Tang Suwan, a great talisman master in the cultivation world, failed her ascension tribulation and returned to the underworld as a soul. The King of Hell treated her like an old buddy and invited her to a lavish feast. He swore he would make sure she got a good reincarnation. But when she opened her eyes, Tang Suwan had become a war refugee who had fled to Hong Kong from Longguo in the 1950s!
Her whole family was crammed into a tiny room of less than ten square meters in Kowloon Walled City!
Above her were her elderly paternal and maternal grandparents.
And below her were one, two, three, four... seven younger siblings in all.
Then there were her father and mother, who couldn't even hurt a fly...
Tang Suwan nearly had a heart attack!
Just let it all end!
That rotten King of Hell!
So much for being old buddies. You really can't trust a single word a man says!
In the end, the family relied on a sweet soup recipe from Grandma Tang's family to set up a stall in Kowloon Walled City.
As the eldest child, Tang Suwan drew plenty of customers with her pretty, adorable face. But a kidnapping case involving a wealthy family dragged her into the orbit of Hong Kong's bigwigs...
With her ability to draw talismans in the air, Tang Suwan rescued the hostage with ease.
The wealthy tycoon was holding a press conference and offering a million-dollar reward for the rescue: ...
The gang bosses were rubbing their hands together, ready to save the hostage and claim the reward: ...
Detective Fu Luhui was leading a team to investigate and prepare for the rescue: ...
Tang Suwan smiled serenely. “So easy!”

Since the 1950s, a saying has circulated in Hong Kong: if you want to solve a case, just find Master Tang.
Whether you're looking for a person or an object, or investigating a murder... there is no case Master Tang can't solve.
There's another widespread saying among Hong Kong's powerful figures: you can offend anyone but Master Tang. Otherwise, she has plenty of ways to make you wish you were dead, with no way to voice your grievances!
