With a pair of eyes that can see the supernatural and a craft passed down through generations of her family, Sun Ci has spent years drifting from place to place.
Fortune-telling, catching thieves, finding cats, tracking people...
As long as the money's right, she does it all!

Then a case that had nothing to do with her brought her face-to-face with a man even ghosts would go out of their way to avoid.
One day, Zhao Lin caught the young woman who had been dodging him for ages. Grabbing her by the back of her collar, he asked with a smile that didn't reach his eyes,
"I only asked you to meet someone. Why run?"
Sun Ci's heart pounded like a drum, but she still muttered cautiously,
"Captain Zhao, I've barely made any money off you, and now you're already trying to get a freebie..."
"Want to make money off me?"
His voice turned cold, and Sun Ci hurriedly shook her head.
"I wouldn't dare!"
Before she could finish, the tall man standing over her patted his pocket, then tossed her a thick black wallet. He gave her a half-smile.
"Count it. Is it enough for you to meet my parents once?"
