The moment Zhu Ling woke up inside a bronze coffin, she inherited a Taoist temple.
A chubby parrot with a foul mouth and a love of swearing lived on one of the temple's rafters.
And two little rice-cake dumplings, one big and one small, gazed at her hopefully and asked, "Are you our mother?"
Zhu Ling was dumbfounded. She was an unmarried young woman. How could she have children?
Looking at the dilapidated temple, where incense had long since stopped burning, she sighed.
With so many mouths to feed, she'd have to find a way to make ends meet.
As she learned new things, she registered an account for the temple and began learning how to livestream.
In the livestream:
An old ghost was cornered by a young woman and asked miserably, "Who are you, anyway?"
The girl replied coolly, "Your ancestor!"
Viewers: Those special effects are terrifying!!
You've got to admit, they're pretty realistic! Though she's got a real attitude.
After Zhu Ling finished catching the ghost, she read the comments and explained earnestly, "I really am their ancestor."
She'd been asleep for a thousand years, so of course she was the ancestor of these little ghosts.
Viewers: She's young, but she sure talks big!
Later, more and more ghost-catching videos appeared, and the temple's livestreams became a top-tier star trending topic.
Viewers: So ghosts and monsters are real after all!
Those flying paper people are real too!
Zhu Ling, you're my ancestor, my dearest, most beloved ancestor!!
