The nine-tailed fox Hu Haohao was ambushed while undergoing her transformation tribulation. Heavenly lightning shattered six of her tails, her true form was reduced to ashes, and her remnant soul drifted through the mortal realm until she unexpectedly took over a corpse and returned to life.
When she woke, she had become the actress Hu Haohao, who had died after someone stole her luck.
Her agency had given up on her, a staggering contract penalty hung over her head, and colleagues across the industry made trouble for her at every turn. No one wanted to take on this hot potato.
The original owner had been dragged into scandals fabricated out of thin air and driven to suicide by the internet's vicious public opinion.
At her most desperate moment, the nine-tailed fox took over. A paranormal reality show set in a haunted house, dismissed by everyone in the industry, landed in front of her.
People in the industry waited to see her get terrified out of her wits in the gloomy old mansion, botch the livestream, and disappear from the public eye for good.
But they didn't know... The evil spirits everyone feared were an opportunity for Hu Haohao to accumulate merit and restore her fox tails.
The paranormal events everyone avoided were precisely the resources she needed to cultivate!
Hu Haohao livestreamed fortune-telling, helped the dead find peace, and suppressed evil spirits, winning the affection of tens of millions of fans. She cultivated immortality through the power of faith and restored her nine broken tails.
One iconic moment after another went viral by chance.
The trolls who had mocked and cursed her gradually fell silent, ordinary viewers became fans, and countless people were touched by her wholehearted sincerity.
Hidden among the entertainment industry were demonic cultivators, using fandom hatred to breed demonic energy and manipulate public opinion, unleashing one wave of internet-wide attacks after another.
To others, a torrent of condemnation from the entire internet was something to avoid at all costs. For Hu Haohao, it was a tribulation forged in the mortal world of modern times.
As countless waves of malice swept toward her, she fought the sky-high rage with the righteous faith her fans gave her. All the while, she couldn't decide: should she ascend to immortality or not?
