Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Hello, everyone! My name is Shen Jianguo. I am a night school instructor teaching ideological development and Marxist philosophy, occasionally analyzing recent policies and measures for my students.

All my classes are held in the middle of the night; I’ve never seen my coworkers or students during the day. The training institute’s classrooms are all in abandoned schools, hospitals, or residences. The license plate number of the bus that picks me up is 444; it always arrives at my house at precisely midnight and disappears at five in the morning.

What? You’re saying I’ve met a ghost? Impossible! As a staunch scientific materialist, I absolutely don’t believe there’s any such thing as ghosts!

I’ve only had one problem recently: couldn’t the training institute hold its classes a little earlier? Wouldn’t around 8 PM do? I fear neither heaven nor hell, but I do fear going bald.

Funny, sweet and short, easy to follow plot. Just be patient with the MC coz he's a little dense and oblivious until almost the end of the story. Lol. Good thing that the ML was patient and open to shou's craziness from time to time. MC's very gentle and have a strong sense of justice and righteousness which makes him strong in some way to fight the ghosts. Story 8.5/10.

Indeed, a slice of life and comedy novel. I feel that the MC has gone beyond dense to the point I felt annoyed. Probably because it is uncomfortable reading about a character we rarely meet in real life, where else can we find someone that is super dense yet super righteous around us (not saying there are none in the world but there are probably very very little of them). Since this MC is so different, as a reader I find it hard to relate and feel connected to the... more>> story.

Regardless, this is a fine read. Romance is a bonus, not the main plot. Suitable for you if you enjoy a unique story with a comedic undertone. <<less

Love, love, love it! His nosiness and vapidness may be frustrating to some, but the rest absolutely makes up for it. It’s sweetly sugary, adorable, and heartwarming.

Reasons why you should read this book for those who:

1. Only read yaoi and wanted only smut or romance.

2. Fears gore and ghost so this genre was out of question.

I was like that too until I gave this book a chance mainly coz I was turned into a total fan after reading Mr Melancholy wants to lead a peaceful life by the same author. I was gonna like spend reading just a few paragraphs or 5 minutes on. Yeah give yourself that much time: 5 minutes. Thats what I did.... more>> But then I was hooked right on and couldn't stop. There is romance here but not smut but boy you'd realize that wasn't the point at all!! Here is a great story with every single character introduced fleshed out really well and I was hooked on the side characters too!! This was a rare find in the genre. For those who dislike gore and horror genre rest assured this one isn't even scary, the 'horror' was laced by humor so it seemed funny instead and added to the appeal of the story. So folks give yourself a chance not to miss this one out. To give you a general plot ideas: Don't worry our ML isn't a ghost.

MC is an ordinary man who was unfortunate enough to land himself surrounded by 'ghosts' by mistake. ML was the taoist prist who worried for his safety so looked out for him. This story is about how his pure fearless heart and righteousness overcame the ghosts themselves and gave them the redemption they desperately needed. Happy ending since all the malicious ghosts was eventually 'tamed' under his careful ministering. <<less

Quite cute, interesting set up but the relationship is more secondary. And it is short, so you don't get deep into it but a cute quick read!

This is amazing! Exorcising ghosts one Marxist principle at a time.

On the surface, this is youe typical story of a young ideological new teacher who wants to help his group problem children into being successful humans.

What makes this unique is that teacher is an atheist who doesn't believe in feudal superstition like ghosts and exorcisms and the students are ghosts. There's also the actual exorcist, ML, who is there mainly as an emotional support because this is primarily a story about the teacher and his students... And of course, the... more>> Marxist Principles that shape their world view and make them better people ghosts. <<less

It's not really a total horror novel, instead this is very heartwarming. Each of the ghost that the main characters encountered here have their own story to tell that will make you teary up.

The comedic undertone blended with the plot and the characters are all well developed.

I really like the attitude of the MC. Somehow we need someone like him in our everyday life who is very willing to understand us. I also like the ML. I thought he is very cool just like any other ML in other danmei... more>> novels, but when you read the extra chapters in his POV, you will see that he is not that confident and vulnerable sometimes..

Overall, this novel is very good. Highly recommended! <<less

Translation: Translation is very well done.

Story: I didn't know this was only 40 ish chapters but was pleasantly surprised (in a good way) when I reached the end. This story is a light, fun read so I didn't need it to drag in for 100+ chapters. The premise is hilarious and the characters, both human and ghosts, are super fun. ... more>>

I enjoyed the sweet romance between Shen Jianguo and Ning Tiance and liked that it wasn't the main focus of the story. For such a short novel, the two were well fleshed out and showed growth by the end. I was rooting for them!

[collapse]
This might be a turn off for some, but MC Shen Jianguo is a major communist and he spends a lot of the novel spouting communist and Marxist ideals to humans and ghosts alike. It didn't bother me too much... but at times it did feel very preachy and almost propaganda-y. As much as I enjoyed the story, I had to take off a star for that. Also, while there are some familiar elements of horror in this novel (imagine your typical long haired, white dress wearing ghost), I wouldn't say the story is scary. I think there's too much humour to offset anything remotely scary. Overall, I really enjoyed this quick read. <<less

This is a heart-warming moral story about doing what's right and helping those in need no matter what they've done or experienced in their pasts. People should not be discriminated against just because of how they smell or what unusual hobbies they have or if they've been rude to you in the past. Teacher Shen focuses on teaching this principle to his students (along with Marxism), and he lives what he teaches.

This series could have been longer as he worked with each ghost to solve his or her obsessions and... more>> helped them make peace with the world. All the same, this is a sweet story about kindness, forgiveness, and justice.

If you want to read a light-hearted comedy about doing what's right, then this series is worth trying out. <<less

It's really so f*cking cute and good. Please read it. All the characters are so good. Well written and charming. This has the makings of a great tv show if people were more willing to show gay Asian relationships. But that's not even the point of this novel. It's just really funny and cute and very wholesome.

It's about having a righteous heart and beautiful mindset on life. It's still fluff but really wholesome funny fluff.

This is a cute, funny plot with a little bit of plot which never actually makes yous cared.

The pov of the MC is interesting and humorous especially his logical reasoning of people who looks totally like ghosts but he hilariously manages to come up with some back story for them.

The plot is great and is well paced. The interactions with MC and ML makes you laugh out loud.

... more>> The ghosts have some pretty sad backstories but that doesn't linger around for much.

It's a great story hat everyone should read (If you are not scared... QAQ) <<less

It's a really great story.

I usually don't like novels about ghosts and horror. But I really enjoyed this one and how Teacher Shen helped his students let go of their grievances. The comedy was also very amusing and it isn't actually scary.

The ML was an interesting and devoted person. Although... in the beginning I thought he would just become his good brother XD.

This novel was very adorable and wholesome for me. I only wish that it would be longer. :)

Truly outstanding and heart warming stories. The romance is secondary to the comical events that surround MC Shen Jianguo and the righteous deeds that he does.

⚠️ WARNING

The entire premise is that MC is 100% oblivious to the fact that he's surrounded by ghosts. The ghost can outright tell and show him that they're a ghost, and he just would straight up refuse to believe it. He's through and through man of science and refuses to believe in ghosts, in the most hilarious ways.

I thought it was pretty obvious and wouldn't be an issue, but I saw a comment complaining about it, so here I am. He is oblivious. That's what makes it fun! Going... more>> into this novel, just expect, accept and enjoy it. Or just DON'T go into this at all, save yourself (and people who DO like this novel) from frustration.

.

Romance was very chill and very innocent, almost absent from the story. It was there, but It wasn't main focus.

I did like how author strayed from some of the usual BL clichés. For example, in a lot of this kind of ghostly BLs MC usually has some sort of Yin constitution, which attracts ghost stuff and also usually a feminine trait. Yin is for women. (Mild spoiler ahead)
Spoiler

MC on other hand... is full of Yan energy. He's very obliviously, accidentally, unintentionally powerful and scary (more like terrifying) to ghosts. He just unknowingly casually brutally mu*dered some ghost at some point, so, yeah...

[collapse]

He is shorter, but physically stronger than love interest, he already knows that he's gay, had known for a long time, so there's no sexuality crisis from him. He fell in love first!

And yeah, I see traits like this in BL from time to time. But it usually takes place in "seme protagonist" genre, which is still the same stereotype, but tackled from a different angle.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna go and b1tch how "those novels are so bad", but it was nice to read for a change.

I haven't had this much fun in a long time. The plot was so-so, but I really felt a LOT of potential for a really interesting story. But, despite not fully exploiting the potential of the setup, it was still really fun and enjoyable read. It had very fun premise and a bit unusual writing (first person POV, usually I'm not a fan, but it was fine here)

Clearly, this novel was too short. I cannot stress enough, this story had the potential to be a full blown 200 chapters long novel. The premise was perfect for it, but author chose to make it more simple 40 chapter long story.

I used word "fun" too much, but it really was. It was fvcking hilarious.

So fun, so enjoyable, unique enough, but too simple and short for what it could've been. <<less

I love how sincere the MC is, his thoughtfulness and care for his students, yet innocent (?) view on ghosts/the supernatual. Every part of the story was interesting. While a lot of the tags include the romance, it wasn't the only thing keeping the story going. It felt like every character was fleshed out, that their stories were told rather than them being there to support the romance line. The author balanced the elements of the story well imo - it's funny and lighthearted where it should be, solemn and... more>> respectful where it should be. Loved it so much I have the other works by Cyan Wings / Qing Se Yu Yi saved to read :3 <<less
