Occult Mysteries + Variety Show | Lazy Ghost Immortal x Considerate CEO
(1)
Song Qi, courtesy name Youwu.
In life, he passed the imperial examinations with top honors three times in a row, while also joining the occult sect, slaying demons, and taking on disciples. Later generations called him a young genius, peerless in all the world.
A thousand years later, Song Youwu, whose history books say he "died young," sits up in his coffin, long hair loose, and stares blankly at Sheng Mian, a half-trained celestial master who has woken him.
A member of my own lineage, no less. What a disgrace to the sect.

Sheng Mian is a young scion of the family who took over the family business at an early age. Silent, meticulous, decisive, and elegantly handsome, he fulfills every bookworm's fantasy of an aloof, abstinent CEO.
Most importantly, tracing the Sheng family tree back reveals that their ancestor was Song Qi, a renowned scholar of the Eastern Zhou and Sheng Mian's master.
Sheng Mian's life was uneventful and smooth, until the world's first signs of supernatural resurgence appeared. Because his family had a registered yin-yang eye, he was forcibly recruited and became a part-time celestial master, complete with an official position and assigned quotas.
On his first day on the job, Sheng Mian's target ignored the ancestral exorcism talisman and calmly sat up in a coffin.

Sheng Mian was forced to bring this "ghost" home, where he unexpectedly discovered that although Song Youwu was fussy and hard to please, he was exceptionally skilled at "ghost hunting."
So when the organization selected Sheng Mian to join an occult variety show teaching practical exorcism tips, he decisively brought Song Youwu along.
No matter what supernatural phenomena the production team encountered, Song Youwu always lazily trailed behind Sheng Mian, ordering him to serve tea and water and making a show of directing him while he exorcised evil. He only ever used his mouth, never his hands. The viewers all thought he was a pretty face who had hitched a ride to fame.
Until the production team accidentally wandered into the perilous ancestral shrine of the Sheng family, deep in the mountains. Countless vicious ghosts surged forward, eager to tear into fresh flesh and blood. In an instant, everyone's lives hung in the balance.
Song Youwu looked lazy, his gaze indifferent. Blood-red threads shot from his fingertips, their savage killing intent blotting out the sky as they wrapped around the vicious ghosts and sliced their bodies apart.
As everyone watched in stunned silence, Song Youwu casually took the water from Sheng Mian's hand, drank, then looked up and asked:
"Want to learn this move?"
Even the usually composed Sheng Mian stared behind him in shock.
Confused, Song Youwu followed Sheng Mian's gaze.
The blood threads had cut open the gates of the Sheng ancestral shrine, sealed for hundreds of years. In the glow of the ever-burning lamps stood a meticulous portrait of Song Qi, the founding patriarch of the occult sect.
He looked exactly like Song Youwu.
#The freeloader who got by on his looks is actually the founding patriarch of the occult sect
#What do I do when my crush is my grandmaster?
#Which game's character art looks most like the real Song Qi?
