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.

One of the best short ghost stories is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. In this story, the narrator is haunted by the vulture - like eye of an old man. His obsession drives him to commit a heinous crime, and then he is consumed by the sound of the old man's still - beating heart, which he imagines he can hear even after the man is dead. It's a chilling exploration of guilt and madness.

A great ghost short story often has a really spooky atmosphere. For example, in 'The Tell - Tale Heart', the way Poe describes the narrator's paranoia and the old man's room at night creates a sense of dread. Also, strong characters are important. In 'The Monkey's Paw', the family's desperation and fear as they face the consequences of their wishes make the story engaging. And a good twist, like in 'The Turn of the Screw' where we're not sure if it's real ghosts or the governess's madness, can make a ghost short story one of the best.

Character development is key. In a good Victorian short ghost story, the characters need to be believable. Take 'The Phantom Coach' by Amelia B. Edwards. The main character's journey from disbelief to terror is well - crafted. The plot twists are another factor. A sudden revelation like in 'The Turn of the Screw' by Henry James can make a story stand out.

There was a young girl living in an old apartment. She often heard strange sounds at night, like someone knocking on the door, but she couldn't open it. One day, she found that her key was missing, but she found a new key at home. She wasn't sure if the key had led her to a strange place, but she couldn't go back to her room. She was trapped in the apartment and kept hearing that strange sound. She tried to find a way out, but the doors were locked. At last, she found a secret passage through which she could enter another room. But when she opened the door, she saw a terrible scene: her apartment was full of ghosts and these ghosts were trying to catch her. She fled in horror until she reached the end of the secret passage. She found that she had left the apartment, but she kept hearing that strange sound. She didn't know if she had been captured by the ghosts.
