Lin Sanshui was a country girl from a remote village, making her way in the world, when one day a Taoist priest stopped her and asked to take her as his disciple.
With extraordinary talent and ability, she became increasingly
unnoticed in the mystical world.
One day, someone came by and asked:
"Can you read fortunes?"
Lin Sanshui: "Let me look it up."
"Can you practice feng shui?"
Lin Sanshui: "Ask my master."
"Can you draw talismans and perform rituals?"
Lin Sanshui: "Ask my senior brother."
Everyone said the old Taoist priest's temple would be in good hands, and praised him for his keen eye in picking up such a "fine" disciple.
The old Taoist priest beamed with satisfaction. "Of course! My disciple is brilliant!"
Her fellow disciple: "Grandpa, they're making fun of you."
Lin Sanshui: "I'm not bald yet, Master."

An entertainer whose songs were more famous than she was became a top-tier star after appearing in a TV series, making a complete career change.
A poor production crew on the verge of cancellation helped the police solve a major case, then won investment from all sides and a nomination for the year's Best Picture Golden Statue Award.
An award-winning actor and a diva, long thought to be sworn enemies, were revealed to have a tragic love story: their grandparents had given up their romance for their country. The two stars reunited to continue their unfinished story, and their fans couldn't stop shipping them.
A dilapidated theater rumored to be haunted went viral because of a video of a once-in-a-century Peking opera performance from the 1980s. It was renovated, and crowds kept coming.
Lin Sanshui, assistant to Mingyu Entertainment's CEO, said with a serious face: "None of this has anything to do with me."
The entertainer whose fortune reading said she was fated to be alone: "What?"
The director who saw someone knock a vicious criminal flat with a simple hand gesture: "Huh?"
The award-winning actor's younger brother, whose feng shui was criticized as worthless and who could see ghosts: "Is that something a person would say?"
The diva whose family tree had been laid bare: "Oh..."
The ghosts: "You'd be better off believing us than her!"
Lin Sanshui: "What does Junior Sister Ding Xinxia of Qingyun Temple have to do with me, Assistant Lin?"
Ding Xinxia: "Hmm?"

Lin Sanshui figured that if she did her job well and kept her eyes on the prize, she could save enough money to go home, buy a mountain, and retire. Apart from that, she just wanted to loaf around.
When Ming Yue found out she had a side job
Ming Li (pleasantly): "A-Miao, do you have a side job?"
Lin Sanshui (calmly): "Yes, boss."
Ming Li (nodding): "What kind of side job?"
Lin Sanshui (righteously): "I organize social practice activities."
This is the bittersweet story of a master of slacking off, a true peak expert in the mystical arts, forced to join a Taoist temple, only to discover that her Buddhist rivals are her direct superiors.

Taoists think Buddhists can only tell people to lay down their weapons and chant scriptures, and can't do anything else.
Buddhists think Taoists have no discipline and can't shoulder the task of saving all living beings.
When Taoists sacrifice themselves in times of chaos, their spirits willingly bear countless sins and eternal suffering to prevent devastation among the living.
When Buddhists walk thousands of miles to guide the souls of those who cannot return home, their temples resound with ceaseless chants.
Buddhism: "With one pure thought of faith, one may become a Buddha."
Taoism: "There are countless paths in the Dao, and Buddhism is one of them!"
#Taoist assistant x Buddhist boss
#A willful, powerful divine being in her past life, a laid-back and seemingly obedient heroine in this one x a Buddhist in his past life, a man who rules the business world in this one
