Lu Xiaoyi is a wage-slave Daoist priest. His main job is catching ghosts, and his side gig is paying off loans.
In an age when the Daoist arts are in decline, Lu Xiaoyi inherits a rundown temple and is forced to branch out into new lines of business:
He uses a peachwood sword as a selfie stick to livestream ghost hunts, sticks talismans on food deliveries to give hungry ghosts a proper send-off,
sells thunderstruck wood prayer beads on Xianyu to earn money for incense, and even rents out a nine-tailed fox as a livestream hype act.
Then he digs up, at the bottom of a haunted-house swimming pool, the remains of a thunder-struck stele that shattered his temple fifteen years ago.
Food delivery orders from hungry ghosts lead straight to the underworld’s household registration office, a water-ghost breeding farm run by an influencer agency conceals relics from his temple, and the face on a top-tier star’s collarbone looks exactly like the one in the photo taken when his master was struck dead by lightning...
