Synopsis

After working diligently in the underworld for 500 years, Xia Heyan returned to the mortal world because of unfinished ties from her past life. She was reborn in the body of another woman named Xia Heyan. The original owner was an 18-year-old student at Shenghua High School, preparing to apply to the University of Hong Kong. With a bright future ahead of her, she was talked into entering that year's Miss Hong Kong pageant by her classmates. She was later eliminated over a scandal, which ruined her reputation and drove her to take her own life. After being reborn, Xia Heyan set out to clear the original owner's name and restore her reputation, while also earning merit for herself. So she returned to her old profession in Xiangjiang: working as a feng shui master.

In 1980s Xiangjiang, strange incidents were everywhere: businesses used feng shui formations to gain an advantage in corporate battles; fire-damaged haunted houses saw a string of ghostly disturbances and deaths; financial tycoons set up plots to murder people; starlets raised child spirits to become famous; and funeral processions traveling at night met with car crashes that left many dead and injured.

[The protagonist is a strong woman. No romance. An overpowered golden finger. All events are fictional, so please do not assume they refer to real people.]

Looking for Women’s Fiction About Horror, the Supernatural, and Ghost Hunting. Nothing Too Boring, Please!

A highly rated silly comedy, but the female lead must not be a saintly do-gooder, and she shouldn’t be too cold either, or it gets incredibly boring. I just want the plot to move along.
