Possibly an Infinite-Flow Novel

A strange dream of brocade and neon, words turned upside down in the mouth.

The ritual grounds are full tonight, yet the living may be saved while the ghosts cannot.

Sing, recite, act, and fight upon the stage. Whether you stay or go, in the end you must take that step.

A seven-inch bamboo stick in hand, gesturing as I speak of life's sorrow.

(Cough, cough. That's enough showing off.)

(The harem is the Empress Dowager, the System is just for show, the protagonist is invincible but too lazy to act, not a wish-fulfillment story, doesn't want to go home, loves showing off, no male lead, and the characters stick together for warmth.)

Ning Song was an exceptionally sensitive child, like a lonely bird locked in a cage. With no way to release her emotions and thoughts, she grew all the more sensitive.

Then one day, thinking she'd escaped her cage and taken flight, she met the "kindred spirit" she'd long dreamed of finding.

She didn't realize it was demonic possession. But because she was a Taoist, she wasn't afraid, and because she was so sensitive, she was cautious, too.

A child's nature is to depend on others. She didn't want to be a child anymore.

But she was still a child, and a child's path was one of growth...

She flapped her wings, leaving feathers scattered in the cage, and at last broke free of her ankle chain.

She thought she could see the end of the road at a glance, never knowing that a clear pond reflects all things.

At last, I understood: what exists makes a vessel, what does not gives it use

(Meaning the main plot is hidden beneath the surface.)
