The Bureau of Unusual Folk Affairs

Lu Tingzhou, a temporary night-shift worker at a funeral home, unexpectedly comes into possession of a ledger of merit. From then on, every time he puts an end to a supernatural incident, saves a life, or ensures a dead person’s affairs are properly settled, another entry of merit appears in the ledger. Once he has enough merit, he can summon the righteous gods of Heaven to lend him their powers. But the deeper he goes, the more he realizes that the most terrifying things in this city aren’t ghosts. They’re wild gods raised on the incense offerings of the living. This novel and its characters are entirely fictional. Any resemblance to actual people or events is purely coincidental.
