☆ Hot-blooded, career-minded female immortal x love-struck demon king

☆ Martial arts style, Chinese supernatural folklore

*

To accumulate merit and become a god again, Cang Ming works diligently to catch ghosts and root out evil. She'll take a job if there's money in it, and even if there isn't.

It isn't until she arrives in Fenggui City that Cang Ming feels she really has seen a ghost.

Not only does she mistake a gorgeous young man for a thief and arrest him, she also ends up chasing a pair of embroidered-shoe demons all over the place.

And while she's at it, she runs into two old friends she fell out with years ago.

One of her former friends is a cool, glamorous older woman, sharp-tongued but prone to falling asleep at the drop of a hat. The other is a sharp-tongued human calculator who runs a haunted inn and thinks about money all day.

For the sake of merit, Cang Ming shakes off her two rivals and focuses on keeping an eye on the embroidered shoes.

When she is surrounded by enemies, the gorgeous young man drops from the sky to help her fight, then insists on becoming her subordinate.

Cang Ming and the gorgeous young man follow the trail all the way to a ghost cave, only to run into their two old friends again.

Cang Ming: You two... are here to steal my merit?

This strange, hastily assembled team sets off on a sightseeing tour of the underworld.

Following the clues left by the embroidered-shoe demon, the group investigates as they go, encountering demons and ghosts of every kind.

A snow-carved woman king who looks down on everyone, a lotus-loving old man full of tender affection, a living person who has dwelled in the underworld for ages...

At first, Cang Ming thinks this is just an ordinary merit-earning job.

Until the gorgeous young man reminds her: General, you really don't know about the conspiracy behind all this?

Cang Ming: Who's behind it?

He asks again: General, you really don't remember who I am?

Reader advisory:

The embroidered-shoe demon who appears first is a little frightening, but there is no gore.
