What's it like to travel from a cyberpunk world to the modern day and open a Taoist temple?
Meng Yu: It's great.
After coming to 2023 from a cyberpunk world full of bloodshed, Meng Yu is very happy with her life as a Taoist priest in the ancient world (x). Every day, she pets little demons and beats up ghosts and monsters, living the peaceful life she always wanted.

That is, until Lingzhen Temple becomes famous online as a cyberpunk Taoist temple, and worshippers and tourists start pouring in.
Someone suspects she's a fake Taoist priest who is just using the temple to promote and sell products. Meng Yu only smiles.
You say she can't tell fortunes? Sorry, a quantum computer can calculate your entire future in one second.
You say she can't draw talismans? Sorry, electronic talismans are sent straight to worshippers' phones, banishing evil automatically and seamlessly, safely and in an environmentally friendly way.
You say she can't exorcise ghosts?
Meng Yu chuckles, rolls up her sleeve, reveals her mechanical prosthetic, and picks up a ghost to beat it.
Bystanders: ??? What kind of black technology is this?!

Later, some of the country's top tech companies come knocking.
Meng Yu, once a big shot killer, is ice-cold: Go away. Don't disturb me while I cultivate immortality.
