[Urban + Fantasy + Single Female Lead (or No Female Lead)]
(I'm trying really hard to make this funny.)
At some point, spiritual qi revival began to sweep the world.
Some animals benefited from the spiritual qi and became spirit beasts.
Some humans gained beast-binding marks that let them control all manner of beasts, becoming exalted Beast Tamers.
Everyone took pride in becoming a Beast Tamer, except Chen You
"Chen You, as a Beast Tamer, where's your beast?"
Chen You glanced at the ghost bride beside him and scratched his head.
"Isn't this my beast?"
?? Isn't that a ghost? We told you to tame beasts, so why are you taming ghosts?!
