Master of the Taoist Temple: Getting Rich Through Metaphysics

CP: A penniless "ghost's bane" who can kick a roof down × a wealthy, unlucky guy whose roof gets kicked in, who fears ghosts and attracts them * Before coming down from the mountain, Wu Bai thought making money was difficult. After coming down, she realized just how wrong she had been. [Question: What's it like to inherit a Taoist temple?] Wu Bai: Thanks for asking. You suddenly find out that no matter how high your cultivation is, you still have to eat. The temple is so poor we can barely afford food, and that's not even the worst of it. Inheriting the temple also comes with several hungry little brats to feed... Wu Bai: Anyway, I've got to head down the mountain and get a Taoist priest license so I can register at temples and make a living. On her way down the mountain to get certified, carrying the ancestral broken sword of her sect, Wu Bai runs into a runaway ghost. While exorcising it... She fails to control her strength and kicks in the ceiling of a wealthy family's house. Homeowner: You look broke, so I'll give you half off. Pay me three hundred million. Wu Bai: ??? Wu Bai: !!! Wu Bai's legs trembled, and she almost dropped to her knees. Then she thought of the poor little ones back at the temple. She was going to give it everything she had!! To pay off the debt, Wu Bai takes on a job at a haunted house that, supposedly, has stumped countless powerful Taoist priests. Fellow practitioners: Wu Bai? Who's that? What wild nobody did she crawl out of? In front of everyone, Wu Bai cuts down a vengeful ghost with one sword, making it vanish into thin air. She becomes famous overnight, and money comes rolling in. Wu Bai: Huh? Is making money really this easy?! Fellow practitioners: ...How infuriating! * The rice jar at Lingyun Temple is completely empty, and the abbot who went out to make money still hasn't returned. The disciples, who have spent years in seclusion, all head down the mountain to find their abbot. Soon, the Songhai City Daily is full of exciting stories: [Holy smokes! Long-haired man in Songhai City brings a patient who suddenly died back to life!] [No way! Someone jumps off the top of the 101 Building and lands without a scratch!] [Wow!! All the animals at the Songhai Zoo go berserk after a mysterious woman says one sentence!] Reporter: What brings you all to Songhai City? Remarkable people: The rice jar at home is empty. We're here to find our Senior Brother/Master/Uncle-Master/Junior Brother/Abbot Wu Bai. * Lingyun Temple, hidden from the world for a hundred years and said to be a sect where every member is a Celestial Master, suddenly opens its doors to the public. The many visitors who come to pay their respects are stunned to discover that its abbot is none other than Wu Bai, the woman who has thrown the entire Taoist community into chaos! Just look at the temple's statue of the patriarch, made of pure gold, the lost talismans, and the pile of magical treasures lying in a corner like junk. Fellow practitioners: Weren't they supposed to be poor?! They're clearly rolling in it! A few things to know: 1. The heroine is 178 cm tall and is mistaken for a man in an unconventional plotline. She's a good person. The hero is 186 cm tall, but he's the one who likes to be doted on. 2. Everyone at Lingyun Temple is talented. The author is a sucker for pretty faces, so they're all handsome guys. 3. Plot-driven, lots of nonsense, and plenty of original worldbuilding. Readers who want rigorous research, beware. 4. This is a fictional setting, a fictional setting, a fictional setting. 5. This is a romance novel. The romantic storyline isn't prominent, but it is there.
