A Guide to Passing the Road Test

A half-immortal examinee who can handle demons and ghosts × a cold-faced examiner who knows nothing of human feelings

(This book will probably be about 350,000 words long. More than half the map has been explored so far. Come join us!)

In the Half the Sky neighborhood on Minzhu Road in Baizhou City, there was a half-immortal named Gray Half-Immortal. His blind eyes were blue, yet he could distinguish demons and monsters and see the past. He had a hideous face, but an exceptionally striking disciple.

The young disciple was named Cen Bai. Handsome and gifted, he had been able to see spirits since childhood. Whether it was fortune-telling and divination for the righteous path, or swindling and cheating for the crooked path, he could do it all with a word. He could draw talismans and wield copper coins, earning himself the nickname "Little Half-Immortal."

Despite all her abilities, she got tripped up during the practical driving test!

Her bad luck was that the test fell on the thirty-first, the Ghost Festival. Before leaving, Cen Bai had consulted the fortune sticks and learned that good and bad fortune would go hand in hand. But she hadn't expected a ghostly shadow to come rushing at the car window as soon as she got in.

Cen Bai gripped a Chenzhou talisman in her hand, caught between two choices. If she got out to deal with the ghostly shadows, she'd fail the test. But if she didn't, the car wouldn't move at all.

She couldn't take it anymore. She unfastened her seat belt, and the System immediately issued a prompt: "Test failed. Please drive the car back to the starting point and prepare to take the test again!"

When she turned around, all the ghostly shadows had vanished, as if she'd only imagined them.

Cen Bai finished her test and went home as usual, thinking that once the day was over, things would be fine. But when she woke up, it was still the thirty-first, the Ghost Festival!

She didn't need to fail again to understand: she'd been trapped in a cycle. As long as she couldn't pass the practical driving test, she'd be stuck repeating the Ghost Festival forever!

She had no choice but to ask her master for help and get Gray Half-Immortal to find her a cheat code. Otherwise, she'd never pass the practical test!

314 was the last soul-guiding banner in the underworld. He had a number but no name, and was as cold and impersonal as a string of digits.

He had never entered the cycle of reincarnation and didn't understand the rules of the human world. He was like a cold machine without a heartbeat.

The first time Cen Bai saw him, she thought he was a completely emotionless, unapproachable ghost.

But she couldn't help it. She coveted his looks and had chosen this ghost official from among the candidates to be her cheat code.

The ghost official's duties included, but were not limited to, catching ghosts and guiding souls. Cen Bai was 314's last client. According to the rules of the underworld, once he completed this final task, helping Cen Bai pass her practical driving test, his karmic merits would be complete and he could enter the cycle of reincarnation as a human.

The trouble was that this final task was SSS+ rank, with one problem after another. The client was troublesome and demanding, and his Yu Zhang artifact failed him at a crucial moment. The situation was truly dire!

Reading guide: Both leads are inexperienced in love. The romance develops at a slightly slow pace. Happy ending.
