Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

Chi Shuyan lived miserably in her past life. She obviously has great fortune, but it is ‘borrowed’, and so her great fortune turns into bad luck—a good hand turns rotten. Her family falls apart and dies. Her relatives take possession of her properties. She is reported for cheating during the college entrance exams. Her future is in total ruins. And she still foolishly feels grateful to her best friend who had orchestrated it all. Until one day, a Celestial Master spots the deception and takes her as her apprentice. Chi Shuyan rises from the ashes, becoming a blood-soaked demoness, whose name makes people tremble in fear as she slays all evil people. This ends up ending her own life. Reborn once more, she returns to when she is 17-year-old with the memories of her previous life before the college entrance exam. In this life, she is endowed with supernatural powers and can foresee anyone's fate and future with great accuracy. She vows to trample on all those who caused her family's ruin in her past life. But before she can exact her revenge… One day, she touches a business magnate, and sees herself wearing some kind of cat ears sexy outfit coming out of the bathroom before kneeling at the man's suit pants, calling him Daddy! Chi Shuyan is shocked: How bad is my life going to be in the future? How can it be so indecent! Qi Zhenbai, the ruler of the powerful and deep-rooted Qi family in the capital, fully deserves being God’s favored one - handsome in appearance, indifferent in character, iron-blooded and strong in means and the second most sought after bachelor in the city. He is a hotshot, except for being so weak and sickly that doctors have determined that he won't live past 30. His past life ended at 29. However, this life is fated to be a little different after meeting her. Making money in summer vacation. "There are too many crooks these days."  “Exactly, they perfectly able, but they don't look for a good job.” A group of people points at Chi Shuyan, who has set up a fortune telling stall. On the one hand, she is discouraged from pretending to be a swindler, but also encouraged to resemble one slightly. Chi Shuyan stays firm, drawing talismans while sucking on a lollipop.  One month later… "Master Chi, fortunately you told my fortune. You allowed me to escape the misfortune." "Master Chi, how much is this Ghost Ward Talisman? I want 10 of them!" "Master Chi, can you help me calculate my family's luck in passing? Money is not a problem." People’s eyes glow as they look at Chi Shuyan collecting excessive amounts of money. To look so sage-like even when doing a tacky task of collecting money, she's indeed an erudite expert.

Ghost stories act as a vehicle for expressing societal fears. Consider the fear of loneliness in modern society. There are ghost stories where the apparition is a lonely figure, representing the isolation that many people feel. Also, economic fears can be expressed. If there is a fear of poverty in society, a ghost story might tell of a spirit that was once poor and is now seeking revenge or relief.

Ghost stories often mirror cultural fears. In Western cultures, ghosts are sometimes associated with sins of the past not being atoned for. For example, a haunted house might be the result of a murder or some other immoral act committed there long ago. In Asian cultures, ghosts can represent unfulfilled duties or improper burials. In Japanese ghost stories, like 'Yotsuya Kaidan', the vengeful ghost is often a woman wronged in life. So, ghost stories are a way for cultures to express their hidden anxieties and taboos.

The salted fish female supporting role, she just wants to lie down

Su Miaoyu had liked to read novels since she was young. She was extremely envious of the plot in the novel. She was arrogant and fell in love with the fast-acting and face-slapping type of novels. She could not help but want to learn all kinds of skills. Su Miaoyu, who was not afraid of death, did all kinds of things that could transmigrate, but she did not get the system that could help her realize her wish of face-slapping. It was just that when she had already given up on the ward area and was ready to step into the nursing home to enjoy her old age with her old friends, she was taken away by the salted fish revival system that was decades late to carry out a mission. The dumbfounded Su Miaoyu refused to admit defeat and prepared to be a salted fish. However, reality did not cooperate. In addition to the various instigations of the system at the beginning, she finally managed to subdue the system as a little fan. However, the system's superior could not see her comfortable. Every time she transmigrated, there would be a problem with the plot or someone would cause trouble. Su Miaoyu, who was a salted fish, didn't want to make a comeback at all. Unfortunately, she owed the system a huge sum of money and could only think of ways to fulfill her dream of being a salted fish while paying off the debt. In the first world, she had finally fallen in love with a single mother, but she was stabbed by Mo Chengyuan, who was controlled by the world's consciousness. From then on, she had a shadow over men. In the second world, she even met Mo Chengyuan, who had the same name as her and looked the same as her. Her mission in this world was to survive from him, and Su Miaoyu, who had no plot hints, lived carefully… (I don't know if there will be a male protagonist in this novel. According to my initial expectations, there will be one, but it's hard to say for sure now. Everyone, be careful.)
