Ling Ge is known in the industry as a pretty face with nothing else to offer. After three years in the business, he's still a nobody. Rumors are flying that he's been kept by 360 different people, yet he still hasn't even made it to the third tier. In one word: pathetic.
As Ling Ge scrolled through entertainment news mocking him for being kept, he was so furious he puffed up like a pufferfish. Meanwhile, the red-clad vengeful ghost beneath his foot saw him distracted, snatched off its own head, clutched it to its chest, and scrambled toward the exit.
Ling Ge slapped a talisman on it, and its soul scattered into oblivion.
In reality, his obscure status in show business was just a cover! His real identity was the youngest vice president of the Celestial Masters Association, a Daoist priest ordained at Mount Longhu in its sixty-third generation, and the industry's greatest young prodigy in Daoist magic.
He was busy saving the world at night! How did citizens involved in his investigations cooperating with him turn into people keeping him? How dare those ignorant people slander him!
To make matters worse, the association president stroked his snowy white beard and kindly announced, "There's a major case that's just come in. The association will arrange a partner to help you investigate, someone with thick armor and plenty of stamina."
No time to explain, get in the car!
While he was busy investigating, a rumor spread online that Ling Ge had been kept for the 361st time. This time, it was by Qin Ang, an award-winning movie star known for keeping himself above reproach.
Qin Ang's fans immediately cursed Ling Ge into a spin.
This job was impossible. Ling Ge, earning one salary while taking two rounds of abuse, was speechless with frustration.
He really wanted to ask: how the hell did your minds get so twisted?!
Just then, the other person involved replied.
[Thank you. We're indeed together.]
