One day, a little ghost brings Mi Qiu a pared-down profile. "Spirit Medium, take a look. It's brand-new."
"Xie Jixu? Someone from our city?" There was a single young man she didn't know about, and to top it off, he was handsome and rich!
Mi Qiu's eyes lit up. "Name your price."
The little ghost said, "Twenty thousand."
"Are you crazy? Twenty thousand for one piece of information? Do you have any idea how hard it is to earn that much? How many specimens would I have to make to get that kind of money?"
"Then forget it."
"Hand it over!"

Mi Qiu is unemployed and scrapes by selling handmade crafts at the seafood market.
One day, she gets a big order. The buyer offers a five-figure sum, and Mi Qiu thinks she must have misread it. Then the buyer says they want an RT specimen.
"...Have you seen my work? I usually make things like butterflies."
The buyer replies, "I have."
So why the hell are you asking me?
Mi Qiu has no idea who the buyer on the other end of the internet is. The more she thinks about it, the stranger it seems, so she decides to sound them out first. "Could you please provide the buyer's name?"
"Xie Jixu."
"?"
"Can't you do it?"
"I can!"
