Fortune-Telling and Solving Crimes: I’m the Professional

Shen Tan was the youngest daughter of the Shen family, one of the Four Great Houses. When she was born, she cried so hard she nearly stopped breathing. To save her life, her family sent her up the mountain to be raised by Daoist Master Lingyi at a Taoist temple. Eighteen years later, she came down from the mountain. The Shen couple came to meet her, brimming with anticipation. But the moment they saw their daughter, they were dumbstruck. How had their lovely little girl ended up bald? And was that thing she was riding a white tiger?! Shen Tan patted the tiger’s head. “Xiao Bai, go on back. Remember to tell Master I’ll miss him.” The Shen couple: “...Daughter, what exactly have you been learning all these years?” Shen Tan counted on her fingers. “Fortune-telling, face reading, ghost-catching, demon-subduing, drawing talismans, opening the gates to the underworld...” She rubbed her bald head. “I also shaved it while I was at it. It’s too hot.” Her parents: “As long as Tanbao is happy.” On her first day down the mountain, Shen Tan discovered she had a knack for running into vengeful ghosts. By the end of her first week, she had become an external consultant for the National Bureau of Special Affairs. By the end of her first month, she had sent off three vengeful spirits, burned a nest of parasitic insects, solved a headless corpse case, and even caught a fugitive who had taken over a dead body. Oh, right. She also set up a fortune-telling stall in the park. A thousand yuan per reading, three customers a day, and no charge if the reading was wrong. Before long, her readings landed her on the trending list: #MovieStarShen’sBaldSister,HeavenChosenFortuneTeller# Lighthearted comedy + supernatural suspense + feel-good wish fulfillment A bald working stiff, catching demons live.
