[Female protagonist’s perspective + everyone’s favorite + a unique growth journey (every time, it’s a struggle between good and evil, right and wrong, and me against myself) + female-oriented fiction, strong heroine and weak hero + no romance + family themes after Chapter 13]
A supernatural story with no romance. Someone messed with my tags, and now they’re trying to murder me.
Song Nianzhong is the twenty-seventh-generation direct disciple of the Maoshan ghost-hunting lineage.
She has a compassionate heart that wants to save the world, but she also acts as rough as a macaque.
She seems absurd, but she’s actually reliable. She obeys the law, reasons things out, and believes in science.
She often says she doesn’t believe in superstition or ghosts, but secretly sells safety charms for 68,000 yuan apiece.
Now, following her master’s orders, she has come down from the mountain to banish evil.
She tells a man, “Your forehead is dark. You need to spend money to avert disaster. Just 500 yuan.”
She tells a young woman, “Bad luck is clinging to you. This little Daoist can change your fate with feng shui. Just 5,000 yuan.”
She tells another, “Your father has passed away at a ripe old age. I can perform rites to send him on his way. Just 50,000 yuan.”
Song Nianzhong: “Besides summoning gods and exorcising ghosts, I know a little kung fu, too!”
A passerby scoffs. “How many words in that sentence are actually true?”
Song Nianzhong laughs. “I’m penniless, so ‘poor’ is true. I’ve practiced Daoism since childhood, so ‘Daoist’ is true. Summoning gods and exorcising ghosts is true, too. It’s just that I can’t summon a god for ordinary things, and ordinary ghosts run away the moment they see me. The truth doesn’t always get through to people, and it’s true that I know a little kung fu…”
A bit player in the ghost-hunting world, but someone she’s quietly proud of.
The world sees only a half-baked Daoist who jokes around. But when danger strikes, she wields talismans to destroy demons and monsters. She guides wandering souls, crosses the Yellow Springs, communicates with ghosts and gods, dispels resentment, and vanquishes vengeful spirits. Cases include the thousand-year-old female ghost, the Five Elements formation, school bullying, human trafficking, raising little ghosts in the entertainment industry, and the case of a human and a demon, among many others… Each is horrifying, and each ends perfectly…
It's very beautiful. The heroine is the kind of person who has great love. Throughout the whole story, she is very respectful to women. There is no scene of female rivalry.
