The Tenth Occultist

【Reverse V announcement】This novel is expected to enter the paid chapter stage on Saturday, September 20. The paid chapters will be chapters 24 through 137, so please don’t purchase them again if you’ve already read them. Thank you to all my dear readers for your support. Please check the content warnings in the blurb below: Kun Chen x Hu Xiqing, a fierce, wild gong x a gentle, cunning shou. Hu Xiqing is a fox who has lived for a thousand years, from ancient times to the modern day. This poor fox lost his inner core a thousand years ago and hasn’t dared to reveal his true form since. Kun Chen is a Qiongqi who has lived for four thousand years. This Qiongqi is a god who fled the heavens, and this god has had a hard life too: after living four thousand years, he spent three thousand trapped in a sacred mountain, then left the heavenly realm and sealed himself away for another thousand years. One day, the Qiongqi and the fox meet in modern society. Content warnings (important): 【Ensemble cast】, 【lots of characters】. (Very important: this is an ensemble story. If you don’t enjoy ensemble casts, don’t read it.) 【Readers who require devoted, exclusive relationships, proceed with caution】. (Very important.) 【Not entirely innocent】. (This is important, dear readers. Zhou Mu has marked it clearly. Don’t expect a fluffy romance; this isn’t a fairy tale. There’s no distinction between main and secondary couples. No distinction, no distinction, no distinction. Not innocent, not innocent, not innocent. This story really isn’t innocent. There’s angst, there’s angst, there’s angst.) 【Past and present intertwine, with lots of flashbacks】. (Important.) 【The story isn’t only about the protagonists and their main couple】, 【many other people feature】. (Important.) There are bad people, not just good ones. (Important.) There are wartime scenes, and some chapters are quite brutal. (Important.) If you insist on devoted, exclusive relationships, don’t read this. If you’re looking for a fluffy romance, don’t read this. If it’s not to your taste, don’t force yourself to read it. Just drop it and don’t get worked up. Peace and love Theme: Peace and Love. Oppose war and cherish the hard-won peace
