Synopsis

Other Taoists hunt ghosts and exorcise evil spirits. I hire ghosts to work for me!

To meet my sect's KPIs, I opened a murder-mystery game shop, staffed entirely by stranded ghosts playing NPCs.

They earn merit by working, and once they have enough, they can be reincarnated. A fair deal, with no age-based discrimination.

The only headache is the talisman against evil spirits hanging around my neck. It supervises me around the clock and reports everything to my master.

When customers scream in fright at the ghost NPCs, I calculate the takings at the front desk while secretly drawing talismans to suppress the evil spirits.

I only wanted to take it easy and support my family. Who knew all kinds of evil spirits and long-buried cases would come knocking one after another?

Fine, I'll work overtime. Ghosts aren't the only ones with KPIs. This boss has them too. Time to open for business at full throttle! Let's do this!

Any Stories With a Male Lead Who's a Taoist Priest, Already Powerful from the Start, and Has No Romance?

The male lead should already be powerful in the first chapter. To emphasize this very, very clearly, there must be no romance, and the male lead should be invincible under heaven. Actually, that is all! I have just run out of books lately. 😭😭😭
