When she first moves back home, one of the rude second generation girls try to belittle her as the she was raised in the countryside but the FL solves this girl in like two seconds by telling this girl very seriously there's a ghost on her shoulder. This scares the rude girl so much and later on the FL charges the girl an exorbitant fee to exorcise the ghost lol. Then later on the FL encounters a complicated situation with forbidden magic that she doesn't know how to deal with involving people she knows. Instead of tiring herself with thinking about what to do she straight up sends a complaint letter to the local god to let him deal with it. I thought this was so damn cool because usually the leads just make a bad decision and everyone blames them.

They were lovers in their past lives but there were extenuating circumstances that led them to be separated and cursed. Since then they've been trying to find each other in every subsequent reincarnation to solve the curse and be together but they've failed each time. I don't want to reveal more about this because I want you to read it and their past life stories was really interesting but just know that in this life they're able to solve the curse and live happily ever after.

His ghost catching skills are OP but he's sassy AF and addicted to playing online games. When the FL goes to live with her biological family he goes straight to the city and spends all his time at a PC room. He becomes so good at playing he even gets offers to join a pro league at like 60 years old lol. Despite that he cares about the FL a lot and he'll go and help the couple from they really need him.

In the pseudo-sequel that tells the story of Chen Yang, the FL's brother, and his future gf, our couple makes an appearance here and there and they're just as cute. That story isn't as good as this one imo but it's not a bad read because this author is so damn good at what she does.

Chinese people associate pale skin with beauty NOT because of colonialism and racism reasons, which is quite... Western-minded of people to say and ignorant, frankly, but because it's associated with rich people. Rich people don't need to farm. They stay home all day. They hold (HISTORICALLY) traditionally educated jobs. Thus. Pale skin. On the other hand, the less fortunate tend to work outdoors. Hard labour but for simplicities sake: they're usually farmers and spend time under the sun. Hence: tan. Dark skin. Which is transliterated as 'black skin' if you take the Chinese word literally.

AGAIN. Please separate your Western mindset from this. And any frequent reader of Chinese novels should know the Chinese cultural understanding with being rich. Chinese new year. Gong Xi Fa Cai = Hope you get rich soon. Gods of wealth. Red packets of money. Gold everywhere. SO DOESN'T THAT PROVIDE CONTEXT? Rich people, white and soft skin. The farmers, tan and rougher skin from literal labour. So this is some brief context on how these values and fixation with the rich and thus white skin have caused China to become the colourist society that has those beauty standards today. Yes, it's problematic in that Chinese people see 'dark skinned people' as ugly, and the author DOES introduce some problematic elements by displaying the dark skin as 'ugly' from other viewers but again, that's a very small part of the story that some reviewers (most likely with a western mindset) have chosen to hone in on and fixate as a reason for why this story is bad. And also, the female protagonist does not give a sh*t about her skin. The reason why she decides to use skin products and stuff is at the behest of her roommates, and she does not want to stick out by not participating in face mask activities and stuff after military training. Also, because she moves to the city and out of the countryside, her skin begins to lighten and lose it's tanned colour.

The Chinese public have started to embrace more accepting views of beauty (plus sized women representation etc) but if you think about how homogenous, traditional, patriarchal Chinese and East Asian society is compared to the Enlightenment Era foundation of Western countries... please understand that it'll take a while.

There is sequel about FL's brother love life :v

Still not translated.

The English name is My Girlfriend is a Cat (translated using Google Translate)

Chen Yang (FL's brother) is a policeman while the FL in the sequel is cursed (if I'm not wrong). Most times she became cat, but sometimes she transformated back in her human form. She couldn't control her transformation

decided to effing resurrect her elder brother

idiot 1 (MC) saved her brother she had a hella backlash and proceeds to effing cry a river about it... I'm not sure if the translation is wrong but she's currently in UNIVERSITY.... UNIVERSITY people!!! Sometimes I forget and think she's 9 or something.

Especially when her grandfather just traveled just to see her after he sensed something was wrong and even went to the effing underworld for her!! She first complained about her situation THEN her first request was for him to save the ML and proceeds to act like a spoilt kid when her grandfather who literally went to hell for her just wants to take a effing nap.

suck out some ghost or dark energy **** from the MC after she had the backlash... It's ok if he knew what he was doing but he doesn't... Come explain author why must you make our ML who was rational and who create weapons for the government be involved with some s*upid **** I understand he needs company etc. Etc. But these two aren't even dating yet and their IQs has dropped to the bottom of a dammed fish pot.

No now that's confusing me... In the book it clearly indicates that she didn't study the feng shui seriously then how tf did she manage to do a better job than those who took catching ghosts as a profession?! TM author!!!

from what's written up to chapter 75 the amounts of pages she interacts with her family is less than 25% of the book so far!! If she had a close relationship with her brother one way or another I'd understand her actions of desperately wanting to save him!! I might even be touched enough to cry! But MC for the majority of the novel so far has either been out dealing with ghosts and other feng shui masters or spending her time with the ML... I've read this far and still can't see MC having a close connection with her family... Maybe because most of the time she never spends time with them!!! The only family scenes seems to be at the beginning during the one bit where she went out with her brother who was trying to find friends for her and her mother taking her out to shop and get a beauty makeover done also at the damn dinner table and at the hospital when her brother was about to die... So that's why I can't understand the MC when she used the forbidden spell.

The story slowly reveal the relationship between Chen Yu and Luo Ming since long long time ago.

One thing that I feel bad about Chen Yu in this story, in her previous life, she created disaster by curse or something else, so many human suffered and died because of the curse for three years (if I'm not mistaken). Although she did it in her most desperate and miserable situation but it didn't justify her action. Because of her previous life cursed, many spritual masters has to sacrifice themselves to reseal the disaster every few decades, if some of them unlucky, they would die.

I'm speecless when I read the plot about her previous life's mistake.
