Top-tier star Ji Li is invited to take part in a livestream variety show where celebrities experience a new way of life.
Word has it that the investor behind the show is the young master of a prestigious family. The premise is for celebrities and ordinary people to team up and experience the life of the wealthy for three days and two nights.
Ji Li's partner is an utterly ordinary girl named Jiang Tang.
Word has it that the production crew tricked her into joining the show while she was living on a remote mountain.
Jiang Tang, a country girl, doesn't even know how to use a smartphone.
But Ji Li thinks someone like her will be easy to handle.
He decides to put her in her place on the very first day, so she'll cooperate with the top-tier star's team.
But he never expected this:
On the first day of filming, before Ji Li can even get out his threatening words, ordinary girl Jiang Tang speaks first:
"Friend, your forehead looks dark to me."
"Want to buy a lucky charm? They're cheap, just 20 yuan each."
Ji Li: ...???
He boasts, "Even if I threw all my money into the sea, I wouldn't give you a single cent!"
A few days later.
Everyone on the production crew witnesses the top-tier star Ji Li tearfully begging Jiang Tang, the country girl, and even offering her a fortune:
"Please, sell me a lucky charm!"
"I'll give you 20,000! No, 30,000!"
Jiang Tang: "Send me 50 yuan and I'll handle it myself."
_
Later, the show becomes a huge hit, and everyone in the wealthy circles, from top to bottom, learns of Jiang Tang, the mysterious master of the occult hidden in plain sight.
Some even spend lavishly, desperate for a chance to meet her:
"If Master attends my father's sixtieth birthday banquet, I'll pay her a million!"
"Master, sell me a ghost-banishing talisman. I'll give you a mansion, a luxury car, and two million in cash!"
"Come take a walk around my home, Master, and I'll give you shares in my company!"
But the heads of three prestigious families, who rarely show themselves in public, suddenly appear and make their stance clear:
"Show some respect! She's our little ancestor!"
The wealthy families: ...Damn!
They can't outspend each other, so all they can do is appeal to her feelings.
One after another, they send their most favored sons and grandsons, hoping to get close to the master by playing the handsome man.
But they are met with a stern warning from the Celestial Master priests of Xuantian Temple:
"Get lost! She's the future temple master's wife!"
The wealthy families: ...Damn!!!
Is there no way to live anymore?
_
Jiang Tang, heir to the Jiang clan, the foremost occult family of the Li Dynasty, transmigrates to the modern world hundreds of years in the future at the age of eighteen.
She has one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.
The good news:
Her three beloved disciples have also transmigrated, and their descendants are now the heads of prestigious families.
Jiang Tang can pack her bags and go stay with them.
The bad news:
Her archenemy has also transmigrated, and has become the rightful heir to Xuantian Temple.
Jiang Tang... packs her bags and runs away in the middle of the night.
Reader's guide:
1. An occult adventure about catching ghosts. It's not scary, so even the fainthearted can read without worry.
2. Most of the setting is made up by the author, with lots of personal additions. My writing has its limits, so you don't need to tell me if you drop the novel.
3. Reasoned discussion is welcome. Any personal attacks are strictly rejected.

Word has it the Demon Lord's moods are unpredictable. Every day, the demons of the Demon Realm live in fear under his rule, worried that one wrong move will offend him and cost them their lives.
As time goes by, the Demon Lord finds them boring and grows more and more impatient.
Then one day, the Demon Lord picks up a little puppet that someone has thrown away.
The little puppet is sweet-talking and lovable. It praises all the demon attendants around the Demon Lord until they're walking on air, and they oil and lacquer it every day, cherishing it like their own baby.
But the Demon Lord finds the puppet more and more boring. Just as he's about to order someone to take it apart and throw it away, he discovers something much more interesting.
He can hear the little puppet's thoughts.
When the little puppet praises a demon attendant:
"Sister, your hair ornament is so colorful and beautiful today. It looks so luxurious."
Its thoughts: "It's painful to look at!"
When the little puppet praises him:
"Your Lordship, you are noble, dashing, and mighty. You're every demon's dream man."
Its thoughts: "The Demon Lord is petty and narrow-minded, skinny as a rail, and would fall over if you pushed him. He clearly can't perform."
The Demon Lord: ???
He sneers. "How do you know whether I can perform if you haven't tried?"
The little puppet: "Your Lordship is so powerful. Of course you can."
Its thoughts: "You pervert, get away from me!!!"
*
Later, the little puppet picked up by the Demon Lord suddenly disappears without a trace, and the Demon Lord wears a murderous expression every day.
All the demons in the Demon Realm have to walk with their tails between their legs.
Then one day, the righteous sects of the Immortal Path launch an attack on the Demon Realm.
The Demon Lord leads his troops into battle, but suddenly hears a familiar, incessantly chattering inner voice.
He narrows his eyes, his cold gaze fixed on a slender figure across the battlefield. He looks as if he has been betrayed and is grinding his teeth in fury.
Pei Yu, the righteous sect's saintess, who lost her memory after being injured and possessed a puppet before the Demon Lord found her: ...Is it too late for me to run away?
#Bad-tempered Demon Lord x Saintess of the righteous sect who doesn't want to be one
#Probably a silly, sweet little story. The little puppet will turn into a human and fall in love with the Demon Lord.
