Lu Xuan is a food-delivery rider scraping by in a big city. His biggest headaches are bad customer reviews, late-delivery fines, and rent that never stops going up.
He keeps feeling like he can see strange "filthy things" and hear odd sounds. At first, he blames it on "nervous exhaustion" brought on by city life. Then, while making a delivery one day, he accidentally activates the cinnabar birthmark on his right arm. With a talisman covered in random doodles, he pins down a wandering corpse that was about to jump from a building.
His peaceful life crumbles completely.
By a twist of fate, he becomes a disciple of Li Changqing, a reclusive Maoshan heir who's obsessed with anime and livestreams sales every day. His first lesson: translate the principles of Taoist magic into video game terminology.
His partner is Lin Wei, a cool-headed professional and consultant for the Abnormal Investigations Bureau. She's determined to explain every paranormal phenomenon using an "abnormal electromagnetic wave model." She handles scientific support while he performs unscientific exorcisms, making them the most hapless bickering duo around.
Lu Xuan inherits the tradition-defying magic of the "New Maoshan" school. He crafts Yin-Yang puppets from the remains of discarded electric scooters and uses high-energy "spirit magnetic field" talismans to fight the Gu Soul Sect's dark arts, which lurk behind a business conglomerate, and the ever more powerful Flying Jiangshi.
Finding a balance between delivering orders and saving the world becomes this modern exorcist's most pressing daily task. High-energy laughs, airtight logic, and blazing passion: my everyday exorcisms are just this unscientific!
