(Uncle Jiu, single heroine, no System, personal growth, lighthearted)
After transmigrating into the Republic of China era as the eldest young master of the Chu family, he discovers by chance that this is a world of spirits and the supernatural, and heads straight for the funeral home.
The finest West Lake Longjing tea, antique Tang sancai pottery, a painting by Wu Daozi, and a set of Five Emperor Coins, together worth tens of thousands of silver dollars, leave Uncle Jiu stunned. With extravagant generosity, he joins Maoshan as its youngest junior disciple.
After acquiring a Demon-Refining Pot by chance, he uses countless cultivation resources to lead Maoshan to the top of the Daoist world and unite all Daoist sects!
Uncle Jiu: “With these magical artifacts, scriptures, and divine arts, how could Maoshan not prosper?”
Semu: “This spirit-invoking art is amazing! I can summon a deity to possess me anytime, anywhere. Now the patriarchs no longer have to worry about me running out of steam.”
Qianhe: “If it weren’t for the equipment allowance, I might have died as soon as I made my entrance.”
Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and I would risk our lives for each other. The King of Hell and the Judge treat me like a brother. I marry the fairy disciple of Lady Meng, becoming the underworld’s most well-connected man.
I overpower senior brother Shi Jian and, as the youngest junior disciple, secure the position of Maoshan’s leader, bringing the Daoist world under my first unified rule.
Japan invades! Breaking a thousand-year treaty, its onmyoji personally take the field, indiscriminately slaughtering helpless civilians in the Republic of China! Hundreds of thousands of people die one after another, and resentment engulfs all of China, lingering for a thousand years.
The current leader of Maoshan, Celestial Master Chu, overcomes all objections and forges alliances across the mystical world to resist Japan’s onmyoji. I will protect our vast China and defend our homeland. We will give our lives and shed our blood to save the people from calamity and keep our great nation from collapse. This is our duty, and we will not shirk it! When the sleeping dragon awakens, Japan’s invaders will see their fortune run out and their nation fall! I, Chu Tianze, swear this in the name of the Daoist world’s Yin-Yang Agent!
When will the heroine come?
But isn't it true that a leader can't have a family? How did you get a single female protagonist?
