Plot:
When tourism planner He Suyao was fiddling with the spooky knickknacks on her desk, her new boss, Quan Xuyan, rolled his eyes at her for the umpteenth time. He thought that sooner or later, he'd kick this lazy "nepo hire" out of the company.
Then He Suyao kicked a pebble, and a carp spirit dragged her into the river. Quan Xuyan jumped in with a splash to save her, but when her blood touched him, he learned her secret: as a spirit seer, she could be possessed by spirits.
"Boss! You've grown fish scales!"
"Boss! You've grown a fox tail!"
Possessed by all kinds of spirits, Quan Xuyan discovered a whole new world. His mouth twitched, but he couldn't complain, so he used tourism planning as an excuse to listen to He Suyao's half-hearted flattery, help the spirits fulfill their wishes, and give the company a name for itself along the way.
Until...
A malevolent spirit that had slept for a hundred years was about to break through the barrier. As their secrets came to light, she held down his trembling hand, and he stood in front of her.
"I accept your secret."
"I'll take on your responsibility."
