[Tomato hit, spirit-medium heroine + mystery investigations + sweet, mutually protective romance]
A string of murders rocks the Yuhe Opera Troupe. Costumes claim lives, resentment fills the air, and everyone in the troupe is on edge. They all say the wronged opera star Liu Yuru has returned from the dead to take revenge!
Only Wu Niang grips the copper bell on her wrist and sees through the truth with a cool gaze. This is no vengeful ghost: someone is manipulating resentment to get their hands on a treasured secret of the opera world!
Born with the gift of spirit mediumship, she wields divine arts. Suppressing demons and driving away vengeful spirits are child's play, and push her too far, and she'll take down even her master and the Five Immortals in a flash.
Yet she puts on a carefree, lackadaisical act, wild and irreverent as Jigong, concealing her immense power. She only wanted to travel and live in peace, but instead gets swept into a conspiracy decades in the making.
Shen Yanzhi is a striking yet tragic actor in pale moon-colored costumes. Their birth charts clash. As the troupe's leading performer, he is reserved and taciturn, with all the indecision and awkwardness of an actor.
He usually bears misfortune in silence and backs down, but the murders at the Yuhe troupe leave him no choice but to stand with Wu Niang. The jade pendant in his palm holds a clue to the secret treasure, and Wu Niang's forthrightness leaves him flustered and evasive.
Wu Niang raises an eyebrow and smiles. Her copper bell rings softly, and a hint of amusement and resolve glimmers in her eyes. “My actor husband is supposed to bring me bad luck? No matter. I'll spoil him with my spirit-medium arts! Whoever I set my heart on, I'll kill anyone who stands in my way, even the Buddha himself!”
Okay, come on💪
Not bad, Wu Niang is so cute
