The Capitol Taoist
《The Capitol Taoist》 is a fantasy series that blends supernatural mystery, detective drama, and dark comedy. In Washington, exorcism is not about fighting ghosts. It is about completing their paperwork and registering them in the records of the underworld. Lin Jiu, a Maoshan Taoist priest who has practiced without a license in America for thirty years, only wanted to build a following through short videos. Then he goes viral—and ghosts from around the world begin treating his comment section as the underworld’s customer-service desk. A presence in a bathroom. A grandmother who refuses to leave. A child who has been talking to a wall. Construction records buried for seventy years. Together with Kate O’Keefe, a compliance officer from the Inspector General’s office, Lin Jiu must uncover the truth behind each case, navigating both earthly archives and underworld rules. But when his master mentions the “thing” Lin Jiu was supposed to watch thirty years ago, he realizes that the entrance to the subway station he passes every day may be hiding an old debt—one even the founding masters never taught him how to settle.
