I Own a Paper Effigy Shop

Jiang Suiyan returned to the county town where she was born, planning to enjoy a quiet retirement while running the family's paper effigy shop. But she couldn't even get a single peaceful day. She stepped outside and saw a blood-red sunset. Unable to resist, she cast a divination. Yep, a major disaster was coming. A huge inheritance delivered right to her door led to evil spirits from over a century ago. What could a dutiful descendant like her do? Roll up her sleeves and get to work. One abnormal incident after another seemed to become the last straw, the beginning of a great calamity for heaven and earth. The supernatural was reviving, and disasters were happening everywhere. Abnormalities left over from history ruthlessly devoured human lives. As an external support operative for the Abnormal Affairs Administration, Jiang Suiyan was given an urgent mission to lead a team into a deadly haunted realm from which no one returned alive. Countless eyes turned toward the team, watching them disappear and waiting for them to return. During an agonizing night without sleep, a speck of golden light, like the start of a prairie fire, ignited the haunted realm, setting it ablaze with karmic flames. Jiang Suiyan emerged from the firelight and yawned sleepily. "Remember to pay me overtime." The Administration: ...What are you waiting for?! Give Boss Jiang the budget for the next three years, right now! After doing all the work and leaving the cleanup to others, Jiang Suiyan went home for a nap, opened her shop, and set out an advertising sign. "Jiang Family Paper Effigy Shop. We sell incense, candles, paper effigies, and all kinds of funeral supplies. We also offer all kinds of rites to send spirits on their way. Take a number and wait in line. Prices vary by customer. Buy it or don't." [Reader's guide] 1. The heroine is the strongest character throughout. The male lead is probably a hopeless romantic. 2.

New novel, coming soon [She Is a Dragon] Science Fiction Jiang Xianyi opens her eyes and discovers she's transmigrated into a strange body. The girl in the mirror has pale golden scales covering parts of her body, two little biscuit-shaped horns on her forehead, and eyes that narrow into vertical pupils whenever her emotions rise. But none of that is the point. The point is that she's starving, absolutely starving, and feels like she could eat a whole cow in one sitting! But the money in her pocket is barely enough to buy a bottle of water. While Jiang Xianyi is trying to figure out how to make money, an admission offer is handed to her. A military academy scholarship: tuition, room, and board are covered, and she even gets a monthly stipend. The catch is that she has to go to the front lines after graduating. Other people would steer clear of an offer like that. Jiang Xianyi's eyes light up. I can pilot mechs for free?! * The annual military academy tournament begins, and an unknown freshman from a remote planet upsets the odds and wins the championship. The next year, the talented students from every academy are eager to settle the score. But last year's freshman has already mastered morphing armor, and a majestic golden dragon sweeps through the competition, finishing the individual ranking matches at a record-breaking speed. In the third year, when the tournament begins, the golden dragon is soaring with its head held high on the distant and dangerous first line of defense. From then on, the insectoid armies are driven back again and again. Finally, on an ordinary afternoon, the news that the insectoids have vanished and the war is over spreads across the Alliance. The Alliance celebrates the news, while the greatest hero and the strongest person in the Alliance curls up on a mountaintop, gazing at the empty battlefield with drooping whiskers. "My spicy crawfish..." A proud little red bird lands on the golden dragon's nose and flaps its wings with pride. "My ranch has already bred something that tastes even better than crawfish..." The golden dragon perks up in an instant. "You're going to treat me to a meal?!" Theme: Hope is something you have to hold on to yourself.
