The Fake Heiress’s Guide to Self-Rescue

Synopsis:

Jiang Qing never expected that she, a generational genius of mystic arts, would meet her end by stepping on a beast trap on her way down the mountain.

When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated into the newly adopted fake heiress of the Jiang family.

Is this the famous ‘What to do when you transmigrate into a fake heiress’ from online forums?

Bad news: She found out she’s a fake heiress. Worse news: The true heiress grew up in the family and is deeply loved by her parents, and she’s got a lot of complaints about Jiang Qing‘s arrival. Wait, why are there ghosts, too?

Jiang Qing was speechless: Who gets transmigrated like this?!

Though the true heiress, Jiang Qianqian, was very sad, she still used her good upbringing to extend her hand and greet Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing thought: What a soft hand. Just as expected from a young lady, her skin is so well-maintained.

But before she could finish her thought, she turned her head and was startled by a gray, lifeless face—there was a ghost! The lifeless face nonchalantly swung its tongue and greeted her, slowly following behind Jiang Qianqian, who seemed completely unaware.

Seeing the ghost’s smug expression, Jiang Qing rubbed her hands together and asked: “Do you perhaps believe that there are ghosts in this world?”

“…Hey, officer, there’s a mentally ill person here. Yes, I suspect she escaped.”

It wasn’t until Jiang Qianqian, who initially thought Jiang Qing was crazy, was forced to have her stubbornness cured with two talismans, and then found herself in a spell formation, playing a romantic game of “she escapes, she chases” with the female ghost.

“Hurry and save me!” Jiang Qianqian ran at top speed in the formation, with a bloody-mouthed female ghost grinning behind her.

“Don’t worry, I’m coming now.”

Jiang Qing quickly dealt with it, using two drops of her fingertip bl00d to freeze the female ghost in place, successfully sending her to meet the King of Hell.

“This is just a small-time ghost, no sweat.”

“Then you must be a powerful sprinkler.”

Jiang Qing took this as a compliment and fantasized about living a wonderful life from now on, surviving on interest and occasionally taking on side jobs like dealing with a child’s tantrum or an adult’s lost soul.

But from that day on, strange things kept happening around her: a classmate’s comatose mother, a haunted villa, a mirror smeared with an unknown liquid, and her cousin’s soul leaving his body…

Wait, cousin, why are you unconscious?

It turned out her cousin was a cult leader trying to resurrect a saintess who had been sleeping for hundreds of years to destroy the world.

What else could she do? She had to stop this!

Jiang Qing sighed helplessly and pulled her new companion, Jiang Qianqian, with her, kicking out malevolent ghosts and expelling a drought demon, vowing to collect the three great artifacts to send this saintess back to where she came from.

But to her surprise, halfway through the search, she discovered that the spiritual nourishment needed to resurrect the saintess… was herself.

(The background music should be: “A master like you must have very powerful techniques!”)

Short Scene

“Hey, how did you transmigrate here?” Jiang Qianqian sat on a long bench, asking the person next to her.

The person slowly looked up, their eyes as weary as if they had seen through life itself: “I didn’t get a vaccine.”

Jiang Qianqian was stunned: “A vaccine?”

A deep sigh: “A tetanus shot.”
