Synopsis
Kong Qing, a monk raised with a surprising mix of traditional scriptures and modern internet access, leaves his mountain sanctuary to search for his lost family. Along his journey, he utilizes his supernatural training to exorcise demons and build a fortune. This reads like a modern urban fantasy blending 'cultivation in the city' tropes with a supernatural mystery, similar to stories where ancient arts clash with secular life. It is ideal for readers who enjoy the 'strong-strong' dynamic in BL and supernatural investigations. Those seeking a gritty, dark horror without comedic relief should skip it. The narrative moves efficiently through its completed run, balancing lighthearted character interactions with a central revenge plot and a larger conspiracy. The standout quality is the comedic irony of a devout monk who is equally comfortable with a computer as he is with a mantra.

Editorial Review
This completed BL novel offers a refreshing take on the urban supernatural genre by contrasting traditional monasticism with modern sensibilities. The primary strength lies in the character dynamics; pairing the disciplined yet internet-savvy Kong Qing with the morally ambiguous Zuo Huan creates a compelling 'strong-strong' tension that drives the plot forward. However, the narrative's brevity is a notable drawback. With only 127 chapters, the transition from demon-hunting for profit to resolving a terrifying conspiracy feels somewhat condensed, potentially sacrificing depth in the world-building to reach the conclusion. While the chemistry between the leads is palpable, the plot's scale feels slightly too large for the available page count. Overall, it is a tight, focused read that prioritizes character interaction over expansive lore, making it an accessible entry for fans of the genre.
