After Marrying into a Wealthy Family, My Little Taoist Temple Became a Hit

[Please check out "After the Background Character Binds to JJWXC". Kisses!]

The Si family finally found their son, Si Huai, who had been missing for years. But he was constantly dabbling in superstition and bizarre occult practices, so the family couldn't take it anymore and sent him to the Lu family for a political marriage.

Si Huai was born with a gift for the occult, but his body was so full of yang energy that ghosts and spirits kept their distance. He visited haunted buildings and supposedly cursed houses all over town, yet somehow never encountered a single paranormal incident.

On the first day he met his fiancé, Si Huai encountered the first ghost of his life.

Overjoyed to the point of tears, Si Huai ruffled the ghost's head and told his blind date, “A quick reading of your fortune says we’ll marry young.”

Lu Xiuzhi: …

Lu Xiuzhi was a business tycoon with a vast fortune, but his body was full of yin energy and attracted ghosts. As long as he stayed with someone full of yang energy, he could escape the evil spirits that haunted him.

So Lu Xiuzhi married Si Huai.

One day, he came home from a business trip.

His home had been turned into a Taoist temple. Si Huai sat with his legs crossed, watching a crowd of ghosts burn incense and bow before him.

“Other people get fed by their founding master. Heaven itself spoon-feeds me, so the Heavenly Dao is my founding master.”

“No cutting in line. One ghost at a time.”

“A civilized city depends on every ghost doing its part.”

Lu Xiuzhi: ???

Note:

1. This won't be scary. I'm scared too.

2. Lighthearted and silly, with a playful tone. Hope you enjoy reading!

3. The protagonist does occult stuff with zero seriousness and an overpowered golden finger. Sweet, satisfying, and ridiculous. Everything is fictional; any resemblance is purely coincidental. The setting is a modern alternate universe. If you take things too seriously, this isn't for you. Seriously, don't read if you take things too seriously. (Important!)

4. There is anti-piracy protection. If you can't read it, clear your cache or purchase the chapters, dear readers!

One moment, Yu Zhi was only half-listening as his friend complained that the protagonist of some apocalypse novel was a bloodthirsty psychopath. The next, the novel's plot had become reality.

The apocalypse arrived, and pollution mutated across the globe.

Some people were contaminated, and mouths sprouted from their crowns. Others awakened and gained special abilities.

Yu Zhi: What the hell?!

Bad news: He hadn't been paying attention to his friend's plot summary at all.

Good news: He'd awakened an ability, a book called JJWXC.

[Ability One: You are a background character in JJWXC.]

[Note: You used to be an ordinary, unremarkable background character in a novel, but from now on, you will…]

Yu Zhi took a deep breath and excitedly flipped to the next page. His smile froze instantly: […have no bathroom humor!]

???

How the hell does that count as an ability?

It wasn't long before Yu Zhi had the bad luck to run into Fu Suxi, the protagonist, covered in blood and looking like an evil spirit fresh from hell.

Good news: Yu Zhi had just gained a second ability.

Bad news: His new ability seemed utterly useless.

[Ability Two: Censored.]

[Effect: Silence one person within ten steps, and walk a thousand miles without leaving a trace.]

The instant Fu Suxi came near Yu Zhi, the murderous intent in his heart mysteriously vanished.

He pressed his knife to Yu Zhi's throat and asked with interest, “What did you do to me?”

Yu Zhi: “…”

If I said I silenced you, would you believe me?
