I Inherited a Yokai Inn

“Do you believe that they live on the other side of the world?” Xiaoqi was an ordinary college student until she took over the Peach Blossom Inn and unexpectedly inherited her grandmother’s mysterious “Monster Ledger.” From then on, she opened a door to a world where fantasy and reality intertwined. The ledger held many secrets: it served as proof of contracts, a vessel for sealed memories, and a seal on good and evil. It also carried the blessings of divine beasts and the hidden stories of countless monsters. The beckoning cat in front of the inn concealed a Kui Ox that had come riding the wind and thunder, becoming a guardian who was both mentor and friend. The Bóqí bird slipped into dreams, taking her through a thousand years of joys and sorrows. The book monsters Golden House and Yan Ruyu became a treasure trove of knowledge, always ready to offer her guidance... And with the inn’s human employees about to retire, a “Monster Workplace Succession Plan” quietly got underway. For example: “The Nine-Tailed Fox Xuan Yue Arc” The riverside village was beset by danger, as a merchant’s schemes encroached on nature. How would Xiaoqi help the nine-tailed fox, who was fighting against humans to protect her home, and persuade her to become the inn’s gentle receptionist? After she had turned the inn into a place run entirely by monster employees, it naturally attracted the attention of the cultivation sects of the age. Just when the inn had finally earned official recognition and she thought she could keep running it as before, a storm capable of reshaping the world closed in around it. The True Revival Sect! This evil organization, whose ultimate goal was to resurrect Chi You, actually planned to tear the inn apart. To seize the ledger in Xiaoqi’s hands, Xiaoqi would have to grow strong enough to protect the monsters she wanted to protect. But when monsters within the inn began to betray her, everything took a frightening turn, and Xiaoqi gradually became the key to overcoming this calamity... A little note: The story is now moving toward a long-form plot. In the first half, Xiaoqi uses the Monster Ledger to sign monsters on as inn employees, and tells the stories of all kinds of monsters. The second half focuses on the heroine’s growth. The male lead is a proper cultivator who goes undercover at the inn before becoming the heroine’s ally. Key highlights: Contract ledger + inn management: Two intertwined storylines, with episodic monster tales alongside the growth arc of the monster employees gradually gathering together. A guide to traditional monsters surviving in the modern world: From environmental pollution to workplace crises, monsters have to keep up with the times and face modern challenges too. Light comedy + a healing atmosphere: Funny everyday moments and moving scenes go hand in hand, with a carefully constructed setting that still feels warm. The taboo against “harming humans”: A hidden constraint on the monsters’ actions that adds dramatic tension and moral dilemmas. “On the ledger are contracts; beneath the ledger are people’s hearts.” Now, open the doors of the Peach Blossom Inn and witness a tender encounter that crosses the boundaries between species. Theme: This ledger records the memories shared between us and the monsters. Some entries are promises between friends, some are signed contracts, and some record the kindnesses I’ve received from them, among other things.
