After losing his job and his girlfriend, Lin Chen was down on his luck. With his heart in pieces, he withdrew to the mountains and inherited an old, dilapidated guesthouse left behind by his grandfather.
When he unexpectedly became bound to the Soul-Taming Guesthouse System, he was stunned to discover that the seemingly abandoned mountain estate was actually a gathering place for spirits.
A gentle female ghost from the Republican era, a down-on-his-luck scholar who had lived for a thousand years, ancient souls asleep since antiquity... All kinds of ghosts and monsters were long-term guests.
By helping them resolve their obsessions and pass on to the next life, he could unlock mystical arts, feng shui formations, fortune, and wealth, quietly growing stronger along the way.
An adventure-streaming influencer who wandered in by chance mistook the guesthouse for a horror-movie set and filmed a strange apparition on a livestream. Overnight, it went viral across the internet.
Countless adventure streamers and paranormal fans came one after another to visit and investigate, all assuming it was staged.
Only Lin Chen knew that the terrifying paranormal scenes everyone was chasing were simply part of his everyday life: having tea and chatting with thousand-year-old evil spirits and adorable female ghosts.
He retreated to the mountains, ran a guesthouse, helped spirits pass on, and gathered good fortune. From then on, he took it easy, quietly ruled the wilderness, and went viral across the internet.
