[Shy but flirtatious heroine x stubborn, tsundere hero who has forgotten his roots]

A rift opens in spacetime, and another world invades. To find the lost artifact Yujing, which seals the Floating Life Scroll, the wolf demon Cang Qing sets out on a journey with five others.

The unremarkable junior brother: "Ten taels to catch a ghost."

The shrewd senior sister: "A set of strength pills costs ten gold."

The charlatan senior brother: "Fortune-telling and divination. If I'm wrong, you don't pay."

The charming young gentleman: "I'm the God of Wealth. I'm rich."

The penniless spirit-walker: "I'm broke. I have no money."

When the first secret identity is exposed:

His Highness Prince Sheng? The junior brother?

The Divine Healer? The senior sister?

The Master Diviner? The senior brother?

Commandery Princess Qiping? The young gentleman?

Judge of the Demon Affairs Bureau? The spirit-walker?

The second time their identities are exposed:

You?! You're...? How could you be...?!

They all accuse one another: "Can't people on the same team be honest for once?"

The master diviner, their senior brother: "So I'm the only honest one?"

The third time:

"He's a god in mortal form!"

Everyone: "Big deal... Wait, what?! Who?"

All six of them are hiding several layers of secret identities, and the heroine's are like an onion, one layer after another!

[Ensemble cast, road-trip story. One artifact and one location per arc. Not set in a purely ancient world. Please ignore any anachronistic terms used for comedic effect.]

-

A slow-burn epic with mildly scary episodic stories, spanning sixteen volumes. The main cast members appear gradually, and the six of them don't officially team up until Volume Six.

[Twofold Jade]: The River God Temple has strange rules, and anyone who breaks them will die.

[Vault Spirit Jade]: On a ship with no help in sight, a little ghost who eats human brains appears, killing one person a day.

[Dust-Dispelling Zither]: The courtesan at Spring Breeze House, the beautiful female ghost in a painting, and the piles of bones on Bewilderment Mountain all point to one answer.

[Four Directions Inkstone]: If you don't get out within an hour, you'll be shattered.

[Flower-Bidding Mirror]: "This village doesn't welcome young men."

[Soul-Guiding Lamp]: White hair, no home, two tear-streaked cheeks.

[Devout Heart Furnace]: Attention! Do not eat the food here. The strange worms inside the dead can spread to you.

[Poison-Worship Cup]: In Miao territory, Gu poison demands a life for a life. The god's bride goes in, but never returns.

[Everlasting Life Bell]: All the gods and Buddhas in heaven, please give her back to me.
