The world has never been so crowded, not just on the streets, but in the gaps in our understanding.
The beings once found in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and ancient legends have not vanished. They have simply learned the rules of modern society, put on suits, slipped their phones into their pockets, and blended into the steel jungle around us. They work, start businesses, invest, go into debt, and struggle through the mortal world just like we do.
But when their “nature” clashes with the “rules” of human society, trouble follows: the truth-twisting Eshou becomes a public relations expert, the fire-summoning Bifang goes into manufacturing, and the nine-headed Xiangliu brothers start a business partnership that ends in a messy split... Human lawyers cannot make sense of bloodline contracts, and accountants cannot calculate karmic cause and effect.
And so, a “Nonhuman Financial Disputes Office” quietly opens in a corner of the city.
Its owner, Yuan Bao, is a Pixiu banished to the human world and unable to hold on to its wealth. Gathering riches is its nature; giving them away is its fate. The accountant, Liu Ji, is the only human employee. He is good at bookkeeping and wisecracks, and tasked with building a firewall between common sense and the inexplicable.
Their business? They handle all kinds of bizarre financial cases caused by “nonhumans”: auditing century-old accounts, mediating partnership disputes between spirits, collecting debts across dimensions...
Here, contracts are written in bloodlines, and profits might actually eat you.
Welcome to a world where credit cards fly alongside talismans, and Excel sheets share the screen with demon cores.
"The Nonhuman Financial Disputes Office"
The author currently plans to write four books. The main storyline follows the protagonist, Yuan Bao, and his connections with the various extraordinary creatures of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". I also hope readers will share their thoughts and support the work. Thank you very much.
