Rule Horror: Starting as a Civil Affairs Office Registrar

In the modern city, spirits run rampant and ghosts lurk in the shadows. Unregistered supernatural marriages invite retribution from the Heavenly Dao, leaving nonhuman beings struggling to get by. Shen Mo joins the Civil Affairs Bureau’s Office of Supernatural Marriage Registration. Armed with the “Lawful Eye,” which can see through every loophole in a contract, he becomes the ultimate arbiter balancing cause and effect between the two worlds. From fox spirits marrying mortals and ghost wives demanding blood debts to mountain gods taking brides and dragon girls exchanging wedding vows… “Name?” “Tushan Li.” “Species?” “Nine-tailed celestial fox.” “Spouse?” “Zhang Wei, a sophomore in the civil engineering department at Jiangcheng University.” Shen Mo adjusts his glasses. Facing a stunning fox spirit whose overwhelming aura fills the room, he taps the official red document on the desk. “Under Article Four of the Regulations on Marriage Between Humans and Demons, a nonhuman being marrying a mortal must provide a harmless fortune guarantee, three years of tax records, and a written promise to give up human sacrifices.” “But… we made a blood pact three thousand years ago!” A faint glimmer passes through Shen Mo’s eyes as the Lawful Eye instantly sees through the Heavenly Dao’s fatal knot in the yellowed scroll. He replies calmly: “Clause Three of the blood pact says ‘until death do us part,’ but he lived out his natural lifespan in his previous life. The contract has expired automatically. Want to force a renewal? Take the first left outside. The Supernatural Riot Squad is investigating illegal crossings.” “If you want to live among humans, come sign the paperwork first.”
