The Ghost Detective

There was once a lotus fairy who failed to protect a goldfish.

She was cast down to the mortal realm to be reborn as a human and suffer.

At seventeen, she was assaulted and took her own life. Her body lay unattended for half a month.

A kind scholar buried her. To repay him, the lotus fairy helped him pass the imperial examinations and become a top scholar. After he entered government service, she helped him investigate and solve cases.
