In Daoism, there is no distinction between men and women. Women are called Kun Dao, and men are called Qian Dao. Yet there is one woman who is the exception.
They say she is the source of spiritual power and the first person in the mystic sect to ascend.
The woman in question said, "Do people just make things up now, instead of checking the historical records?"
The historical records replied, "Auntie, just burn me. This little monster isn't worthy of your attention."
The truth was that
Xiaoyao had failed to ascend because she had no love in her heart, and landed inside a fanfiction novel she had read before attempting to ascend.
She, the great Auntie of the mystic sect, had transmigrated into a character who was neither the heroine nor the second female lead.
She was just a minor cannon-fodder character who appeared for a chapter or two near the end to make the heroine look good.
Xiaoyao flicked a finger. "Me, playing cannon fodder for someone else? The whole world can go burn!"
The Heavenly Dao said, "Good daughter, keep a low profile!"
With the Heavenly Dao holding her back, Xiaoyao rested her chin in her hands and gazed at the dilapidated temple. "Forget it. I'd better go down the mountain, make some money, and fix up my old place."
But why hadn't the Heavenly Dao mentioned that there'd be a famous star with the qualities of an endless ATM following her around down the mountain?

Restless Kwon Ji-yong couldn't stand being alone, so he wandered around the bar, looking for pretty girls to chat up and have a drink with.
He read a girl's palm. "Miss, see this line? This is your career line..."
The girl played along. "Oppa, you know so much!"

Suddenly, a chill breeze brushed the back of his neck. Kwon Ji-yong turned around guiltily. "Xiao..."
"Shh." Xiaoyao went straight to an empty seat and fixed him with a sharp, icy gaze. "You've already felt her up. Why not exchange contact information too?"
Kwon Ji-yong blushed. "We were only fooling around. No need for that, right?"

Xiaoyao: "Hmm?"
Kwon Ji-yong: "Miss, let's add each other on WeChat. I'll give you twenty percent off your palm reading."
He couldn't refuse. He was afraid a ghost would beat him up.

One-on-one romance + happy ending
The setting is fictional. The mysticism is inspired by Baidu or made up by the author, so don't take it seriously.
Everyone except the male lead is an original character, with no real-life inspiration.
