[Blurb]

Below, the underworld has its Judge of the Dead; above, the world of the living has its Spirit Officials.

Gu Zhao, the last Spirit Official of the mystic sect, came back to life, only to find herself held back by useless descendants, while even telling someone's fortune could get her sued for operating without a license.

These days, even dealing with ghosts involved online forum lotteries and livestreamed variety shows.

Her useless descendant clung to her leg. “Little Ancestor, save me!”

Gu Zhao: “...”

Forget it. It's one of our own kids. Beating them to death would be a waste.

The show had a reputation for fake stories, plots that relied entirely on acting, and scares created in post-production.

Viewers: Welcome to a low-budget version of The World of Science!

But it turned out that the paranormal show really did have ghosts.

A house whose layout changed into a mirror image every day.

A remote mountain village where the Stone Brides kept dying mysterious deaths one after another.

A girl who mysteriously vanished after trying the “Ten Ways to See a Ghost.”

Amid all the eerie goings-on, viewers watching the livestream screamed in terror. Yet there was Gu Zhao, her clothes fluttering in the breeze, her face lovely as a peach blossom

“Come on. I'll send you on your way.”

To the Road to the Yellow Springs.

White mist filled the sky. The Road to the Yellow Springs opened, and with her body as the boundary, she divided the worlds of yin and yang.

A chill ran through the comments as everyone shouted: Thank you, Little Ancestor, for taking me into the world of the unscientific!

Now that Gu Zhao was famous, she paid no attention to the excited viewers, the wealthy and powerful who kept crowding around to ask her to take them along, or the mystic practitioners rushing to become her disciples.

She looked at the thick stack of penalty notices in her hand, then at the person beside her who was still writing more.

“Can we make a deal? Can you pull some strings and get me a license?”

Highlights:

1. The setting is entirely made up. This is a folklore and supernatural story, with a little research and a lot of invention. Don't nitpick the facts.

2. The Little Ancestor is the best, and all the big moments belong to her. But she isn't a cold, cool, flawless character.

3. There may be a little horror, but there should also be plenty of comedy to break things up.

4. The story occasionally switches to different points of view.

[Preorder Blurb] The Whole Family Is Villainous, but I Farm (Eighties)

Before transmigrating, Shen Xi was an agronomy graduate student who spent every day bent over the fields. Her only concern was whether the neighbor's chicken had eaten her “thesis” for the day.

After transmigrating, she found herself with a famously pretty-boy father, a penny-pinching mother, a brother who was a natural-born criminal-in-the-making, and a life in ruins.

Most importantly... what kind of decent person transmigrates with an experimental farm plot?

From then on, Shen Xi enjoyed a “wonderful” life: persuading her family to turn back from the brink by day, and diligently working the land by night.

Even the production team's oxen weren't worked this hard!

Luckily, as she kept farming, her pretty-boy father got into a prestigious university, her stingy mother became a famous businesswoman, and her “criminal” brother started racking up patents.

Shen Xi looked at her vast experimental fields and calmly pulled out seedless pomegranates, pit-free mangoes...

Later, Shen Xi represented the national agricultural department at an overseas exchange.

Reporter: “Professor Shen, what do you think made you so successful?”

Shen Xi's mouth twitched. “I'd like to thank my family.”

Her villainous family: We'll work hard for Xixi!
