statue in the Perilous Mountains:

"What! The Ghost King of the Perilous Realm is actually me?"
