Shao Qingting was a popular vase actress in the entertainment industry of the 1990s. In private, she was an all-around exorcist with exceptional ghost-catching skills. Though hot-tempered and prone to overacting, she was extremely good at driving away evil and dispelling misfortune. But one careless mistake landed her in a psychiatric hospital after someone set her up.
Her master said, “Your fate seems to have reached its end, but there's still a glimmer of hope. I've done the math for you, and it won't be long, just 25 years. Hang in there a little longer.”
Shao Qingting: “...Who said I was going to hang in there!”
But when she awoke one day, she had gone from a psychiatric sanatorium to a VIP room in a high-end private hospital 25 years in the future.
In this era, she'd gone from a famous actress to a nobody. After shamelessly piggybacking on a top actress by claiming they'd be together on the moon, fans and gossip accounts had berated her until she suffered a depressive episode and swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills in a suicide attempt.
Shao Qingting scrambled to her master's home and knocked on the door. “Master, open up! It's me, your disciple from 25 years ago.”
Her master stood behind the door at three in the morning. “...Are you 25 years old?”
Shao Qingting: “Thirty years ago, you charged the boss of the Sun Corporation an extra 500,000 yuan to inspect his house.”
Her master: “?!”
“So it was you! My good disciple!”
After Shao Qingting was discharged, her company decided to keep her out of the public eye for a while to avoid the controversy, leaving her to fend for herself.
Her master said, “I've thought it over. If all else fails, you can tell people's fortunes, read the feng shui of their homes, or help them find lost things online. Technology is advanced now, so there aren't that many supernatural things around. Just remember not to show your face.”
Shao Qingting: “...Really?”
She opened the internet, still unsure.
Netizen A: “Master, strange noises start up where I live every night. Can you tell me what's going on?”
Shao Qingting: “Could you stop getting paranoid every time you watch a horror movie? Send me a photo.”
Netizen A: “I sent it in a private message, Master.”
Looking at the female ghost hanging in the room in the photo, Shao Qingting said, “...Buddy, maybe you should just move?”
Netizen A: “Ah... It's hard to find a place with affordable rent these days. Master, am I going to die? If I won't, I'll just keep living here.”
Shao Qingting: ?
Netizen B: “Master, this is the wealth-attracting talisman I got last month. Can you tell me if these symbols mean it'll bring wealth?”
Shao Qingting: “Throw it away. This thing might bring in a little money, but it blocks your romantic prospects.”
Netizen B: “Really?! I'll make sure to keep it on me day and night!”
Shao Qingting: ??
Netizen C: “Master, my boyfriend cheated on me. Is there a talisman or spell that can make him unlucky?”
Shao Qingting: “A spell like that will backfire on you, and it's expensive. Just dump him.”
The next second, a string of gift notifications appeared in her inbox.
Shao Qingting: “...On second thought, we really can't let scumbags have it too easy.”
#You used to call me crazy when I said I caught ghosts. Why are you all crazier than me now?#
#I love the world after being reborn. Everyone's mental state is just as beautiful as mine.#
