Max-Level Onmyoji

Beneath the modern metropolis lies an ancient city of the dead, suppressed for a thousand years. Generations of folk practitioners have guarded its secrets. Qi Zhao is a max-level yin-yang master who plays dumb and talks nonsense as he sneaks into Qingwu Academy to work as a janitor.

Strange things keep happening on campus: ghostly reflections in mirrors, burning paper to summon spirits, a library card borrowed by a ghost... Yin energy stirs, and the seal is on the verge of breaking.

He unexpectedly obtains a golden finger: his palm's blood can destroy evil spirits, talismans form on their own, and he has a profound mastery of formations.

Yellow talismans burn with blue flames. A peachwood sword is hidden in his cleaning cart. A carpenter's ink line coils around evil ghosts.

He cheerfully takes on the dirty jobs everyone else avoids. His enemies think they have him under their thumb, but they're actually walking into a deadly trap.

Chen Shiyuan pretends to smile behind his glasses. Gu Mingchuan commands yin soldiers in a bid for power. A tyrant tries to open the gates of the underworld. Qi Zhao has them all dancing in the palm of his hand.

Xiao Yunli's silver hair is stained with blood as her high heels crush a ghost's head. She calls him a "charlatan," yet keeps throwing herself into his arms.

Now he no longer hides his abilities. He lays a blood formation across the rubble and summons lightning to blast open the gates of the underworld.

In this world, ghosts aren't scary, and people aren't frightening. The scariest thing is when he smiles and shakes your hand, then stabs you from behind with a fatal blow.

One day, he will shatter the road to the Yellow Springs, rewrite the Book of Life and Death, unite yin and yang, and bring all ghosts to heel.
