A Corporate Slave Girl Finds a Sharp-Tongued Ghost of a Thousand Years! The Wandering Spirit Chronicles

Overworked office drone Lin Xiaoxia finds a bloodstained piece of ancient jade just before dying from exhaustion after working overtime. She is forced to sign a "deed of servitude" with A Piao, a thousand-year-old, sharp-tongued ghost: transmigrate to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period and set history right, in exchange for helping him pass on to the afterlife and be reborn, and helping her stay alive and be reborn.

Her first fall after transmigrating lands her in a cesspit in Bianjing. A fireworks formula earns her the first fortune of the chaotic age. Possessing the Imperial Seal lets her expose Zhu Wen's body-double conspiracy, and amid Huang Chao's rebel army, a life-and-death debate unfolds between a "poet and a butcher." When history is wantonly rewritten by the mysterious organization known as the "Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets," Chai Rong dies ten years early and the Chenqiao Mutiny becomes a puppet show. This human-and-ghost duo have no choice but to use modern knowledge to gain an overwhelming advantage, while constantly teetering between imperial robes and prison garb.

Before A Piao's soul scatters, he laughs and calls her "softhearted." Zhao Kuangyin hides his ambition in an honest-looking dimple, while Empress Fu holds a cup of poisoned wine and demands, "Will you save the world or yourself?" Only when Lin Xiaoxia stands before a rift in time and space, clutching the shattered ancient jade, does she realize that the biggest historical bug is this: the one who always says "an evil ghost shouldn't have a heart" has long since carved his obsession into the lines of her palm.
