Logline:
In a modern city where dwindling spiritual energy forces supernatural beings to blend in as humans, yokai (monsters) now live as wage slaves—delivering takeout, grinding for civil service exams, or burning out in corporate rat races. But surviving on human-world paychecks isn’t their only problem: their disguises drain magic daily, and rising human resentment makes every shift a struggle.
Enter "Yao Sheng Credit", a shady power-loan scheme run by the ancient demon Mountain Lord. Posing as a benefactor, he trades magic at loan-shark rates, secretly amassing energy to revive an era where monsters ruled.
Li Zheng, a slacker evading his destiny to "inherit the family pig farm," stumbles into a job as Yao Sheng’s debt collector. He thinks his trash-talking skills (honed by China’s nine-year compulsory education) are why delinquent yokai obey—until he discovers his bloodline traces back to Shen Tu, a god of exorcism.
Now, caught between factions—yokai revolutionaries, heaven’s bureaucracy, and an AI named "Hongjun" (bent on deleting all "outdated lifeforms")—Li must navigate a war where payday loans, office politics, and ancient mythology collide.
Tone: Office Space meets Supernatural—a dark workplace comedy where monsters argue about "magic overdrafts" and gods file TPS reports.
