An undertrained young Taoist nun x a strict, meticulous judicial official (demon hunting in an imaginary Ming dynasty, sweet and healing daily life)
The Celestial Master's Estate at Longhu Mountain offers registered names and deliverance from calamity, guaranteed quality.
Wealthy families compete to make donations and register their names, hoping their children will be safe.
He Yan, a direct disciple of the Celestial Master, is ordered by her master to descend the mountain and deliver people from calamity.
With a reputation for knowing a little about every Taoist art but mastering none, He Yan is certain that her first deliverance mission will be easy.
That is, until she finds herself clutching a Taoist scripture to look up incantations while being chased all over by demons. At last, she can't hold it in any longer...
"Master, you have far too much faith in me!"
Yang Zhen, a Director of the Office of Judicial Review in the Ministry of Justice, is known in the capital as the "Iron-Faced Judge."
Then he meets He Yan, who has to copy spells straight out of a book, and his composure crumbles to pieces.
Can Yang Zhen really trust her to deliver him from calamity?
And so the two investigate cases and hunt demons together, looking out for each other as they muddle through.
The period of tribulation passes, yet Yang Zhen is still beset by misfortune.
The more He Yan thinks about it, the less it makes sense.
Only when her celestial-like senior brother suddenly appears does she realize she chose the wrong person and delivered the wrong person from calamity!
She knew a good-for-nothing like her couldn't be given a hell-level mission!
He Yan quickly hands the task over to her senior brother, grabs her bundle, and hurries off to find the person she was actually meant to help.
Reciting a soul-returning incantation for a noblewoman whose soul has left her body: now that's the task she should have taken.
After completing it, He Yan packs up to return to the mountain, but Yang Zhen blocks her way.
"Still going to deliver me from calamity?"
"I can't." He Yan raises the registered-name talisman in her hand. "Because my name is registered too. Now it's my turn to face tribulation."
Yang Zhen: "I can help you through it."
He Yan: "What?"
