When Li Chuyi first came down from the mountain, all he wanted was to earn enough for his meals.
He set up a fortune-telling stall by the back door of the cafeteria, and his very first customer brought him face-to-face with something sinister.
Li Chuyi: I can't handle this one. I'm out of here!
Senior student: Master, save me! (hands over money)
Li Chuyi (instantly changing his tune): Li Chuyi can't handle it? Well, I, Li Shiwu, can! I'll deal with it tonight!

Demons in paintings, a thousand-year-old fox, Qingqiu's illusory flowers and moonlight, the Nine Tripods' technological sorcery...
The door to the world of the uncanny opens wide for Li Chuyi.
And so, a fee-raising devotee joins the patrol of the southeastern district, while the three calamities that have plagued the land since its founding finally find the one destined to face them.
From then on, the iron-fisted Bureau of Anomaly Suppression, sinister demons and monsters, and that upperclasswoman who always shows up in a crisis and looks at him strangely all come knocking.
Li Chuyi: Master! You promised I'd be free to roam the mortal world! This isn't what we agreed on! How did I end up becoming a living immortal?
