The Evil Spirit Takes Any Job

[Complete! My new novel, Do You Think I'm a Good Support?, is now available for preorders. See my author page, and please add it to your collection if you're interested!] As an evil spirit, Lin Yexian was born against his will. To make ends meet, he applied to the Soul-Calming Office for a shop, only to be assigned an antique store on the verge of going out of business. Luckily, he has a few tricks up his sleeve. While running the shop, he fixes up the worthless counterfeits piled in storage and takes on any job that comes his way: ghost hunting, fortune-telling, feng shui consultations, compatibility readings, and more. He manages to get by. Then one day, someone from the Soul-Calming Office shows up and says they've found an item from his shop in an ancient tomb. Someone used it to summon a spirit and, through a forbidden ritual, bind him in a ghost marriage to a powerful bigshot... Lin Yexian: What the hell? I don't accept this marriage! What does it have to do with me?! Soul-Calming Office: You take every job that comes your way, don't you? Why not take this one and calm the bigshot down? Lin Yexian: [thinking.jpg] I might be willing, but it'll cost extra! [Important: This story is entirely fictional. Don't believe in feudal superstition. Trust science!!] A friendly reminder: 1. They dote on each other, 1v1, happy ending, sweet romance. Read without worry. 2. The seme appears fairly late, so please be patient. 3. The story includes a lot of original worldbuilding. Any material quoted from other sources will be credited. Theme: You protect others, and others protect you too.
