Demon-Suppressing Qin: From the Start, I Inherit the Imperial Jade Seal

[Mystery + Urban Fantasy + History + Spiritual Qi Revival + Antique Destiny] “Ding-a-ling, ” The debt collector’s call blared again. Lin Yuan gripped his phone so tightly that the veins stood out on his hand. Three hundred thousand yuan in loan-shark debt, and his antique shop was about to be repossessed. How had he ended up like this, just two years after graduating from college? In a fit of rage, he kicked over the sandalwood box his grandfather had left behind. An ancient jade seal rolled out, and blood-red markings instantly spread across his body That night, a red-clad female ghost burst through the door, her long hair dripping wet and her fingernails sharp as knives. Lin Yuan instinctively raised the jade seal. A flash of golden light streaked past, and the ghost let out a piercing wail. She took shape in the glow: she was a bride who had been pushed down a well by her faithless lover a hundred years ago! The jade seal grew hot, and four ancient characters appeared on it: “Seal of Calamity Suppression.” The phantom of Qin Shi Huang emerged. Whoever possesses it can judge all the demons and evil spirits under heaven, command the Great Qin armory, and appoint new gods! From a down-and-out shopkeeper to a secret agent of the Demon Suppression Bureau who strikes fear into all quarters, then to a Night Watcher commanding China’s supernatural forces. Following the rhythm of Qin law, Lin Yuan slays demons and banishes evil, soothes lingering grudges with compassion, restores peace to ancient towns, and protects China. When angels from the Western Divine Court and monsters from the Eastern Hundred Demons set foot in the Nine Provinces, Lin Yuan stands atop the ruins with the jade seal in hand and cries, “No gods or demons may tread on Chinese soil!” This is my first time writing a novel, and the opening chapters aren’t very good. But trust me, the story gets absolutely exciting later on. If you think it’s bad by Chapter 10, come back and give me an earful!
