Tricking Ghosts, Catching Fiends: A Ninth-Rank Magistrate

Chu Ling opens her eyes to find herself reborn as the novel’s number-one expendable supporting female character—one who stirs up trouble, courts death at every turn, and is ultimately killed when the female lead shoots her straight through the heart with an arrow. Knowing exactly how the plot unfolds, Chu Ling spits in disdain and decisively breaks free from the storyline, choosing instead to focus on building her own career.

But being a county magistrate is no easy task. Today, a ghostly maid comes to air her grievances; tomorrow, a ghostly tutor knocks to give her a warning. Every so often, when she steps outside, she even runs into vengeful spirits seeking justice. Born with the ability to see ghosts, Chu Ling has no choice but to take each case seriously and solve them one by one.

Only—while solving case after case—how did she end up getting dragged back into the plot again?
