That Ghost's Stomachache Is an Act

[Unconventional sect cultivation]

Help! I only realized after signing the contract that the tags were wrong... There's very little modern-day content ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅

Jiang Wu is one hell of a person.

She's in her second year of high school, ranks first in her grade, has no friends, and doesn't need any.

Six months ago, a male ghost moved into her home.

He's semi-transparent, always complaining that his stomach hurts, clingy, and handsome. She can't get rid of him.

Life goes on as usual: practice problems, exams, meals, sleep. She's gotten used to it.

But then he starts saying strange things, and she starts having strange dreams.

In her dreams, someone calls her name. Some of the names she's never heard before, yet when she says them, they feel as familiar as if she's called them a thousand, ten thousand times.

He says he's here on business, and that business has something to do with her.

She doesn't know what it is, but every day when she wakes up, the world feels a little more wrong.

Soon, she'll discover that the thing that's wrong was never the world.

It was her.

She was never part of this world to begin with.

The ghost will send her back to her homeland.

There, she'll save a world that was supposed to be destroyed.

It's a daunting mission, but she doesn't care.

“Save that world? Easy.”

Her tone is calm, and pretty full of herself.

What she never expected was that as she saved the world, that realm would rewrite her completely.

By the time she returns, she's no longer herself.

...Or perhaps, after a thousand years of twists and turns, the pieces of her that she lost have finally returned to where they belong.
