On Lin Chu’s first day unemployed, he ran into ghosts three times.

A female ghost stalked him at the bus stop, the bus was a ghost bus, his rented apartment was a coffin house, and even when he opened a noodle shop, only ghosts came in.

By day, Lin Chu pretended to be a fortune-teller; by night, he ran his noodle shop, sometimes even experimenting with new flavors.

Ghost: Your handmade noodles are awful. Just give me a bowl of instant noodles.

Lin Chu: …

They were terrible, but business was so good that he accidentally became the underworld’s top-tier star.

Reader’s guide:

A lighthearted power fantasy, modern urban supernatural, metaphysics, doted-on crowd favorite, noodle shop with terrible cooking

Shou-focused, plot-driven, gong makes his proper entrance later on

The shou is unbeatable in a fight (he uses the gong as a weapon)

Coming soon: I, the Nine-Tailed Fox, a Celestial Master of My Time

Blurb: Hu Buyu, a socially anxious nine-tailed fox who’d been cultivating in seclusion, woke up to find his home gone, bored through by a developer.

Forced to descend the mountain, he discovered that the world had changed beyond recognition. Spiritual energy was as thin as smog, the masters were as weak as quails, and his old neighbors had become great monsters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

He casually drew a talisman, and they called it “a lost ancient divine technique.” He yawned, and they said it was “a dragon’s roar containing the principles of Heaven and Earth.” He pulled out a blade of grass to feed a rabbit, and they called it “a celestial herb seen once in ten thousand years.”

A socially anxious nine-tailed fox was hard-sold by a crowd of “masters” as an unparalleled “celestial master of his time.”

Watching the endless stream of believers seeking help to drive out evil spirits, the socially anxious celestial master forced to work sighed: Please, everyone, cut me some slack. This fox is scared of ghosts too!

The Real Young Master and His Online-Dating Big Brother Get a Happy Ending

In May, Mianmian received an unexpected message from the capital. The sender claimed to be his biological parents, transferred fifty million to his adoptive parents, and told him to return to the capital.

Mianmian timidly messaged his online boyfriend: I’m so scared. What if my birth parents and older brother don’t like me?

Online boyfriend: Who could be so tasteless as not to like my adorable Mianmian baby?

In a private room, someone teased Shen Ci: “Are you comforting your online boyfriend again? The real young master of the Shen family is about to come back. You’re just going to let this happen?”

Shen Ci put away his phone and said with a laugh, “He’s just a kid from some little town. What kind of trouble can he cause? In less than three months, he’ll be sent right back where he came from.”

Three months later

Shen Ci held him on his lap and kissed him tenderly, coaxing him in a husky voice: “Mianmian, stay in the capital forever. If you have to leave… will you take me with you?”
