Yellow Springs General Store

An old man who spent his whole life in poverty dies and leaves his daughter Zaojia a grocery store on the road to the underworld, where every inch of land is worth a fortune. To make sure her father can eat and drink well in the afterlife, Zaojia rolls up her sleeves and gets to work. The long-shuttered shop reopens, newly renovated and glittering with gold. Ghosts and monsters from all walks of life flock to support it. Car-crash ghost: I highly recommend her skin-brightening cream! My face looked so pale it practically glowed at the crash site! Wrongful-death ghost: Gotta give her retribution-in-this-life water a thumbs-up! The combination of yin and yang works wonders! Fox spirit: Awooo, her fox-odor-removing perfume is freaking amazing! One day, a clueless Taoist bursts in and starts smashing things. "I heard there are fake ghosts in your shop!" "...Oh, for crying out loud, I'm Zaojia!" Zaojia never imagined that after grabbing her handbag and beating the little Taoist until his head was covered in lumps, her luck would turn. Now she leans against the wall, weak in the knees and moaning softly, while the little Taoist gazes down at her with a smile, wraps an arm around her, and nuzzles her. "Don't you like it?" Zaojia has no answer. Her face turns as red as a watermelon. Couple: a poor, upright (?) real Taoist x a clever, capable fake fortune-teller. A hilarious, ill-fated romance born from ghost-catching and exposing frauds. Reader's Guide: 1. The heroine is petite and delicate, but not to be trifled with. Her combat power is maxed out. 2. A lighthearted paranormal story that's not scary, and a true female-lead novel. 3. The setting serves the story. Please go easy on the fact-checking. 4. Some of the information about demons and monsters is made up on the spot, and some is based on Extensive Records of the Taiping Era, Imperial Readings of the Taiping Era, Classic of Mountains and Seas, Ancient Chinese Myths and Legends, Dictionary of Ancient Chinese Myths and Legends, What the Master Would Not Discuss, and Records of the Strange, with some original additions. -0- Mantou's completed novel: The Pot Fell from the Sky -3- Mantou's upcoming novel: I Got Famous After Becoming a Spicy NPC [Full Dive] Theme:
