As the renowned celestial master admired by everyone in the whole circle, Yu Fei wakes up one day to find herself transmigrated into a vicious supporting female character in a book, who happens to share her name.
She had gone to great lengths to marry the wealthy male lead, only to end up being frightened to death by a little ghost in a rented apartment. She disappears without a trace right at the beginning of the story, paving the way for someone else to reap the rewards.
Remembering the original novel's plot, which was about as childish as playing house, Yu Fei can't be bothered to play along. Dating is no match for making money. Looking at the red marriage certificate in her hand and the three-digit balance left in her account, she makes a quick calculation.
Wealth lies to the southeast.

After finally taking a low-paying private job to deal with a ghost at someone's request, Yu Fei has barely stepped into the eerily atmospheric park when the crew filming Let's Go Ghost Hunting drag her onto the show.
Watching the frail girl on screen, the viewers sit back and wait for a good show:
[She's a newcomer. We'll get to hear screams again.]
[The girl looks so cute. She'll probably cry for ages after one scare.]
[I bet she'll be frightened into running home to her mom within three days.]

The crew sets up cameras to capture every expression on the participants' faces, while falsely claiming that ghosts don't exist in a harmonious society.
The other guests nervously clutch all kinds of "magic treasures," trembling with fear.
Yu Fei grabs a pale, ghostly arm reaching out from who-knows-where, then holds her chin and carefully examines the ghost's face. "Just an ordinary earthbound spirit. Thirty thousand, and I'll make it disappear."

The viewers stare wide-eyed, trying to spot signs of a script in Yu Fei's every move.
They don't find a script. Instead, they watch the seemingly delicate girl drag one, two, three, four ghosts out of every corner of the set and tie them up like dumplings.
Looking at the dumbfounded crew, Yu Fei reaches out without a hint of shame. "Bulk discount. Eighty percent off for your first order, and even bigger discounts for long-term clients. You can also top up a membership card. Here's my business card. Come again!"
Viewers: ??? I must be dreaming.
Just as the viewers' worldviews begin to shift, Yu Fei suddenly leans toward the camera, putting on a bashful expression.
"Everyone, believe in science. These are just tricks I use to make money."
Viewers: Like hell I'll believe you.
Viewers: She's no little girl. She's clearly a fearsome auntie.

As the CEO of a wealthy family, Jiang Ming has no shortage of money or power. His only shortcomings are his frail health and his ability to attract ghosts.
After years of trying to free himself from evil spirits, he finally finds the original female lead, a celestial master who makes her living exorcising them.
He offers a fortune for treatment, but she refuses. "I'm afraid my skills aren't up to the task, but I can introduce you to my master."
"My master is an elderly woman who can communicate with ghosts and gods. The little evil spirit attached to you should be no trouble for her."
Jiang Ming follows the original female lead's pointing finger and sees a person in the crowd surrounded by influential figures from every walk of life, all fawning over her. To his surprise, it's none other than his wife in name only.
Jiang Ming: "...What?"
Moral: A positive attitude leads to a brighter tomorrow.
