Blurb:
The little Taoist Meng Wu got struck by lightning while changing someone's fate. When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated into the body of a distant cousin who'd come to the Changning Marquis's household to sponge off them.
Seeing all the gold and jewels she'd been given, money-loving Meng Wu was ecstatic. The whole family is a bunch of walking treasure chests? Better cling to them!
But before her smile had even faded, she was horrified to discover that everyone in the household was a villain and a short-lived ghost!
Over her cousin, the young general heir, was a countdown: [Falsely accused of conspiring with the enemy and betraying the country, his entire family will be executed...]
Over her second cousin, a spoiled young master: [Set up to harass the female lead, then fed to the dogs by the male lead. Countdown...]
Over her arrogant, overbearing younger cousin: [Offends the female lead, loses her virginity and is disfigured. Countdown...]
Everyone in the household, young and old, had their own way of dying.
Dark, baleful energy filled the residence, shrouding it in death.
Remembering that she'd just been struck by lightning, Meng Wu shuddered. Her life was the priority. Run!
But before she could make her escape, the short-lived ghosts suddenly started acting completely out of character!?
For example:
Her younger cousin, who used to look down on her, would occasionally stuff a gold hair ornament into her hands. “Tasteless thing. It's perfect for you!”
Her second cousin showered her with silver notes every day. “Little Sister A-Wu, take these and spend them however you like!”
The elders of the household also kept showering her with money at every opportunity.
Meng Wu: ? Is this how it's supposed to work?
-
Recently, everyone in the capital has noticed that the Changning Marquis's household, from the oldest to the youngest, has gone mad over one cousin.
The troublesome siblings have become her constant shadows, while the Dowager Lady of the household can't stop calling her “darling.”
The Marquis's heir even voluntarily hands over his military seal to secure an imperial decree granting him permission to marry her.
Everyone mocks them: “Idiots!”
The Marquis's household: “You're the idiots!”
Then one day, when they met Meng Wu's eyes, they were horrified to discover that they could hear her thoughts!
Reader's guide:
1. Completely fictional setting! Completely fictional setting! Completely fictional setting!
2. An illogical, feel-good power fantasy. The entire plot exists to serve the female lead.
3. A story involving the supernatural. When the female lead stares at someone, she can see the course of their life, including its ups and downs. In return, that person can hear her thoughts.
