Summary

[Dual male leads + supernatural ghosts and spirits + metaphysics]

[Little dumpling shop owner x cold-faced demon hunter]

I am a demon hunter.

I got into this line purely by chance.

After graduating from university, I was supposed to take over the family dumpling shop and become a small boss, but my dad got swindled, and I had to make money to pay off his debts.

Coincidentally, just then I had just met a demon hunter—Chuyi. I had always thought this line of work wasn't very reliable, but after a few encounters, I found that this world seemed different from what I knew...

Out of curiosity, and to make some money, I entered the trade just like that.

There are far more bizarre things in this world than we imagine. Have you ever considered that monsters and ghosts might be hiding in every corner around us?

When the little dumpling shop owner meets the cold-faced demon hunter, how will they hunt demons and exorcise evil in the face of countless unheard-of monsters?

What awaits them in the future? A fantastical demon-hunting journey of two youths, telling demon-hunting stories you've never known.

Editor's review

Set against the backdrop of everyday street life, this book ingeniously stitches together the daily routine of a little dumpling shop owner and the strange world of demon hunters; the dual-male-lead pairing brings a relaxed interactive tension. Author Er Shisan injects many slice-of-life details into the supernatural subject, making monsters and ghosts no longer remote legends but hidden dangers lurking in the corners of streets and alleys—this sense of closeness is a standout highlight of the book. The narrative pace leans brisk, with demon-hunting incidents interwoven with the motive of repaying debt, lowering the heavy threshold of traditional metaphysical material. Suitable for fragmented reading time such as commuting or before bed, as an urban fantasy work with comic coloring, it offers a fairly smooth recreational experience. However, if you expect a rigorous metaphysical system or a deep horror atmosphere, the book's touch feels rather light. Overall, this is a character-relationship-driven demon-hunting story with a friendly atmosphere, suited to readers interested in dual-male-lead adventures and street-level fantasy.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Readers who enjoy dual-male-lead adventure and a relaxed interactive atmosphere
  • Readers interested in urban supernatural subject matter but who don't want overly frightening content
  • Readers who prefer a blend of everyday street-life flavor and fantasy settings
  • Students or office workers who want a light, recreational novel for fragmented time

Not a good fit for

  • Fact-checking readers seeking a rigorous metaphysical system or hardcore demon-hunting settings
  • Supernatural fans hoping for deep horror and thrilling atmosphere
  • Readers uninterested in the dual-male-lead relationship model

Reading tips

  1. You may first read the opening chapters to see whether the brisk, colloquial narration suits you before deciding on continuous reading.
  2. Treat demon-hunting incidents as episodic stories; there's no need to rush to sort out a grand main plot—read and pause as you like.
  3. Pay attention to dialogue details between the little shop owner and Chuyi while reading; character interaction is the main source of fun in this book.
  4. If you are sensitive to supernatural content, reading in daytime or a well-lit environment is recommended to reduce solitary nighttime reading.

FAQ

Is this book a horror novel? Is it very scary?
Judging from the material, this book belongs to the supernatural ghosts and spirits genre, but the overall narration has a relaxed, slice-of-life tone; the protagonist's motive for entering the trade is also tied to debt repayment and curiosity, rather than being centered on creating a horror atmosphere. For timid readers who want to try supernatural subject matter, acceptability is relatively high, though you should still choose your reading environment according to your sensitivity to ghost elements.
I've never read demon-hunting works. Can I read this book directly?
Yes. The story begins with the protagonist taking over the dumpling shop after university graduation and accidentally meeting the demon hunter Chuyi; it proceeds from an ordinary person's perspective into the demon-hunting world step by step. The prior-knowledge threshold is low; no advance knowledge of metaphysics or similar works' settings is needed—just follow the protagonist's cognitive process while reading.
What is the relationship between the two protagonists? Do they interact a lot?
The material indicates a dual-male-lead setup: one is the little dumpling shop owner, and the other is the cold-faced demon hunter Chuyi. The story revolves around the two facing monsters together after they meet, and character interaction is an important part of driving the plot. The specific direction of their relationship and the degree of emotional description should be based on the actual reading content.
