If I Beat the Ghosts, You Can't Beat Me, Okay?

Original title: Office Drone Heavenly Master Shi Pengpeng graduated at the top of her class in mystical arts. Faced with a brutal job market, she became an office drone, working nine to five. Big cities offer plenty of opportunities, and all sorts of clueless demons and ghosts often show up in front of her. Scene One: In a CBD office tower, a vengeful ghost, brimming with resentment, drops to its knees in front of her with a thump. “Master, please, I’m begging you, send me to the next life! The resentment from all those office workers is so overwhelming, it’s made me depressed.” Shi Pengpeng: “...” This is hilarious. We really are in the same boat. Scene Two: Still in a CBD office tower, a client-driven nightmare born from an agency’s torment drops to its knees in front of her with a thump. “Great-auntie, please, I’m begging you, let me go! I can make you a black that’s all the colors of the rainbow!” Shi Pengpeng: “...” This is hilarious. We’re in the same boat again. Shi Pengpeng works diligently, but earning a living is hard. The office drone sighs. At the end of every month, staring at her bank balance, she can only silently open the “Didi Ghost-Hunting app,” pick up a job, and earn some extra cash just to scrape by. Then one day, Shi Pengpeng gets a call from home asking her to protect Yan Jing, her childhood friend. Shi Pengpeng and Yan Jing used to fight whenever they met as kids. To improve their relationship, their elders at one point even threatened to arrange a childhood betrothal for them. Now they’re all grown up, and she hears that Yan Jing has become a domineering CEO. Shi Pengpeng figures he probably won’t be petty enough to still hold a grudge over what happened when they were young. This job is as good as money in the bank! . Yan Jing has had two nightmares ever since he was a child: first, encountering ghosts; and second, his family making him marry Shi Pengpeng. He never expected both nightmares to come true when he grew up. Just as he was being tormented by supernatural entities, his family suddenly informed him that they had already sent Shi Pengpeng to find him. Yan Jing: ! He’d been so busy working all these years that he hadn’t found a partner, and now his family had finally lost patience and was going to force him to marry that bird’s-nest-haired charlatan! Yan Jing’s response: Impossible. Absolutely impossible. Some time later, his elders finally finished their retreat and got their phones back. When they contacted Yan Jing, they heard him say with studied composure, “Since the family is so set on it, I suppose I can reluctantly marry Shi Pengpeng...” Elder: “Marry? I only asked her to come exorcise some ghosts for you.” Yan Jing: ?????? No, we can leave the ghosts alone, but we have to get married! Well, this is awkward. Other people chase their wives all the way to the crematorium; he really is going to have to chase his all the way there.
