Synopsis
On her eighteenth birthday, Elizabeth awakened the weakest and most useless kind of magic: water magic.
This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. Magical beasts ran rampant, resources were scarce, and humans were constantly harassed by demons, barely holding on to their rule over the Central Plains. That was why offensive magic was so highly prized, while Elizabeth's magic was only good for watering flowers.
With her meager magical power and both parents dead, Elizabeth had only one possible fate: to be at others' mercy and live off their charity.
Fortunately, by a twist of fate, she came across an encyclopedia of poisons. The problem was that every poisonous creature in it seemed to live in the frontier regions occupied by demons. With her current abilities, there was no way she could make it back in one piece.
Elizabeth: To survive or to perish, that is a question worth pondering...
So she chose... both! With the only 200 gold coins she had, she hired a companion to protect her.
But... why was this new partner starting to look more and more like that living legend, her idol?

"An Honest Person with a Ghost Magnet Constitution"
Lin Mu always thought she was just an ordinary person, except that ghosts sometimes seemed to take a special interest in her.
She could sleep soundly until morning in the haunted house where three people had gone mad.
After spending a night locked in an abandoned school building where several students had gone missing, she came out without a scratch.
The upside was that she could always rent the cheapest apartments.
The downside was that everyone around her thought she was possessed by ghostly energy and was afraid to get close to her.
Lin Mu had thought she would go on living this peaceful, uneventful life forever. Then the apartment building where she lived started having ghostly disturbances. The rent kept dropping, but it was her only asset!
Lin Mu couldn't sit still any longer.
Take my life if you want, but leave my apartment alone!
Lin Mu didn't expect her words to come true so quickly. She encountered a ghost and nearly died.
Fortunately, a mysterious underworld officer came to her rescue.
Of course, nothing in this world comes for free. The price was being chained to the underworld officer and turned into a portable "power bank."

Jiang Lan defied all objections and sneaked into the human world to investigate a murder, nearly losing his soul in the process.
Luckily, there was a way out. The woman before him, who was constantly radiating yin energy, was just what he needed to replenish his power.
Jiang Lan had expected Lin Mu to be a burden, but...
The female ghost who had been making a racket in the apartment building for ages quieted down when she saw Lin Mu.
"Mango! Mango!"
The eerie song that always rang out in the amusement park at midnight turned into the cheerful song Good Luck Is Coming after Lin Mu arrived.
"Do you like this song? I'll sing it for you~"
The wedding dress that bled through as soon as anyone put it on still looked spotless in front of Lin Mu.
"Big Sister, would you take me with you?"
As Jiang Lan watched more and more ghosts gather around Lin Mu, his expression grew darker and darker.

"Are you feeling unwell?"
Jiang Lan buried his face in the crook of Lin Mu's neck and held her in his arms, completely still, as if he were very weak.
Lin Mu was a little puzzled:
Strange? Didn't holding hands used to be enough...?
A slow-witted, practical ordinary person vs. an arrogant, sharp-tongued, jealous ghost
