A Mortal Cultivator’s Bookkeeping

Protagonist: Shen Tang, a modern auditor who transmigrates into another world. A mortal with no spiritual root, he works as a bookkeeper for the Qingyun Sect.

Core personality: Extremely practical, with a deeply ingrained focus on costs. He's afraid of dying, but even more afraid of dying for nothing. He smiles on the surface while his mind constantly crunches the numbers. He doesn't covet, act rashly, or play the hero. He believes, "You have to stay alive to make the next entry in the ledger." He's almost obsessively sensitive to numbers, and understands relationships as "accounts receivable and payable": borrow and repay, give and take. He can be a bit loose-tongued at times, but knows what can be said and what must stay buried.
