Rich anonymous 1: I heard that the abducted daughter of Mayor Chen’s family was finally found, it’s rumored that she was sold to the deep remote mountain area and had suffered a lot.

Rich anonymous 2: I heard that the daughter of Mayor Chen’s family is a fool, she claims that she can see ghosts everyday.

Rich anonymous 3: I heard that the daughter of Mayor Chen’s family forcibly kissed Minister Lou’s family third son.

(Everyone with frightened faces: She dares to provoke Lou Ming?!)

Chen Yu pushed Lou Ming onto the sofa and kissed him for a while.

Chen Yu said: “Don’t worry third brother I will be responsible for you.”

Lou Ming was stunned.

Chen Yu secretly thinking: “How long will I have to wait before I get to kiss third brother again…”

This story is really fun to read. The plot wasn't boring and quite engaging. MC was likeable; she's cheerful, funny, and brave. She also wasn't afraid to take initiative to pursue ML first. As for ML, he's less memorable than MC but what I like the most about him was he always tried to be there for MC and didn't hesitate to save her even at the cost of his life.

As the ending, it's quite satisfying. I especially love how Elder Wu also got his own happy ending. It's just... more>> that, I hope I could see more of MC and ML's life after their marriage.

Spoiler

They reincarnated together for several lifetimes but wasn't able to get together for some reasons (mainly, it's caused by ML's evil qi). So when they're finally together in this lifetime, I wish I could see more of their life after that. It's a pity though because the main story ended after they're married.

[collapse]

Note:

I was aware of the dissatisfaction of some reviewers because of "white skin is beautiful while black skin is ugly" belief in this novel. I didn't know whether the author tried to be racist or not. What I knew was, it's true that most Asians saw the white skin as the mark of beauty and this belief was already rooted and hard to change (just looked at those whitening skin care ads on TV). So I really couldn't blame the author for pointing this out in her/his novel because once again, it's fact that many Asians had this belief. Is their belief wrong? Maybe yes for the onlooker's POV but for them? Maybe not. <<less

Great novel!

Love both the money lover MC and the Silent but kind ML.

Very interesting on how MC is the only one who can be near and have contact with ML, where as with others they get sick when they are near him.

Believe it or not, this novel really caught me! 10/10, love everyone, very low on drama and high on fun. Totally recommended, I mtl-ed most of the chapters but it was still very easy to read.

The translation here though is absolutely excellent, kudos to the translators!

Some highlights of the novel to me were the female lead's personality, the romance, and the humor. A must read and I can see myself re-reading this in the future!

I truly enjoy most of this author’s works and was excited to pick this up! It’s such a light read and truly a gem. I’ve read a lot of novels where the characters perform spiritual things in the modern world - and they tackle this one brilliantly!

4.5 but rounded down.

A very nice supernatural romance that focuses on a badass MC and her quest to save the man she loves.

This is genuinely one of the funniest stories I've read on here. I'll admit that some of it is a little juvenile but it just works with the story. Of course, the story gets more serious (and mildly depressing) as it goes but there are still jokes tossed in regularly.

... more>>
Spoiler

There is a female pe*verted ghost who was shy in life but decides she wants to take advantage of handsome men. These men end up sticky and slimy. Take from that what you will (I admit, I giggled like a thirteen year old).

When the MC encounters a bad Celestial Master who destroyed her talisman, she helps beat him up with a ghost. Her brother shows up and this leads to an awkward moment where she can't think of how to explain. The pe*verted ghost literally shouts "Say he mol*sted you!" and it's pretty hilarious. *Please note that I don't condone false accusations in real life but this is a story and that being the first thing the ghost thought of is what makes it funny.

There is another instance where a couple want to reincarnate together but the City God of the Underworld informed them that they watched too much dramas and that it didn't work like that. Eventually, he agreed to allow them to reincarnage together as animals. Specifically pandas. All because they had done good deeds in their life and the fact that he was getting creeped out by their lovey-dovey acts.

Another example is her Grandpa nonchalantly telling her parents that he used to send her out alone on New Years to exorcise evil spirits. Really, anything with the Grandpa is just hilarious (except that one part), even his pursuit of his love in the Underworld was funny.

[collapse]

The MC is a college-aged student who was stolen as a child. She was rescued by an exorcist after being abandoned at the foot of a mountain. From there, she grew up studying and learning how to be an exorcist like him. She's smart, kind and rather money-driven but she does have a set of morals. A bit naive, it takes the actions of a pe*verted female ghost to help her understand her feelings for the ML and she is the one who begins the pursuit.

Spoiler

She's got a special physique that prevents her from being harmed by evil energy but it also lets her absorb the energy. Which she uses to seal up the ML's evil spirit. And yes, it is by kissing at several points. It's also this kissing that makes her realize she likes the ML as the pervy ghost tells her that if she "kisses someone and can still picture kissing them again, that it's love".

[collapse]

The ML is a slightly older weapons genius who has an evil spirit trapped within him. His whole life has been him staying inside his courtyard with a rotating group of guards (as prolonged contact with him can drive people insane). Upon realizing that the MC is both unafraid of his evil spirit and capable of sealing it, he quickly begins to develop feelings for her. However, he does hold off on acting on his feelings because of his circumstances making it difficult for anyone to live with him. That and the age gap between them. All that goes right out the window when the MC begins to chase him.

The story begins with the MC returning to her family after being raised in a small village. There are some minor little road bumps for her getting started in her new life (like the typical mean girl going against her) but her adaption is relatively quick. It also switches straight into her ghost-busting and interactions with the ML so there isn't much about her school or home life in the story. We do get to know that her father and brother are workaholics while her mother is a bit on the emotional side.

Most of the rest of the story revolves around the MC's interactions with the ML. Even the parts that start without him will end up dragging him into it. This story really is all about the two of them and how they work together. His evil energy is beneficial to her and she's looking for a way to cure him. There isn't a 2nd ML in this story either so it's just them. That being said, their combined backstories are kind of depressing.

Spoiler

Turns out they have both been reincarnated repeatedly over thousands of years. They would find each other and try to solve the ML's problem but he would always die young (before 30 was mentioned at one point in the translation) and the process would then restart. Which is made even more depressing when we learn

The MC was destined to reincarnate into a wonderful life after their initial life but meeting him had changed her fate. The new fate was a short life and then her soul being scattered. Thinking he could prevent it, he broke up with her but that failed.

She was a princess and chose to become a corrupted being (Drought Demon) because her people were slaughtered. To save her, he sealed her power into himself which killed him and set him on the reincarnation loop.

[collapse]

I laughed quite a bit reading this but then things get a little heavy towards the end. We learn about the MC's Grandpa's first (and only) love, the bond between the MC and ML and then an emotional rollercoaster that provides a happy ending.

I enjoyed this but it's definitely not for everyone. <<less

Pure comedy. This is hilarious.

The FL is absolutely shameless, she is witty, petty, money lover, oblivious, cheerful, with just the right dose of naivety, and she is just so pure in her pursuit of the ML.

The bodyguard/assistants are the best wing men I've read in a long time, actually giving good advice and having good assists.

The brother is so comical, and the reactions are priceless.

I love the Grandpa he is awesome.

Love the whole story. 10/10 would recommend.

2-3.5 I can't decide bc I feel like it's really exciting as a story, but the morals in here are slightly weird and then I see some comments with even sketchier morals/opinions and it turns me off of this book. Unexpectedly, this book offers a lot of debate (for non Chinese readers probably). The book itself is a fun daoist supernatural book filled with various ghost stories. I think the MC is strong and confident which is nice. I think the author chose an interesting character arch for the ml.... more>> He's probably gonna have evil spirits after this life too making guns. Lol

The pros are that it's like a comic book: fast paced, gripping, new events, government, etc. I also really love her family. And likee comic books in the past, the stereotypes and morals are rampant and questionable at times. Cons are it has nationalism (even the underworld god has confucianism thinking??), on that the fact our ML is basically making weapons of mass mu*der and I'm supposed to be ok with this? (Look if I don't like my ml's to be serial killers, then why would I like this? I wouldn't like him even if he was working for my country ok.), straight up lying... even though it was a good thing to get that person in trouble but "lie" told was uncomfortable to read, idk usually I don't care about age gaps as long as they're "adult" but.. it depends on the dynamic if it's weird to me, oh yea the author has massive double standards (against guys), and the author is so focused on the concept of mol*sting (men/in general) (as a writing point?) through out the novel. <<less

It’s a 3.5 it’s a cute novel with a silly but still smart FL and a devoted ML. Its quite cute and fluffy. The romance was a bit slow but warmed up quite fast. It’s not my favorite book from the author but it is dealing with a different genre.

It's not bad but not totally outstanding. What I mean is, it's enjoyable but not enough to keep you thrilled. However, if you're looking for a fast read and a funny one, then I guess this story will also do. Tbh, I actually thought that the FL will be OP, but she isn't. She's smart but not overly smart. She's pretty but not a stunning one. She's talented in metaphysics but can't be considered as a genius. In short, she's talented but lacked in many aspects which made her more... more>> realistic (at least compared to my usually liked OP FL's who can do everything plus is a stunning beauty). Honestly speaking, I don't really acknowledge the FL's talent in metaphysics that much. I mean, don't get me wrong, she's indeed talented but I just feel like that whenever she's in trouble, there'll be always someone to rescue her, either her master of the ML, which made her not that likable compared to the ML. I mean, in real life, ofc, if you're in danger and can't solve it alone, ask for help. But anyway, my mind is a mess and I have a high requirement for my FL, I know. And speaking of the ML, he's the real OP but not the domineering and cold type. He's a genius which created an imbalance between him and the FL.

Anyway, I don't know but although the characters are funny, none of them can be my favorite. However, I'll emphasize again, THE STORY ISN'T BAD. IT'S FUNNY AND ENJOYABLE but sometimes, you'll get bored too. I also feel like there's a spark between the ML and FL but rather than saying that they're the couple full of tension and passion, they more or less belong to the wholesome and fluffy type of couple. Anyway, it's 8/10 for me since the good translation quality is also a plus. <<less

Kinda wandering between liking this novel and feeling bored with it.

I’m new with the metaphysical stuff and ngl it is interesting. Somewhat. Tho I do feel like I just kept getting forcefully spoon-fed sometimes. I still like it tho. (sounds masochistic??)

But I find the writing kinda immature. Like, I think it’s very fast paced, events after events keep happening one after another, but considering the plot, of which until now (more than half length of the novel) I can’t get a clear view of. I’m guessing it’s about... more>> stripping off the evil off of ML but as I said until now there’s not a glimpse of it. So I guess it’s all gonna be cram packed in the last third part of the novel and I know I’m not gonna like the fast paced x2 kind of storytelling.

Same with romance by the way, till now I see no chemistry aside from MC being able to be near ML without getting harmed. As in not a single hint of chemistry.
Spoiler

Yes, even when they already kissed twice which is more like CPR. There’s no dokidoki.

[collapse]

Aside from those, the biggest variable for me is the characters. As with the fast pace of the story, there’s no time to really appreciate nor time for the author to really shape up any of the characters. It’s practically like getting labeled with a sticky note like ‘this character is like this’ and that’s it. Not even just for the side characters, the protagonists are also the same, you can see it in the first 10 chapters.

Speaking of the protagonists, ML is like a foil, maybe a light reflector, to make the MC shine more. He’s very flat. An unfortunate, self-sacrificial gentleman. You won’t see any other sides of him aside from that.

Spotlight on the MC, I like her unwavering self-confidence and kindness. But she’s very much like a 10 y/o. That’s it. She’s confident and kind and a 10y/o. If it wasn’t mentioned she’s in college I would’ve continued imagining her as a 10y/o. And everytime her being in college is not mentioned my image of her keeps going back to 10y/o.

So aside from the metaphysics that is fresh to me and the little bit of comedy. There’s nothing really interesting in it for me. <<less

I totally loved it. Comedic ghost stories are very entertaining to me, especially when a whole soul society type of environment is created. The characters are great, I loved their chemistry, highly enjoyed the story, super-enjoyed the humor. Definitely going to reread this in the original text.

Very interesting metaphysics plot with sweet love story tying it all together and a happy resolution of age old danger.

Vhen Yu the FL is adorably energetic and pure and her helping the ML Third Brother ‘stabilise’ his evil qi is hilariously blatant. No angst bt leads just an old inherent danger that they had to resolve. The side story of her Old Grandpa is also a hoot.

May be worth re- reading to understand plot line better

The story had a cliche romance. The supernatural elements were good and interesting. I was amused by some of the interactions between the FL and the other cultivators

The FL's grandfather was my favorite character

This might fall flat for many people because the main character's a hot-tempered, hit-then-ask/think, unapologetic type of person, not excessively so, but still to the point that it can bother you.
On top, the age gap between the main couple spans over a decade (M30, F18). Romance and school life are sub-plots.

So if you don't like these types of MCs and have problems with more prominent age gap couples, this might not be for you. A shame, considering that the ML, for a rare turn, is a caring, warm,... more>> tender, thoughtful type of ML.

The story excels in making the side characters and their own story shine, though, which in return, dims the main plot, turning it flat messy melodramatic clichés.
Without the comedy that was the glue holding everything up together, the moments shared between the CP were awfully boring. The supposed highlight towards the end (for about 30-40chapters) was a laborious track uphill.
The author dangling exposition in front of the reader's noses, giving some bread crumbs here and there was rather irritating than intriguing.
Mostly also because it spanned over too many chapters. Like walking half a step and pausing for 10 minutes and that on loop til the end.
The mini theater and side character's love life most certainly stole my attention away and I couldn't be bothered about how the main couple's life played out.
Spoiler

There was a scene where someone had pointed out how fed up they were with the whole, you live, I live; you die, I die/Romeo-Juliet kind of braindead romance.
Ironically the main couple's relationship is exactly that.
They went from hanging out casually at home (at times not even in the same room) to making out, playing the suspension bridge effect card here and there and boom, ML loves her so much he can't let go and has to marry her, they'd risk their lives for each other.
The narrow options for ML def. Don't help MC's case:
She's the only female who's not part of his family and can deal with his physique. Otherwise, there was no way for him to get to know other women or interact with other women of suitable age. ML believed for the longest time he'd be a short-lived single dog and he wasn't about to sacrifice someone for his solitude.
Conveniently, a lively, outgoing, and evil-spirit-aura-immune girl of age appears right before the lonely, sickly martyr.
Entangling their previous lifetimes into this whole situation when they barely had any proper romantic progress other than making out and spending a lot of time under a roof, it's a little bit of a fast shot, to say the least.
Nice for the supernatural plot, yes, awful for the romantic side. Not to mention the darn plot twist of the main plot is based off of a late 90s blockbuster. Kinda lazy.

It's good! Sweet moments, sweet MC and doting ML. I didn't actually think this would be a modern supernatural novel. I just thought it would be your old cliche'd BG. Still, it was a good surprise. The comedy is good and the romance is sweet

However, past 90 chapters, the romance technically disappeared and the main CP only appeared in the side stories. I think one of the reviewer also mentioned this. It may be a bit boring especially if you are here for the romance. Thinking it over, the romance... more>> part also seemed to be quite short.

The comedy is pretty good tho.

General: 8/10

A nice story with good plot, fine translation and a good dose of humor. Has a slight twist in epilogue ;)

Translation: 9/10 although the chapter numbering got messed up when translators changed.

... more>> Plot:

+ humor

+ supernatural

+ happy ending (really)

+ loved additiobal chapters

+ good FL (slightly naive as she is young but overall logical and decisive). She is not OP or amazingly beautiful or rich

+ good ML (handsome, reasonable, not overly depressed taking into account his past, not the domineering CEO). Good guy. Really

+ grandpa and brother (amazing characters, loved the side stories)

+ awesome and realistic depiction of Underworld

Spoiler

+ reincarnation as panda as a choice for souls (get bonus recruitment points for saving endangered species :D)

Awesome novel!

Very OP main character who goes on a lot of adventures and solves lots of mysteries related to ghosts and the supernatural. The first half was probably the most enjoyable for me as the MC was so surprised and addicted to trying to fund her village road construction, it was hilarious and super cute.

Also the whole portrayal of the underworld and her grandpa was a lot of comedic relief. The best part is that MC doesn't fail to lose her awesomeness even later on in the story, such as... more>> when showing off to old metaphysical fogeys.

ML has a secret/OP/mysterious past in addition to being secret/OP/mysterious in the modern world. TBH, I think he could have been toned down a bit more. In the later stages he is basically a cheat code for anything that is "too strong" for MC to defeat.

The supporting cast of characters are pretty good and fun as well. In this world, you don't get too many crazy jealous women or backstabbing college roommates (MC's college roommates are surprisingly adorable and wholesome and I wish they had more screen time).

The ending wraps up very neatly and some of the side character tragedies get HEs as well, so kudos to the author for that.

Overall a pretty great translation and very enjoyable read. I do recommend. <<less

This novel is hilarious and I can't hammer the Like button fast enough. I actually agree that the name Xishi really doesn't suit this MC, not because of that weird beauty standard about skin colour, but because Xishi was famous for being a sickly beauty, and this girl is clearly a healthy, bouncing little gangster! Quick press on chapter 1 to read about her shameless adventures! 5 stars.
