Urban fantasy, supernatural, suspense, comedy, and feel-good slice of life.
This book doesn't pad things out, but it does have a slower pace, with careful characterization for every major character.
Readers who like short, straightforward, fast-paced stories may find it a little hard to get used to at first. But stick with it, and I believe you'll find a different kind of enjoyment in these pages.
Everyone knows that aside from the Ghost King of Shengjing, Zhongzhou is home to four even more mysterious beings who love to play the pig to eat the tiger.
Some busybodies turned them into a catchy rhyme and dubbed them the “Four Plagues of Zhongzhou”!
Red thermal underwear, a ragged straw mat, hiding a quasi-king-level being inside.
Kawaii, Hu Keqi, her father's name is Hu Dali.
Red Lady, Xia Anyi, cradling the Emperor of Bone Fiends in her arms.
Whatever you do, don't mess with Zhao Weian. Don't mention it, don't mention it. She lives in Chunfengli!
When Tian Hao transferred out of the Paranormal Affairs Bureau and returned to Dong'an City,
he discovered that the worlds of the living and the dead in Dong'an City weren't nearly as peaceful as they seemed.
There were wandering ghosts who loved to celebrate their zodiac year, a Red Lady who liked helping people look after their kids, a cadaver instructor who loved making house calls, and a router ghost who liked attacking people through their internet connection...! A big city has every kind of ghost, so Tian Hao rolled up his sleeves and started laying down the law.
...And then the ghosts of Dong'an City had someone to turn to!
...Years later, at the Zhongzhou Ghost Banquet!
At the banquet, a cocky little wandering ghost grabs the collar of a red-clad vengeful ghost at the next table and smacks him twice!
“Why'd you dress yourself up in so much red? You planning to star in Wolf Warrior 3 or something?”
The vengeful ghost is aggrieved, but he doesn't dare say a word.
Because the other guy is from Dong'an City... Chunfengli!
