Has the Daoist Master Crashed and Burned Today?

Yangzhou City is prosperous everywhere, and the Yu family is its richest family. Doted on by her parents, Yu Yangyang has lived a carefree life for sixteen years since she transmigrated into this world.

Until one day, the Yu family starts being haunted.

Meals and pastries vanish from the kitchen, aged wine disappears from the cellar, and a pale figure drifts past unoccupied places at night.

It is not just the Yu family. People are dying in the city every day, and the authorities are busier than ever. They say a great demon has come to Yangzhou City, one that eats people and tears out their hearts, with ruthless methods.

The authorities offer a huge reward for Taoist priests. Wandering priests come from far and wide, and in a month they hunt down and kill more than twenty lesser demons in the city. But no matter how hard they search, they cannot find the great demon.

One day, Master Yu brings home a Taoist priest from out of town. He treats him with such reverence, practically prostrating himself before him and worshipping him like a Bodhisattva.

Th-that's a Taoist priest?

Yu Yangyang stares at the "Taoist priest," dumbfounded.

The man wears a Taoist robe and holds a horsetail whisk, his long fingers forming a seal in front of him. Catching Yu Yangyang looking at him, he gives her a decidedly roguish wink.

Yu Yangyang has never seen a Taoist priest like this before. How could a Taoist priest be so beautiful?

The priest's silver tongue makes her father weep with emotion. He nearly kneels to bow, stuffing handfuls of silver into the man's hands.

Yu Yangyang looks on in dismay: Oh no, this scammer has swindled her father out of so many banknotes. Once he's found out, won't he be beaten to death?

Later, Yu Yangyang thinks: This scammer has no shame. Swindling banknotes isn't enough for him, now he wants to trick me into marriage?

The male lead is a fox demon who poses as a demon-hunting Taoist priest, befriending the priests and fitting right in with them.

The Taoist priests have searched for him for ages, never realizing he's been right beside them all along.

P.S.
