I Have a Little Spell

The laws of Heaven and Earth, the principles of space and time, the Twelve Bronze Tablets of the End, the Sixteen Pillars of the Sea of Magic. “Little spells”? They are also the myriad Great Ways: grasp the ancient Way and use it to govern the present. Collecting and cataloguing curios is no easy job. Even modern cultivators can hold their own in the city. How do spirits and magical beasts adapt to modern life? Are the Night Watchers really just a bunch of “cold-blooded” people in black? Wrong. That’s the Cliffside Affairs Response Bureau. The surging tides of spiritual energy, the revival of ancient gods and darkness? The praise of humanity is the praise of courage! If there is no light from here on, then I will raise the torch and become the only light. A pot of fine tea holds the beauty of past and present. I raise my cup in tribute to the clarity of Heaven and Earth. Simply put, this is a story about Yu Wenshu bringing hope to a new century and gathering hope, encountering more and more supernatural things, matching wits with schemers, and finding his place in a gentle world. I am Yu Wenshu, scholar of the starry river, the first and last heir to the Sea of Magic, an unofficial slacker among the Night Watchers, mediator for the Orderly Council, grand performer at the Chord Orchard, expert and combat envoy for the Collection Court, a traveler of the Astral Realm, and the continuation of all things.
