Introduction Zhiwei: Zhong Kui Is Here
My name is Chen Yanzhi, when you read this paragraph...
Ahem, I should be alive for the time being.
I emptied the chassis of my home and went to a used bookstore, but that night I encountered a vicious ghost demanding my life.
Just when I was about to be strangled to death, a wooden sign bought at a street stall suddenly glowed red.
Then a man in a pink suit walked out of the void, raised his hand and slapped the female ghost away.
He is the master I picked up for free, the chief officer of the Underworld Punishment Department!
Zhong Kui and Mr. Zhong!
But it’s a pity that my life span is not long, and the second master can’t extend my life.
But my shady landlord can do it, or to be precise, the City God Temple APP can do it.
Complete tasks, get merit, and exchange for life.
From then on, I opened a bookstore and wrote novels during the day. A happy (forced) life of catching ghosts and collecting monsters at night.
It was only then that I realized that the world was no longer what I thought it was.
Lan Ruo's ghost, the painted skin appears, and the monsters revive one after another.
Second Master asked me: "What are you going to do?"
I lit a cigarette and took the keyboard: "Don't worry, I'll get some merit points first. Our story has just begun..."

If you are craving a fresh twist on the supernatural horror genre, Zhiwei: Zhong Kui Is Here by Fen Nu De Zhao Cai Guai is a wild, adrenaline-fueled ride that you cannot afford to miss. This novel masterfully blends urban fantasy, traditional Chinese folklore, and a modern, irreverent sensibility to create something truly unique.
The story follows Chen Yanzhi, an ordinary protagonist thrust into a nightmarish reality when a simple visit to a used bookstore leads to a brush with death. The brilliance of the narrative lies in its protagonist’s unexpected savior: Zhong Kui, the legendary demon-queller, appearing not in classical robes, but in a stylish pink suit. This clash between the ancient, stoic authority of the Underworld Punishment Department and the absurdity of modern life sets the tone for a series that is as hilarious as it is terrifying.
What makes this novel stand out is its innovative integration of "system" elements. Instead of a typical power-leveling trope, the protagonist must navigate a life-or-death economy dictated by a City God Temple app. To stave off his own impending demise, Chen must balance his daytime life as an author with the nocturnal terror of hunting monsters. Seeing classic entities like the ghosts of Lan Ruo or the sinister painted skins reimagined through the lens of a gritty, task-based progression system is genuinely gripping.
The narrative voice is sharp, pacing is relentless, and the stakes feel genuinely high despite the occasional comedic undertones. It manages to modernize ancient myths without losing their eerie charm. If you enjoy stories that pit mortals against eldritch horrors with a keyboard in one hand and a talisman in the other, Zhiwei: Zhong Kui Is Here is an essential, high-octane read that will keep you turning pages until dawn.
