I'm a Funeral Director, and I Make Spiritual Qi Revival Happen

Three upcoming stories: Livestream: Antique Appraisal Notes, Burning Heartthrob, Saving the Metaphysics World, and The Cannon Fodder Husband Becomes a Beloved After Going into Research. The antique story's blurb is below.

.

I've cleared the August 19 V-day with my editor. There'll be a 10,000-word update that day, so please show your support!

.

Hopeless-romantic ancient god gong, Qin Ye x calm and collected, occasionally rebellious funeral master shou, Yu Fengji

.

Washing the body, setting out the first meal for the deceased, keeping vigil, mourning, performing rites to guide the soul, placing the body in the coffin, sealing the coffin...

.

In his previous life, Yu Fengji was a funeral master. After dying an unnatural death, he was brought by his family's ancestral compass into the body of his parallel-world self.

.

This world is in the age of declining magic. His family still practices the ancestral trade of funeral mastery, but the tradition has died out with his generation.

.

He originally wanted to honor his father's dying wish and live an ordinary life, but through a twist of fate, he once again entered the funeral trade.

.

The spiritual qi of the land is gradually returning, and demons and ghosts that never disappeared are stirring up trouble once more.

.

He chooses to cleanse the world of evil and defend the mortal realm.

.

.

A prayer to summon the gods can invite immortals and deities to take their place, but he lacked the merit and fortune. In the past, no god had ever answered his call.

.

At last, in this world, a god hears his prayer...

.

"Today, your disciple Yu Fengji respectfully invites all the gods and buddhas of the heavens to descend and take their places!"

.

As soon as the words leave his lips, the fragrant incense transforms into a hundred billion clouds of smoke, and colorful auspicious clouds fill the sky. The underworld's Yin deities descend!

.

At Yu Fengji's request, they capture and punish evil ghosts, restoring peace and clarity to the mortal realm!

.

.

In his previous life, the underworld had yet to open, and the resentment between heaven and earth had nowhere to go. In this life, every scripture he recites and every soul he guides to rest helps unlock the underworld's seal.

.

Countless Yin deities awaken because of him. Order returns to the underworld, spiritual qi surges between heaven and earth, and spiritual qi revival begins.

.

An ancient god sealed in the depths of the underworld gazes down and carefully offers him a bright red rose.

.

It is a seed that happened to drift into his heart, one that must be nourished with the deepest love.

.

Even a god yearns for him to look their way.

.

Reader's guide:

1. Parallel world, spiritual qi revival.

2. Local customs are mostly based on those of my hometown, but plenty of things are made up.

3. Lots and lots of made-up details!

Coming soon: Livestream: Antique Appraisal Notes

Ye Zhihe transmigrates into a novel as a cannon-fodder character, a washed-up nobody in the entertainment industry. All his opportunities and appearances are stolen by Su Yu, a superstar newcomer who debuted at the same time as him.

.

By the time nobody in the entertainment industry even remembers him, his contract expires. Only then does he discover that he's the youngest son of the wealthy Su family, who went missing years ago.

.

When the original character returns to the Su family, he finds that his parents don't care for him, his older brother doesn't love him, and his older sister can't stand him. Someone else has already taken his place: Su Yu!

.

Everything he does is turned into a contrast that makes the protagonist Su Yu look kind, beautiful, and flawless, while he gets publicly humiliated over and over.

.

Unable to keep his emotions in check, the original character keeps courting disaster and framing Su Yu, until he ends up behind bars himself.

Ye Zhihe, who already had a Livestream appraisal System bound to him in his previous life: What does any of this have to do with me?

.

Is a blue-and-white dragon-patterned sweet dew vase not gorgeous? Or is an enamel-painted olive vase with blessing and longevity designs not beautiful?

What about the imperial phoenix-and-birds revolving vase, or the Jingtai imperial cloisonne lotus-patterned box?

.

There are so many antiques, there's bound to be one that catches your eye!

Before he knows it, Ye Zhihe goes viral through his antique appraisal Livestreams, recovering one lost national treasure after another.

He even becomes a famous collector in the cultural heritage world, a lucky charm for the antiques world, and a rising star in calligraphy!

.

Before long, his personal fortune surpasses that of the entire Su family.

His wealth, status, and talent leave the Su family far behind.

.

From Ye Zhihe's very first Livestream, Xiang Jingtong becomes his number one fan.

.

After successfully meeting his idol, Xiang Jingtong keeps wondering about one very serious question: How can he get his adorable wife to marry him?

.

One day, fans notice that the top donor has changed his username from "Shang, Falling Rain, Laughing at Extravagance" to "Happy Every Day." Then they discover something even more shocking: the streamer and the top donor are together.

.

So the fans change their name to "Laughing at Extravagance": Give our Mr. back to us!

Xiang Jingtong: No, no, no! He's mine!

Ye Zhihe: ...
