The Virtueless Fiend

Bai Linyuan was terrified as a child when he saw the neighbor spit disgusting worms out of his mouth. A hospital checkup found nothing wrong, and for the next twenty years, he never gave it another thought. He never imagined he'd have his own worldview turned upside down one day.

Feng Dichen was kicked out of the sect by the master who raised him for eighteen years. He doesn't know that his supposed mission is actually to help Bai Linyuan recover a missing soul and two spirits. Memories of his past life slowly begin to resurface.

(This blurb is serious enough.)

Actually, it's just a sweet story about a self-important writer meeting a silly, guileless young Taoist, with their past and present lives hopelessly entangled.

Theme: Improve your literary skills, develop in every way, never stop living or learning, trust science, and reject superstition. Talk of ghosts and spirits is all nonsense!
