The poor scholar Shen Yanci picked up an old silver incense ball in a ditch, and also picked up a female ghost who had been dead for an unknown number of years.
Her name is Heng Niang, she doesn't eat flesh and blood, and prefers the most shameful moments in people's hearts - a filial son longs for his mother's early death, an upright official collects money for the first time, and a good man finds a reason for his evil for the first time. However, Shen Yanci suited her best: aloof, conceited, full of talent, and so poor that she couldn't even afford twenty coins.
At first, Heng Niang just wanted to see him cross the line.
She told him that truth is not as useful as money, and asking for help is worse than making people fearful. She watched this poor scholar who had to account for every penny and even refused to eat the stolen cooking cakes, starting from a piece of paper, an old account, and five dollars of dirty money, and gradually climbed up to the top.
But later, Shen Yanci no longer needed her teaching.
But she began to regret it.
She originally wanted to take a taste of his evil, but in the end, she personally raised a man who was even afraid of herself.
And Shen Yanci has calculated all the gains and losses in this life, but he has not figured out how much the ghost that cannot be redeemed with twenty coins is worth.
