He Xiangu's full name was He Meixian, and she was a stepmother who took her stepmother's profession. Her father died early, and she was raised by her mother, who worked as a sorceress and performed supernatural rituals.

Having watched her mother perform shamanistic rituals since childhood, she knew many of the intricacies involved, and her mother intentionally taught her as well. After all, it could be considered a livelihood, so after her mother passed away, she took over her mother's business, becoming a shaman who performed exorcisms and shamanistic rituals for people.

However, in those days, everyone's circumstances were difficult, and they couldn't get anything good out of it. Most of the "spiritual mediums" were just using this to improve their lives. He Xiangu was no exception. So, besides performing her shamanistic rituals, she also did "part-time" farming.

However, being a shaman is still much easier than farming, so He Xiangu always hoped that her fame would grow and more people would come to hire her. Ideally, she could support her family simply by pretending to be a shaman and performing rituals, without having to farm anymore—that would be a blessing indeed.

He Xiangu tried many methods to deal with this.

Claiming to be the reincarnation of He Xiangu from heaven is one such method.

Unfortunately, it's not very useful.

The profession of a fairy is still competitive. Of course, people are more willing to believe in older fairy priestesses, thinking that they have more profound magical powers. Few people choose fairy priestesses like He Xiangu, who has just inherited her mother's mantle.

He Xiangu wanted to change this situation, but she didn't have any significant results.

Today... she was practicing (sleeping) at her home when suddenly a voice rang in her ear, startling her so much that she thought she was seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

However, after she understood what the voice was saying, she had a thought in mind.

Whether the being speaking to her was a real ghost or just someone faking it, she felt that if it were true, it would be a real opportunity—a chance to establish her reputation as a 'fairy nun'.

If this is false...

If it's fake, so be it. At worst, my reputation will suffer a bit more, and people will think their 'magic power' isn't enough and won't come to ask me for help anymore.

Anyway, not a single person invites her all year round.

Therefore, He Xiangu decided to take a gamble.

Of course, she was quite shrewd. Otherwise, she wouldn't have thought of claiming to be the reincarnation of He Xiangu from heaven.

In any case, what you offer yourself is never as precious as what someone else invites you to their door. Therefore, He Xiangu did not choose to go to their door herself, but instead came up with a roundabout way.

First, in the village, in front of those lazy idlers who refused to work in the fields, he deliberately acted mysteriously, gazing at the sky with his fingers, making calculations, and then shaking his head and sighing. In front of them, he said some ambiguous things, which aroused the busy idlers to ask questions. Then, he pretended to be reserved and remained silent, which aroused their curiosity even more. Finally, in a compassionate tone, he told them what he had just calculated, and at the end, he deliberately sighed with pity and said, "It's too much, it shouldn't be like this."

The idlers didn't believe her, so she went on to provoke them, and they actually went to see if the story was true.

When He Xiangu heard the respectful question from outside the door, "Is the fairy maiden at home?", she knew she had made the right bet.
