I Pretended to Be the City God for Three Days, and They Believed Me

On my third day after arriving in this world, I took over from the former City God, who had been silenced.

With an empty seal in my hand that made officials treat me like royalty, I’d planned to coast through life and raise my niece. Instead, everyone in the city’s hierarchy mistook me for a wordless master

When a weasel spirit came seeking a title, I flashed my seal and it dropped to its knees, calling me its superior. A soul medium lit a lamp to illuminate souls, only for the flame to shrink beneath the pressure of my empty seal.

But my predecessor died in the classified case known as “Main Case Seven Seals,” and an unknown sealing thread has been sewn into my body. One wrong move, and my soul will scatter.

The old case from the Gengxu year, seven unsealed case files, the hidden Hall of Stolen Incense...

I only meant to keep up the act for three days. Now I’ll have to keep it up for the rest of my life.
