The American Taoist Priestess

A super-genius cultivator from the cultivation world fails to ascend, only to discover that she has arrived in a wondrous country called America. Its people look and live very differently from those in the Central Plains. What she finds hardest to accept is that having black hair and yellow skin is a reason for discrimination here. Bookworm, weirdo, ugly freak... Reborn as a Chinese American high school girl who is bullied and ostracized, she thinks these clueless brats have gone way too far! What? Being bullied by classmates is bad enough, but now her mixed-race younger brother is playing tricks on her, and her grandmother is mistreating her too? Enough is enough! Damn it! I've had it. I'll prove to all of you that people with black hair and yellow skin are the best race in the world! What? You're a vampire, you're a shapeshifter, you're a fallen angel... I'll stomp you all the same! In a nutshell: a cultivator takes on the monsters and demons of America. The Chinese monster lore draws on The Grand Dictionary of Chinese Mythology by Yuan Ke; the Japanese monster lore draws on The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Japanese Monsters by Shigeru Mizuki. The Western monsters come from a pretty eclectic mix, from British and American TV shows to the Cthulhu Mythos to The Search for Elves, Wizards, Heroes, and Monsters. I write whatever comes to mind, and there's a ton of made-up lore, so read at your own risk. Theme:
