After Passing the Civil Service Exam, I Get Promoted and a Raise by Exorcising Demons and Catching Ghosts

Sharp-tongued heroine, loves money, no CP, not brainless, grows over time.

The women of the Ma family have dealt with gods, demons, and ghosts since birth. After passing the civil service exam, she joins the National Bureau of Paranormal Security. She gets the full benefits package while hunting zombies, and her performance KPI is subduing fierce beasts.

Armed with the family's ancestral Dragon-Binding Art and her gluttonous little black dragon Xuan Chi, she fills out forms by day and binds evil spirits by night. She also has to stop her nine-tailed fox colleague from sneaking bites of the fierce beasts' feed.

A group of viral paranormal bloggers are struck by evil, a top-tier star is haunted by a ghost infant, and the century-old corpse of a flood dragon at the bottom of the river revives... Every case points to the mysterious Reverse Scale Alliance's plan to resurrect the Eastern Emperor Bell. When a paranormal livestream watched by the whole internet turns into a million-person summoning ritual, Ma Shuzuo has a USB drive loaded with a Purifying Heart Mantra in her left hand and a civil servant's handbook in her right. Amidst the chaos of nine-tailed fox fur selling out everywhere and Xuan Chi sneaking bites of the server data, she delivers a hard-hitting workplace survival guide in the style of a 21st-century Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. A secure government job?

No, it's a merit bowl for sealing ancient evil gods.
