After Ye Qingwu transmigrated into a book, she had the misfortune of becoming a ghost. After working at a inexplicably strange haunted house, she was lucky enough to be "adopted" by a young Daoist priest.
The priest was called Jiang Yusheng. When the old Celestial Master passed away, he left him a dilapidated temple and... a stack of marriage contracts from wealthy heiresses.
Isn't this just one of those urban power fantasies about a carefree young master?
Jiang Yusheng just wants to laze around, but Ye Qingwu takes one look at the stream of high-quality female characters flocking to him and is instantly on high alert. No way! Someone's trying to steal my meal ticket!
And so, Qingwei Temple starts looking like this:
Heiress A shows up with a magical treasure: "Master Jiang, my family will help you restore your temple!"
Ye Qingwu (invisible), blowing a cold breeze from the sidelines: "She's up to no good. Next!"
A genius female cultivator comes to discuss the Dao: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, if we cultivate together, we can surely bring glory to the Daoist sect!"
Ye Qingwu (appearing for half a second), baring her teeth: "See? I'm the real wife (pretending)!"
Jiang Yusheng looks helplessly at the little ghost baring her claws beside him, silently tears up a marriage contract, and smiles at her. "Stop trying to scare them off. I didn't come down the mountain to pick a bride. I came to give you a proper place in my life. Your name has always been the only one on the temple's household register."
Ye Qingwu: "??? I really was just trying to find a meal ticket for life!"
