The immortal maiden Huo Ling failed to ascend and was banished to the mortal world for a trial. The moment she opened her eyes, she found herself in a disastrous situation: the original owner had no money and was buried under a mountain of loan-shark debt.
To pay off the debt as quickly as possible, Huo Ling began livestreaming fortune-telling. At first, viewers mocked her, but they soon realized that this young woman was actually a master of the occult!
Customer No. 1: "Master, my child could read books and recognize characters when he was only a few months old. Did he forget to drink Granny Meng's soup?"
Huo Ling: "No, he's just possessed by an evil spirit."
Customer No. 1: "That's a relief... Wait, what did you say, Master? How could my child be haunted by an evil spirit?!"
Huo Ling: "You don't know why? Would you like me to call the police?"
After Huo Ling exposed him, Customer No. 1 turned himself in. A disappearance case from a year ago was solved.
Customer No. 2: "Master, I used to be an A-list actress, but for the past two years I've had nothing but bad luck. Scandals keep breaking about me. Can you help turn my luck around?"
Huo Ling: "Let's put that aside for now. Why don't you tell me about the thing you keep at home?"
Customer No. 2: "I keep lots of little animals at home. Should I bring them over?"
Huo Ling: "No, I mean the Kuman Thong you keep in your basement."
The trending topics on Weibo immediately updated:

Customer No. 3: "Master, a handsome guy recently sent me a friend request. Can you tell me if my romantic luck is about to turn around?"
Huo Ling: "It is romantic luck, but it's a ghostly romance."
Customer No. 3: "How can that be? He's alive and well, and he keeps posting recent photos in his Moments!"
Huo Ling: "Look more closely. Don't those recent photos look more and more like black-and-white memorial portraits the longer you stare?"
Customer No. 3 looked carefully for a while, then let out a piercing scream and immediately deleted the handsome guy.
Gradually, Huo Ling's reputation grew. Her followers surpassed a million, and trending topics became a daily occurrence. The world-famous variety show Battle of the Occult invited her to appear, and even the mysterious Esper Bureau sent her an offer. At their invitation, Huo Ling embarked on one mysterious adventure after another...
Reader notes:
1. A strong female lead, little romance, and a male lead with barely any presence.
2. The story is entirely fictional and set in an imaginary world. It's just for entertainment, so don't be superstitious.
3. The plot comes first. Don't overanalyze it.
Next book: The ER Nurse's Daily Fortune-Telling and Gossip
As an emergency room nurse, Yu Jinxiang awakened a gossip System overnight. Mysterious golden exclamation marks began appearing at random above people's heads, and all she had to do was snap her fingers to unlock their juiciest secrets.
At three in the morning, a man rushed into the ER carrying his son. A fishhook had pierced the little boy's mouth, and his face was covered in blood. The man wept helplessly:
"It was an accident! I was just night fishing. Who knew my son was standing behind me? I casually cast my line and ended up hooking my own son. Doctor, please save him!"
Yu Jinxiang activated her all-seeing eye and immediately saw through his lie:
"Sir, it seems you went night fishing for a mermaid! And I'm afraid your son's injury wasn't an accident either, was it?"
At four in the morning, a plump girl was brought into the ER by her parents. Her worried family said, "Doctor, my daughter has had nonstop stomach pains and bleeding down there. What should we do?"
The doctor cautiously asked, "Has the girl had an ultrasound? Is there any chance she could be pregnant?"
The family glared at the doctor. "What are you talking about? My daughter is a good girl. She's never even held a boy's hand!"
The next second, the girl spread her legs, and the baby's head appeared.
Yu Jinxiang slapped the table and shouted:
"This is bad! Your daughter was lured and abused. The culprit committed a crime against a minor and is a wanted fugitive. If you don't catch him now, he'll be on the run!"
At five in the morning, a mother quietly brought her son into the ER. He undid his shirt, revealing a pair of swollen breasts. His mother said nervously:
"Doctor, my son is looking more and more like a woman. His body has changed, and his voice keeps getting higher. Could he be possessed by a female ghost?"
The doctor made no comment and simply ordered some tests for the boy.
Before the results came back, Yu Jinxiang beat everyone to the punch and played fortune-teller:
"Ma'am, your son isn't possessed by a ghost. Someone gave him estrogen. The person who drugged him is..."
With Yu Jinxiang's help, one criminal after another was punished, and the victims received the compensation they deserved. The emergency department gradually became the liveliest department in the hospital, and patients from other departments kept coming to watch. Yu Jinxiang led the whole hospital in trading gossip, and life was more exciting than ever!
One day, Yu Jinxiang saw a tall, straight-backed man coming out of the men's health clinic and couldn't help thinking, "Tsk, tsk, that young fellow is pretty handsome. What a shame he can't..."
Suddenly, the man stopped and glanced back at her meaningfully.
Yu Jinxiang panicked. "Could he hear my thoughts? No, no way."
A few months later, the man cornered Yu Jinxiang against a wall. With a mischievous smile, he slowly leaned toward her and said:
"You guessed right. I really can hear your thoughts. Today, I'll show you just how much I can do."
