Tale of the Floating Moon

[1vN + Supernatural Mysteries + Ensemble Cast + Past and Present Lives + Rivals Fighting for Her]

Ye Ran is an unmotivated animation student at A University. Her specialties are seeing ghosts and dreaming about even scarier ghosts.

She thought her life would be simple: draw, play the piano, game, study divination, find her mentor… and be happy forever.

Then she made a wish on a meteor shower: “I want to lie flat.” A flash of light jolted her sleeping primordial spirit awake.

The good news: she really is a deity.

The bad news: she’s a disgraced immortal sent down to the mortal realm, and she owes a mountain of thousand-year-old romantic debts.

Now her daily life consists of:

“Dual cultivating” with her aloof Taoist childhood friend, being cursed by her obsessive guqin teacher, and dealing with the gloomy, fragile young Demon Emperor from the Demon Realm, who calls her “Sis” and clings to her with unsettling devotion.

And she, an ordinary college girl who just wants to eat vegetarian food and draw, has suddenly been told:

This is her last trial run in the mortal world. Once she dies of old age, she has to return to the Ninth Heaven and clock in for work.

…Is there still time to stuff her primordial spirit back where it came from?

[Reading Guide]

1. No BL in this novel! All male characters are straight!

The pacing is slow at first and plot-driven, but the later sections are thoroughly satisfying. This is a million-character epic, so proceed with caution if that’s not your thing.

2. This is not a female-power fantasy. The heroine is my take on a quirky, witty, sarcastic, and growing protagonist. This is purely an original-character and personal-fetish project.

3. An unconventional urban fantasy setting, combining Taoist deities and a cyberpunk Three Realms. It weaves together past and present lives and includes extensive historical romance sections.

4. Contains alternate history, supernatural mysteries, and religious themes. The worldbuilding is entirely my own, so please read critically!

5. Includes some mild horror and esports elements. Apologies for the memes.
