Shi Suihao is a half-baked demon hunter who performs spirit-medium rituals for a living and dabbles in staged accidents on the side.
She ended up with this unusual career after nearly starving to death and accidentally swallowing an ancient demon pill.
Since then, her life has followed more or less the same routine:
By day, she gives acupuncture to paper dolls, does makeup for mannequins, smacks evil spirits with a spatula, and mixes incense ash with talisman paper and water. That'll be nine coins, please.
By night, her beautiful creditor, who coughs up a large bowl of blood every day, grabs her face and warns her: If you dare mess around with the demon pill in your belly again, this Lord will eat you!
Day in, day out. It couldn't be more regular.
But later, she finally understands:
The demon pill as a quick fix to keep her alive was a lie. The thousand-year-old sin of killing a god was the truth.
His penny-pinching scheming was a lie. Defying fate to change her destiny was the truth.
And she... is pretty touched.
I earned five taels of silver performing a spirit-medium ritual at Auntie Wang's house this afternoon! I'll give you thirty percent!
That white porcelain vase you broke this morning is an antique from a previous dynasty! That's fifty taels off your bill!
I'm pretty good at spirit-medium rituals. How about I perform one for you, and you give me a massive discount?
I'm pretty good at hitting people, too. How about I give you a massive beating?
A sharp-tongued, money-grubbing charlatan x a broke Divine Lord who says one thing and means another
