The Ancestor Reborn as a Doormat: Hauling in Seafood, Catching Ghosts, and Flirting with a Rugged Man

Jiang Ning, a revered ancestor of the cultivation world, fails to survive her tribulation and is reborn in an island fishing village in the 1980s, as a pitiful girl whose whole family leeches off her.

No spiritual power? No problem. This old ancestor has an imposing presence.

Her parents want to sell her for a bride-price? She throws a severance letter in their faces, then puts on a supernatural act and scares her awful family half to death.

The village is rife with rumors that water ghosts haunt the beach where people died. Nobody dares go there?

Jiang Ning heads over with a bucket. When she comes back, it’s full of premium abalone, and a menacing man, soaked to the skin and rippling with muscle, is following behind her.

Qin Lang is the village’s infamous ill-fated loner. Everyone avoids him.

Only Jiang Ning eyes his dripping wet V-line with a playful look. “Young man, you seem to have a lot of yang energy. Mind if I take a couple of sips?”

Qin Lang pins her against a reef, his ears turning red. “Don’t tease me. I can’t handle a scare, but I can handle being teased.”

(Heads-up: The heroine has no magic, but she knows medicine and feng shui. Everyone is a villain. Rural ghost stories, where human hearts are more poisonous than ghosts.)
