Tan Xiao, heir to a famous family of folk shamans in Chu Province, grew up being shown off to tourists and taught at home:

"We're inheritors of an intangible cultural heritage, keepers of folk traditions, and official mascots... You must get into a good university and come back to help build our cultural tourism brand into something big and strong."

Tan Xiao: "Got it. I'll carry on the tradition scientifically and major in physics, chemistry, and math."

Who could've guessed that the first time he led a sacrificial rite, it would... actually work?!!

Tan Xiao: ?

Even more surprising, the one who answered the rite became his classmate.

Tan Xiao: ???

Tan Xiao: Wait, what? Even immortals have to take the college entrance exam these days?

Kong Xuan, son of Yuan Feng, was peerlessly handsome across the Three Realms.

He came down to the human world as a transfer student at No. 1 High School in Nanchu City, and the whole school was stunned by his beauty.

Tan Xiao asked Kong Xuan, "Have you seen where Kong Xuan went?"

Kong Xuan: "...You don't know what Kong Xuan looks like?"

Tan Xiao, who had severe face blindness: "That many people are staring at him, so he must be pretty good-looking."

Kong Xuan: "..."

They say Tan Xiao from Class Three is incredibly aloof. He ignores everyone he sees on the street, whether they're classmates or teachers.

Tan Xiao: "...Ah, those people are my classmates?"

Later,

Kong Xuan: "Come with me to catch a demon."

Tan Xiao: "...Sigh, how about after evening study?"

With demons and ghosts appearing everywhere, Tan Xiao charged into the front lines and slaughtered his way through them.

Everyone in the business, along with the ghosts and monsters, was stunned: "Aren't you supposed to be the mascot?!"

*Updates are scheduled for nine in the morning. A lighthearted, ridiculous everyday-life story mixing the supernatural, demons, food, and school life.
