Meddling in Strange Tales

Li Yu, a frail young man who had just graduated from university, hadn't even had time to prepare for his new life when illness took his life.

When he awoke again, he had transmigrated into the body of a foolish young master in a wealthy ancient family, a young man who shared his name. While the young master's family was still celebrating that he was no longer a fool, Li Yu realized that this world was not what it seemed! It was the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, overrun with fox spirits and ghosts!

Li Yu knew very little about the stories in Strange Tales, and was utterly bewildered. Worse, as soon as he transmigrated into the world, a malevolent little ghost was already eyeing the body he had just taken over...

To make a good life for himself in this world of demons, ghosts, and wandering martial practitioners, Li Yu and his family welcomed a Daoist priest who had come down from the mountains to gain experience as an honored guest, clinging to Priest Bai's coattails.

After the kindhearted Li Yu and the powerful Priest Bai went through one strange incident after another, Li Yu made all sorts of fox and ghost friends. But gradually, he began to realize that something seemed off about the "Priest Bai" beside him...

Li Yu: "You knew all along that I wasn't Li Zhu'er?!"

Bai Xingye: "Yes."

Li Yu: "You deliberately got close to me?!"

Bai Xingye: "Yes."

Li Yu: "You're not here to exorcise me, are you?!"

Bai Xingye: "..."

Both leads are each other's one and only.

A story inspired by Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, featuring popular characters such as Xiao Qian, Xiao Cui, and Ying Ning, as well as various lesser-known tales. Includes a trip to the underworld.

---------------Upcoming---------------

The demons invaded and sacrificed an entire city. Once the eldest son of a wealthy family, he was lucky to survive the massacre. With his revenge still unfulfilled, he lived on alone, trapped for five whole years in an unknown secret realm. When he finally emerged, the world outside had changed beyond recognition: a century had passed in the human world. Only then did he learn that during the hundred years he had been missing, his name had become famous throughout the Nine Provinces.

People said Gu Xihe was a brilliant rising star among the righteous young generation, a peerless genius whose talent surpassed everyone of his time. Full of suspicion, he went to Mount Jiuheng to take part in the disciple selection and saw the famous Immortal Lord Gu Xihe... Was that him? Wasn't he dead?

An orphan nobody cared about, a servant of the lowest station, had taken his name and identity and become a shining star in the cultivation world. How ridiculous!

The lofty Immortal Lord Gu asked, "What is your name?"

"This disciple is Gu Zheng!" he answered through gritted teeth, his heart filled with resentment.

That's right. He would fight to reclaim his name! His identity! And he would reclaim the achievements that Immortal Lord Gu had gained, too!

But Immortal Lord Gu said coldly, "The character 'Zheng' is too difficult to write. I'll change it for you."

"..."

The former master and servant became master and disciple.

The disciple wanted revenge on his master, while the master thought he had merely taken on a disciple with a strange temper.

Obsessive, awkward disciple gong x aloof, untouchable master shou

Younger gong, two powerful leads who are each other's one and only. Both are beautiful, strong, and tragic. The early chapters are mainly from the gong's perspective.

I'm working hard to build up a backlog. If you're interested, please add it to your favorites! Thank you!
