The Mystical Girl of the Seventies

Next up: "When an AI Arrives in the 1970s and Becomes Everyone's Favorite". Thanks for your support! Blurb: In 1975, fortune-telling master Chu Lan became Chu Lan, daughter of the Chu family in the capital, and went from 26 years old to 16. One day, Chu Lan ran into a "person" in the courtyard. She instinctively moved aside, but unexpectedly, that person latched onto her. Then one day, when she came back from an outing, the following conversation took place. "Person": Miss Chu, can you see me? I'm from the Sheng family in this courtyard. Could you do me a favor? Chu Lan: You've been following me for days. What do you need? "Person": Tell my grandson that there are two gold bars in the hidden compartment of my wardrobe. Have him take them out and deal with them. Chu Lan: You can visit him in a dream. Why don't you tell him yourself? "Person": Every time I go in, that brat kicks me out. Chu Lan: ... Is your grandson named Sheng Kun? "Person": That's right! "Person": Miss Chu, pass along a message for me. I'll give you one gold bar as payment for helping me! Chu Lan was more than happy to agree. "Sure! I'll go find him tomorrow." Sheng Kun had been keeping an eye on Chu Lan of the Chu family. He'd heard she could see both people and ghosts, but he'd never met her. That is, until one night, when he came back from playing basketball and saw her talking to the air like a lunatic, acting as if there were really someone there. He heard her ask the air, "Is your grandson named Sheng Kun?" "Sure! I'll go find him tomorrow." She spoke as though there really were someone in front of her. Sheng Kun's legs started to shake. He fled in a panic, only for her to show up at his door the next day. What's more, she let him see his grandmother while he was awake. "...Are you a demon?!" Chu Lan spread her hands. "I can just see ghosts, that's all." Later, Sheng Kun discovered that wasn't all. It seemed Chu Lan could see right through things, too... A male lead who's afraid of "them" x a female lead who spends her days with "them" Upcoming: "When an AI Arrives in the 1970s and Becomes Everyone's Favorite" Blurb: The Particle Space-Time 008 System's startup program failed. When it opened its eyes again, it had become a human baby girl in 1970s China. She was given the name Nie Yuan. The villagers of Little Valley Village noticed that by the time Old Nie's daughter had turned six, she was wooden and spoke like an emotionless machine. She wasn't like an ordinary family's daughter, and everyone thought she might be a little dim-witted. But if you called her stupid, she'd still score full marks on her exams. Her teachers adored her and all took turns looking after her, so Old Nie didn't have to worry about a thing. "..." This bookworm sure doesn't eat much. But Nie Yuan wasn't just a bookworm or a simpleton. She knew how to take care of her parents, too. She'd sling a basket on her back and head up the mountain, then come down with it full of all kinds of things: pheasants, hares, mushrooms, meat and vegetables alike. A few more ingredients and she'd have enough for a Manchu-Han banquet. "..." After taking care of her parents, Nie Yuan said she wanted to bring some food to her friends, too. Everyone in the village, young and old, was her friend. Nie Yuan called to them, "Come with me. I'll take you to catch wild boars." The villagers: "..." The villagers gathered their gear and followed her up the mountain, only to find that Nie Yuan had led them straight to a wild boar's den. One, two, three, four, five piglets were fast asleep inside. Nie Yuan said without expression, "Hurry up and carry them off. There's another nest of pheasants up ahead." The villagers: "…" Goodness, what a lucky little girl! After that battle, the villagers wished they could put their lucky little girl on an altar. Lucky little girl Nie Yuan went on as usual. She loved going up the mountain to catch pheasants and wild boars, but visiting her teacher's house was torture. Her father, Old Nie, had no idea that she went there not only because her teacher liked her, but also to tutor the teacher's eldest nephew. That nephew was unbelievably stupid! Even an AI System like her understood the simple problem of chickens and rabbits in one cage, but the nephew, a human being! A human being! Just could not be taught, no matter what. It was enough to make even an AI shut down! The nephew: He was having a meltdown, too! How could a fourth-grader's intelligence be worse than a first-grader's?! [Blurb saved as a screenshot.
