The Metaphysical Taoist Priestess Who Became Famous for Exorcising Ghosts

[Daoist arts expert × battle-hardened general | Two strong leads who dote on each other | Daily unmaskings]

As the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's household, Shen Qingci was abandoned by her family and raised in a Daoist temple. After returning to the capital, she only does three things: catch ghosts, make money, and argue with the cold-hearted General of the North, Pei Zhan.

The first time they meet, she points to the haunted dry well in the general's residence and says, “Three hundred taels, and I'll cleanse the place.” Pei Zhan sneers, “If it doesn't work, you'll face military punishment.” Right in front of him, she climbs down the well and pulls out three skeletons. The sinister wind at its mouth vanishes.

The second time, he is ordered to investigate a case alongside her. He watches as she summons the wronged spirit of a top scholar who died unjustly years ago, exposing a major imperial examination cheating scandal.

The third time, he is covered in blood and shielding her from the evil spirits surrounding them. In a hoarse voice, he asks, “Who are you, really?” She wipes the blood from the corner of her mouth and grins carefreely. “This Daoist is Qingxu. General, saving your life this time will cost extra.”
