Ensemble cast, Taoists, supernatural abilities, urban setting, high-level martial arts, standalone cases. (Every installment is thrilling, with no padding or sluggish pacing.)
Do you believe there are departments that handle supernatural phenomena, or gifted individuals with spiritual powers who fight one another? The down-on-his-luck Taoist Xue Li only wants a steady job and a secure position in the civil service, but by a twist of fate he is arrested and taken to the STC, the Special Talents Center.
Together with the female investigator Rong Xi, a woman with enchanting red eyes, he investigates paranormal cases and battles the evil heretical organization, the Church of Returning to the Truth. The entire book is packed with thrills. Enjoy!
(This is a wholly fictional urban supernatural novel set in an entirely imaginary world. All cities, government agencies, and special organizations in the book, including the STC and public-sector departments, are original fictional creations and have no connection whatsoever to real-world agencies or public offices. They are not intended to represent or allude to any real departments. All plotlines, institutions, and characters are works of fiction.)
It is not only a story between the male and female protagonists, the story line is very good, and each person has a distinct personality. It's my favorite group drama
