Liaozhai: My Thousand-Soul Banner

share time: 2026-01-24 12:31:26

Lin Chuan, a corporate slave, was bound to the "Thousand-Soul Banner System" while binging *Liaozhai* late at night, waking up in a parallel modern city where Liaozhai's monsters and ghosts hide in plain sight—Nie Xiaoqian works part-time at a milk tea shop to pay off a millennium-old debt, a fox demon cries in an office cubicle after being yelled at by a client, and even ghosts squat in corners mourning their彩礼 scammed by gold diggers. His mission? Collect 1000 "wronged souls" with the banner. But the system’s quests are all anti-cliché: help the fox demon fix her PPT to win the client, get the ghosts’彩礼 back, and even act out a "couple quarrel" with Xiaoqian to earn tearful souls? Worse, the "soul power" from the banner is used to fix pipes for neighbors or shield interns from drinking at work—where’s the immortal cultivation and counterattack? Until he realizes, those "wronged souls" he helped have quietly turned his corporate slave life into a "urban folklore savior" story, and the hot milk tea Xiaoqian hands him holds a thousand years of gentle affection.
