Wu Cheng, a descendant of Celestial Masters, was born with yin-yang eyes and a soul that could communicate with spirits. He was a once-in-a-century prodigy, and yet... he was afraid of ghosts.
All he wanted was to live an ordinary life. He went to university and got his teaching certificate, then couldn't find a job. Just as Wu Cheng was losing hope and preparing to change careers, he received an interview invitation from a private school.
But there was no interview to welcome him, only a warm welcome.
No overtime, generous pay, simple relationships with coworkers, and a welcome gift as soon as he joined. It all made him feel overwhelmed with gratitude. In a daze, he immediately signed the employment contract.
Wu Cheng had no suspicions. He prepared his lessons diligently and walked into the classroom early the next morning, ready to meet his lively little students. He had just opened the door when
This classroom is haunted!
The little girl in the second-to-last row was using a book to hide the fact that she was checking herself in a mirror. She looked like a vain schoolgirl secretly putting on makeup. But beneath her skin was plainly a skeleton. She was a Painted-Skin Ghost!
The little boy in the very center of the first row had delicate, feminine features. When he saw Wu Cheng come in, he looked him up and down with shimmering eyes and said softly, "Hello, teacher."
Hello, my ass. He's a three-hundred-year-old fox spirit!
Wu Cheng looked at the true forms of the ghosts filling the classroom. Even the empty seats were wreathed in wisps of ghostly energy. Terrified, he turned and bolted. But as soon as he reached the corner, the principal blocked his escape.
The principal handed him a contract and a magnifying glass with a beaming smile.
"I voluntarily accept employment at this school and become a proud teacher of ghosts and monsters. If I resign of my own accord before passing my probationary period, I will compensate the school two million yuan."
This is a scam?!
Later, he finally learned that he had been hired by a school for ghosts and monsters. Under the Joint International Convention on Ghosts, Monsters, and Humans, anyone who attends a school for ghosts and monsters for three years and passes the exams can obtain a visa allowing them to enter the human world. And he was the unlucky teacher who'd been duped.
To make it through probation and quit successfully, he ended up spending his mornings teaching a gluttonous Taotie who skipped class to gorge on the all-you-can-eat buffet, and his afternoons at the zoo with a Northeastern golden tabby spirit who wanted to conquer the human world. When he had a spare moment, he also had to stop an intern Meng Po from brewing soup in the dormitory.
But why, when he was being so stern, did these ghosts and monsters only cling to him more?
