My name is Xia Jiu. I’m an orphan, adopted by my master, Bai Luocheng. On the surface, I’m a university professor, but I have another, little-known identity: the seventy-ninth-generation inheritor of Maoshan Taoist arts.
My greatest hobby is digging up other people’s ancestral graves.
My most notable trait is collecting corpses.
My master sent me to the mortal world to gather souls. Once I’ve collected 999 of them, I can return to the Great Way of Maoshan and be reunited with my master.
I only wanted to work hard at building things so I could return to my master as soon as possible. I never expected to accidentally dig up the tomb of General Xiahou Yuan, the White-Earth General, and end up living with a very handsome zombie.
