Summary
Raising the Evil Spirit, also known as '饲鬼,' is a captivating Chinese web novel that delves into the genres of comedy, drama, horror, mystery, romance, shounen ai, and supernatural. The story follows Gu Yan, an ancient general's soul who finds himself in modern times after a tragic betrayal and a brutal death sentence. With themes of clever protagonists, death, exorcism, ghosts, and mysterious pasts, the novel explores the intricate relationships between humans and non-humans, as well as the complexities of love and fate. As Gu Yan navigates his new existence attached to a 'luck-bringing charm' and encounters a young man who resembles his past persecutor, the plot unfolds with twists of near-death experiences and strong emotional entanglements.

Description

At sixteen, Gu Yan joined the army, riding into battle and shedding blood and sweat for nearly ten years. However, he was framed by treacherous ministers and demoted by a foolish emperor, who feared the high merits of his ministers would overshadow his own shaky rule. Accused of treason, he was sentenced to death by a thousand cuts, and with a single light decree of “execute him in the market, exterminate his family,” the emperor sent one hundred and seventy-nine members of his family to their deaths.

With the pain of one thousand eight hundred and twenty-four deep cuts engraved in his bones, Gu Yan did not enter the cycle of reincarnation but instead attached himself to a “luck-bringing charm” in the home of Su Kun, an unemployed young man hundreds of years later. To make matters worse, Su Kun happened to resemble the foolish emperor by seventy percent…

All of the above is a fog! In reality, this is a tragic story of an ancient general’s soul traveling to modern times, where, after scaring Su Kun to the point of crying out in terror, he discovers he has mistaken the person.
