    Why It Should Get Picked Up:
    The drama adaption of this recently started airing and it's amazing so far.
    The author's popular for their BL works (although my friend tells me it's more plot and character-focused than smut) so I can make an educated guess in saying it's most likely well-written and interesting.

    Description:

    如题,都市灵异故事
    See title, an urban fantasy story

    温柔内敛美人攻VS暴躁精分……以及自以为攻的受。
    A gentle, reserved and beautiful gong vs a hot-tempered, schizophrenic (?), who thinks he's the gong but is actually the shou, shou.

    容易逆cp警报,请关注文案。
    Easily switched couple, call the police, please pay attention to the copyright (?)

    Seems like there isn't one...
    Oh wait...
    文章主要围绕两主角的前世今生的种种开展开来,以四圣器为主线描述了人间鬼界仙途的互相博弈。文章主要分为四块:轮回晷、山河锥、功德笔和镇魂灯,故事情节环环相扣,让人读之欲罢不能。

    If by synopsis you mean what's the setting/more details; the mc is the head detective of the special investigations unit and has a team that includes a shapeshifting cat, a snake secretary, a wandering soul, a skilled user of the dark arts and a new recruit. They basically have jurisdiction in cases that seem beyond human doing/are supernatural/deal with di xing people.

    The ml is a university professor at a local university who gets mixed up with the supernatural cases almost all the time and has done research on di xing people (there's a complicated history and lore around their origins but in essence people with supernatural abilities). Which is all I can say without giving away any spoilers.

    Based on the intro post, I would say the gong is ML, Shen Wei, the gentle, reserved and beautiful professor.

    "Easily switched" as in, easily mistaken as the opposite, because the shou seems like a gong and vice versa, or like ahem, bedroom activities' positions? :sushi_hide:

    Anyway, a kind person/group has started subbing the series, so far 3 episodes. Watching the trailer, I also thought that Prof. Shen Wei was the shou, cuz he looks so pretty. :aww:

    It's been adapted into live action tv series. So far 27 episodes have been uploaded in online watching sites, but only 3 episodes have been subbed. :cookie:

    If people have trouble reading on Wattpad (maybe you’re getting that darn pesky “sign up to read” button as I seem to get), I’ve obtained permission to reshare Guardian on my site. Please be aware that it will be at least a week after the translator updates her site so fans can visit her site first.

    The drama is interesting so far. I hope the novel might be too since apparently some stuff have changed to fit the TV media.

    it's pretty interesting for a drama.
