My Fox Dad Is Rebellious to the Core: Summon Spirits, Tell Fortunes, and Bury Bones

[Feel-good + ghost-hunting + absurd comedy + going off the rails + metaphysics and the Northeast Chinese shamanic tradition + secret identities + adorable kids + livestreamed fortune-telling + ensemble cast] On her final transmigration into a book, Tu Shanjiao, the Fox Clan’s ancient ancestor, becomes the Gu family’s biological daughter, who was raised in the countryside, just before the apocalypse begins. From the start, her reborn stepsister steals her role in the story, so Tu Shanjiao turns around and takes the little villain, Long Boyi, north to find his family. She thinks she’s rewritten the plot and is guaranteed to win this time. But when Tu Shanjiao opens the door to the luxurious villa, Long Boyi points to the sinister, domineering Long Siqi in a wheelchair and calls out, “Uncle!” Tu Shanjiao: “Oh, hell no! How did my handsome little husband end up being you?” Long Siqi, the domineering CEO: “My wild first love, who’s been dead for ten years, is standing right in front of me? This world really has gone mad!” By accident, Tu Shanjiao becomes an NPC on a romance reality show and turns it into a horror show. She unlocks a shamanic altar in Northeast China that’s been sealed for a hundred years, then livestreams fortune-telling to devise a tailor-made revenge plan for a red-clad female ghost. In one night, she claims nine lives and shocks the entire Chinese occult world. On the global horror reality show, The Psychic Challenge, she grinds Korean shamanesses, Japanese onmyoji, American exorcists, and Thai Ajarns into the dirt. Armed with a soul-summoning umbrella, paper effigies, and nine black coffins, she takes on an entire team of Taoist masters and makes a name for herself in a single battle! As Tu Shanjiao’s secret identities are exposed one after another, she catches the attention of the national task force and becomes deputy captain of the Special Security Brigade. Along the way, she reunites with her four powerful older brothers and her long-lost soldier-king of a father. The apocalypse arrives, and the terrifying world known as the Window sweeps across Blue Star, bringing Western-style horror with it. Tu Shanjiao recruits reborn survivors, confiscates their golden fingers, and leads an entire altar of Northeast China’s old immortals, along with a group of reborn madmen and madwomen, into battle with maxed-out powers. Tu Shanjiao: “Watch me, your fox daddy, use Chinese-style horror to make the whole universe cry!”
