Legend says there are people who can cultivate immortality, attain the Dao, and ascend.
Xu Lu is one of them.
Unfortunately, she was born in the twenty-first century,
an era with few spirits and plenty of resentful ghosts.
To build up merit, she starts working her way around the modern city.
She hears there's a little ghost at a bar, so she goes in and chains up a monster.
Only she chained up the wrong one: a person.
Xu Lu bows apologetically. "I'm so sorry, so sorry. I've never met anyone with such a heavy yin aura. My apologies."
Fu Che, who'd been about to forgive her: "..."
Xu Lu, whose merit keeps getting deducted for saying the wrong thing: "..."
To earn back her merit, Xu Lu has no choice but to make it up to Fu Che.
From then on, she works like a servant for him, and finally manages to build her merit back up.
Xu Lu: "Hahahaha, Fu Che, there's a ghost hanging behind you. Let me get rid of it for you."
She hasn't used her spiritual power in so long that she flings the ghost right into Fu Che's face.
Merit: -100086
-
Fu Che knows he has a heavy yin aura. Wronged spirits are always floating around him.
Then one day, he meets someone who supposedly knows how to catch demons, ghosts, monsters, and anything else.
This person is always so infuriatingly self-assured. Ever since he met her, Fu Che hasn't had a single peaceful day.
More and more demons and monsters gather around him, and he keeps getting dragged into inexplicable times and places.
Supposedly, Xu Lu is building up merit so she can ascend once she's earned enough.
Fu Che doesn't believe it at all.
Xu Lu's merit builds up so slowly that by the time she's earned enough, the two of them are already together, living a shamelessly affectionate life.
And then one day, Xu Lu really does ascend.
Fu Che, left behind on the ground: "...Honey, do you still want me?"
