[A melodramatic, harem-style novel centered on a woman, set in a low-magic alternate world and unrelated to reality]
[A story about a gorgeous, rustic country girl who lies flat and ends up with a spectacular result]
Wen Xiuli was a poor village girl from the mountains. Raised by her nearly blind grandmother, she had always lived in fear, treading carefully as if on thin ice.
At twelve, she began seeing all kinds of “ghosts,” and awakened a System.
The System told her she was an exceptionally rare kind of being, naturally attractive to ghosts and able to see what others could not.
This constitution was both good and bad. Low-level monsters and ghosts wanted to eat her, while the powerful ones would fall in love with her.
The System told her that if she gained the “love” of powerful monsters and ghosts, they would do anything for her, helping her leave the village, rise in status, and escape every worry and hardship.
To make her wishes come true, Wen Xiuli began serving the ghosts. When they liked her enough, she would make a wish, very cautiously.
“I wish that person would stop bullying me.”
That very night, the rich second-generation delinquent who had done evil and tried to assault her died horribly, leaving no trace of his remains.
Wen Xiuli remained timid and fearful, trembling with terror, yet a flower of evil quietly bloomed in her heart.
She made another wish: that the great monster or ghost would take the form of that “rich delinquent,” then use his social standing to give her lots and lots of money...
Her wish came true again.
After escaping poverty, Wen Xiuli served the gods and ghosts with even greater reverence, while becoming ever more skilled at feeding the desires in her heart.

Later, Wen Xiuli gained wealth, improved her life, moved to the city, and enrolled in a prestigious secondary school. Everything went smoothly...
But she continued making wishes to the gods and ghosts, wishing for bigger and bigger rewards.
Her desires grew and grew, until even the immortal fox who had been by her side as she grew up could no longer satisfy her...
Wen Xiuli thought disdainfully: What useless monsters and ghosts you are.
She kept looking for new ways to make wishes, seeking powerful ghost immortals...
Never noticing that the ghosts around her had been growing in number, too, though no one knew when it began.

Reading Guide:
1. A woman-centered, all-around harem romance with many one-sided crushes. As the title suggests, the heroine has a special constitution, and both male and female ghosts can't help falling for her.
2. The heroine is a dark, fragile flower with a weak personality, not a strong female lead. Open ending.
Theme: Live life with determination.
