“The fox clan sent me packing. Their reason? I wasn’t doing proper work. I was using illusions to screen movies for people.”
Kicked down to the mortal realm, the good-for-nothing fox immortal Su Qingmo just wants to make money and lie flat in Republican-era Tianjin. But after meeting the stiff and upright celestial master Shen Xinghe and running into a nightmare-eating tapir demon, she realizes something is off about this world.
Warlords at war and ghosts roaming the night? Just watch me exorcise them with cinnabar grenades, broadcast talismans, and science!
Eastern sorcery stealing the dragon veins? Then listen as my stand-up routine makes those shikigami laugh themselves apart!
From Tianjin to Jinling, from an age of chaos to an age of prosperity, when the Netherworld Society seeks to build an eternal kingdom of ghosts, Shen Xinghe uses his own body to suppress the evil, while countless people beg and weep. Su Qingmo sets alight all the fireworks she has saved for a century and raises her middle finger at the demons filling the sky. “You want to hurt my man and destroy my world? Did you ask this ‘unscientific’ fox immortal first?”
This is an unconventional epic of demon-slaying: the wildest tricks, the toughest battles, and the warmest world worth protecting.
