The Occult Expert Only Wants to Collect Rent and Support His Wife

Liu Shiyin was a nominal Daoist priest at a temple during the Yongjin era. Every day, besides warding off evil, telling fortunes, and catching ghosts, his favorite things were slacking off and sleeping. Who would have thought that an accident would send his soul three hundred years into the future, where he became a landlord with a building to his name? His job was to lounge around at home, collect rent, and play games every day. Liu Shiyin: Great. I can lie flat and live like a lazy fish now. But before long, his tenants started running into trouble one after another. One night, his new tenant frantically called him over and over, saying he had seen a ghost! At first, Liu Shiyin said, “No way. What ghost would be so blind as to wander onto my turf?” But when he walked into the tenant's room, his face darkened at once. There really was something with no sense of direction... A palm-sized puppet appeared before Liu Shiyin. It had no yin energy, yet could run and jump. Acquired: 1 puppet Their first night together: Liu Shiyin nearly got bitten. He promptly locked the puppet in a drawer and sealed it with a talisman. In the end, though, it still escaped, just in the wrong direction... Why was this little idiot chasing after him? The second time they met: Liu Shiyin skillfully called for Little Blackface, and a puppet appeared in his pocket. The puppet was ferocious, though. It ate ghosts on sight. Little Blackface: “Let's see who dares bully him!” Liu Shiyin: “Want to eat a couple more?” As time went on, Liu Shiyin discovered that the little puppet would bring him clothes when he came out of the shower wearing nothing but a towel. It also loved chasing after him with sticky notes and a pen, trying to get him to study. Liu Shiyin, who only liked fortune-telling and had a terrible sense of direction, said, “Studying? Not a chance. I'll never learn feng shui in this lifetime.” Some time later: After discovering that the little puppet was his lover from a past life, Liu Shiyin silently picked up a feng shui book thick as a brick. “I love studying. Studying makes me happy. For my beloved, I'll give it everything I've got.” Thinking of how he'd once wanted to flush the little puppet down the toilet, Liu Shiyin said, “I take it all back. This is great ^ ^” When netizens heard that power in Jiangcheng's wealthy Xu family had changed hands, they were intensely curious and started speculating. Would the eldest Xu son take over smoothly, or would the second son seize power? They speculated back and forth, never imagining that the one who would take over was the Xu family's youngest son, Xu Linyan, who was disabled and could only get around in a wheelchair! When they later learned he was involved with Liu Shiyin, the famous Jiangcheng exorcist, netizens' jaws dropped, and the topic exploded on the trending list! “Weren't they supposed to be doomed to be alone, with the fate of a star cursed to be solitary?” “I'm still single, so how did he find someone?” “Not only does he have a boyfriend, he's rich, too!” “Fine. Turns out I'm the clown.” The wealthy businessmen, movie stars, and Taoist priests who wanted Liu Shiyin to tell their fortunes or read their faces but couldn't find him all flocked to the trending topic to leave messages: “Mr. Xu, let's do business together. You can have all the profits. Just get your boyfriend to tell my fortune!” “Mr. Xu, I hear you've just opened a gaming company. I'll endorse it for free. Just ask your partner to read my palm!” “Mr. Xu, want a magical artifact? I'll give you one. Just ask your boyfriend to start a class!” Liu Shiyin: “Starting a class can't compare to spending time with my wife.” Xu Linyan: “My boyfriend is always right.” (earnest face) Reader's guide: → One-on-one romance, with the gong as the pursuer; they dote on each other. → A metaphysics expert gong who tells fortunes and exorcises ghosts while falling in love and raising his little wife, as his tenants keep encountering ghosts and trouble VS a pitiful yet fierce shou, a split-personality little puppet in the early chapters and a domineering CEO later on, who has a disability and uses a wheelchair. → All metaphysical knowledge is made up. This work has nothing to do with reality and is entirely fictional. Do not apply it to real life. Do not believe in feudal superstition; believe in science. Please add my next novel, “The Sickly Young Master's Bodyguard,” to your to-read list! The title and blurb are tentative. Song Haiwen, a wealthy man in S City, suddenly dies, and his son Song Chuzhou takes over. His first move isn't to reorganize the company and secure his position. Instead, he announces a job opening to the public: bodyguard wanted. The requirements are both normal and outrageous. In short, applicants must: 1. Know martial arts 2. Be good-looking 3. Be obedient 4. Provide personal, attentive service Soon, someone with too much time on their hands posts the requirements online, and netizens say the boss knows how to have fun. “Is it just me, or does ‘personal, attentive service’ sound suggestive?” “Does that mean eating, drinking, and sleeping together?” “Is this a bodyguard they're hiring? It's clearly a devoted wife!” Quite a few people wonder whether anyone will actually apply. As it turns out, plenty do. The pay is simply too good, and the leaked photos show that Song Chuzhou is incredibly beautiful. Getting into his bed would be worth it! But despite the endless stream of applicants, no one wins the coveted position over the next three months. Just as people begin to suspect this is some kind of marketing ploy and all sorts of rumors spread, the Song Group announces that their young master has found a bodyguard! Now everyone is curious. Who managed to stand out from the crowd? Not long afterward, when people see the tall man standing behind Chuzhou at a public event, they understand... A dark-skinned hunk! So the young master likes this type! Song Chuzhou and Shen Lie first meet in his bedroom. In front of the wide floor-to-ceiling windows, Song Chuzhou looks at Shen Lie coldly and says his first words to him: “Take your clothes off.” Guiding principle: Get along harmoniously, help one another, and protect public property.
