Secret: I was a witch in the Republic of China

Xiao Yan joyfully places his newly acquired artwork—a white bone statue of the Primordial Witch—on his desk, fulfilling a ritualistic desire as a devoted fan of Lord of the Mysteries. Setting up the ritual, he chants, "Symbol of war and doom, Witch who wields chaos, Many-Faced One of disaster and sacrifice, Ruler of the world in the mirror, please grant my wish of never having to go to work again." Suddenly, he finds himself transported to a spirit-haunted world resembling the Republic of China era. It is a realm where divine beasts, jiangshi, and cultivators coexist, and the gods of various nations fiercely contend in a struggle to become the one true deity of the world.
