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.

Well, one characteristic is the use of tragic backstories for the ghosts. These could be due to unfair treatment, like in 'Okiku's Well' where Okiku was killed because she refused to be part of her master's improper advances. Another aspect is the way they play on emotions such as pity and fear at the same time. The ghosts are often portrayed as pitiable figures, but also fearsome due to their supernatural abilities. And the cultural elements in these stories, like the importance of honor and family, play a role in creating the sad scenarios. For instance, a ghost may be seeking revenge because their family was dishonored. This all contributes to the overall sad and often complex nature of Japanese ghost stories.

Sure. 'The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter' has a rather sad aspect to it in relation to the moon princess. She has to leave the mortal world and those she loves behind, which is a melancholy turn of events. Also, 'Okiku's Well' is a sad story. Okiku was a maid who was wronged and her spirit haunts the well, with her counting plates as a sign of her lingering sorrow.

Real Scary Japanese Ghost Stories: Why are Japanese ghost stories so scary?

Japanese ghost stories are scary because they often play on deep - seated cultural fears. For example, the idea of vengeance from the dead is a strong theme. When someone has been wronged in life, like in 'Yotsuya Kaidan', their spirit comes back to right the wrongs, which is a terrifying concept as it shows that death doesn't end a grudge. Also, the settings are often in familiar places like homes or public areas, making it easier for the audience to imagine such things happening to them.
