[Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio] The Suit-Wearing Immortal

Overworked office drone Xie Huai stumbled upon an old copy of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio and accidentally transmigrated into its pages.

It was the final years of a dynasty. War ravaged the land, and ghosts and monsters roamed the mortal world, terrorizing the people.

Xie Huai landed right on the altar where villagers were performing a ritual. Faced with the suspicious crowd, she had no choice but to pretend to be a charlatan, setting out on a path of exorcising demons and defending the righteous.

After mastering talismans, compasses, and peachwood swords, Xie Huai discovered that she had returned to the modern world and could travel freely between the two realms. And so began her miserable life of working by day and slaying demons on the side...

The ghosts and monsters: "Any last words before you die?"

Xie Huai sighed. "Could you try not to ruin my suit when we fight? I have to clock in tomorrow morning."

Episodic, with a leveling-up progression, supernatural folklore atmosphere, and a heroine who travels between two worlds. The plot comes first, and the romance develops slowly.

Theme: Love isn't everything in life. Work is.
