Summary

In a world where humans rule the day and the children of darkness rule the night, the two coexist. The exorcist Yuwen Wuji enrolls at a university for the wealthy—mockingly called a "premium daycare"—under the guise of an ordinary student, concealing his innate crimson ghost eyes. Early in his studies he encounters a mysterious companion, and as he deals with supernatural incidents and battles demons, he is gradually drawn into deeper grudges and feuds that reveal the fated bonds between him and his father and companions. Blending campus daily life, folkloric strange tales, and demon-slaying combat, the work uses folk practices such as spirit writing to explore the historical origins and scientific explanations behind paranormal phenomena.

Editor's review

The subject is campus paranormal plus spirit-banishing battles, and the protagonist's ghost-eye setup is distinctive; everyday snark and folkloric research are woven in, making it an easy read. Suitable for readers who enjoy urban weird tales and aren't after hardcore horror. The flaws are a slow opening, numerous repetitive passages, and a colloquial style that limits its appeal for serious paranormal-horror fans.
