[Mysticism] [Supernatural] [Wish-Fulfillment] [Lighthearted] [Playing Dumb While Hiding One's Strength]
Peach Yao Yao, a master swindler, tells fortunes by day and guarantees a pass on the CET-4 exam, then works part-time at a funeral home at night to make quick cash.
While others are scared witless on night watch, she brings instant noodles with Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, calmly chatting with the deceased about everyday life, financial planning, and splitting the fee.
A vengeful ghost shows up? She suppresses it with a casual wave. An evil spirit wreaks havoc? She exorcises it without breaking stride.
At her side are a goose that only eats luosifen and an Ancestral Dragon Sword that she keeps threatening to sell.
Campus hauntings, Miaojiang witchcraft, thousand-year-old tombs... Trouble comes at her from every direction.
Peach Yao Yao looks utterly exasperated. "I just want to make money and pay off my debts, then take my goose into a peaceful retirement. Can you monsters and ghosts stop getting in the way of my business?"
Don't mess with that college student with the goose. Ghost-catching is her side gig. Her main business... is squeezing every last bit of profit out of ghosts.
I've been reading it for a day. It's a very good novel. The plot is interesting and not draggy.
