My Years as a Celestial Master

1. Zhang Chuchen's blurb: I'm a descendant of the Celestial Master Zhang Daoling. Everyone in my family can communicate with spirits, but I'm the only one without Yin-Yang Eyes. I often feel inferior.

Still, though I'm a good-for-nothing Celestial Master, at least I took in a gifted genius as my apprentice. I often feel like I'm too useless to deserve to be her master... Sob.

Luckily, my disciple doesn't look down on me. She even promised to be my Yin-Yang Eyes for the rest of my life. I'm so touched. I'll repay her by marrying her, of course!

Just as we fall in love and meet each other's families, we discover that we were switched at birth: my disciple is the true descendant of the Celestial Master, while I've been poor for half my life and am actually the wealthy real heiress. Well... that came out of nowhere.

2. Han Xiaofei's blurb: I was born with Yin-Yang Eyes and Ears, and can communicate with ghosts and monsters. But everyone thinks I'm a fraud and says I have a mental illness, which has caused me no end of distress.

Until one day, I meet a gorgeous, long-legged woman in a miniskirt. She's an exorcist and Celestial Master, and I think she's amazing, so I become her apprentice and begin our glorious journey.

Later, I discover that I'm actually a descendant of the Zhang clan of Celestial Masters. No wonder I can communicate with spirits.

...But isn't this supposed to be a supernatural story? Why is there a plot about switched heiresses?

3. Qi Shaoyi's blurb: Don't let my youthful beauty fool you. I'm over 460 years old. Don't let my immortality fool you. I try to get myself killed almost every day. Don't let my aloofness fool you. I'm a shameless simp.

Long ago, I fell in love with someone. Later, she died, so I didn't want to live either, but... I just wouldn't die.

Recently, I've sensed her presence.

I know she's back.

Chuchu, I never want to be separated from you by life and death again.

4. Chuchu's blurb: I am the Empress of the Earth, the Great Earth Mother, revered for my heavenly virtue and boundless benevolence. If that title is too long, you may call me Mother Earth or Lady Houtu.

The Grim Reaper has torn up the treaty, and chaos is about to descend upon the human world. I must step in and stop it.

Oh? Isn't that the dashing anti-pirate general from several centuries ago? She's still alive!

Wow! She has transcended the six paths of reincarnation and is no longer bound by the five elements. No wonder even the ears of the underworld couldn't hear anything about her...

Um... So I came to the human world on a business trip and brought myself a wife on the way back...?

P.S. The writing style is gentle and understated, with nothing frightening or horrifying. Highly recommended for people who like ghost stories but are too scared to read them.

There are no secondary characters; Qi Shaoyi and Zhang Chuchen have the most scenes, but each has her own pairing.

Qi Shaoyi x Chuchu: Devoted simp x powerful wife-doting boss

Zhang Chuchen x Han Xiaofei: good-for-nothing master and real heiress x genius apprentice and fake heiress

Theme: With faith in your heart, why fear demons and monsters?
