The Shanhai Chronicles

Xuanyuan Mingjue, a history student and staunch atheist, accidentally smashes an ancient jade pendant during a field trip to the mountains. From then on, he is bound against his will to an ancient deity from the Classic of Mountains and Seas. He becomes the deity's “agent” in the human world, able to see the various strange beasts and spirits hidden in modern cities. At first, he is terrified and resists. But when he is forced to deal with one mysterious incident after another caused by these creatures, Xuanyuan Mingjue gradually uncovers the hidden side of the world amid absurd everyday mishaps and thrilling adventures. He also begins to seek the true secret behind the power within him.
