Ai Si finds herself transmigrated into a tragic supporting character in a Western novel—Eloise. The setting is Gilded Age Manhattan, New York, at the tail end of the 19th century—a city drenched in opulence, its harbors bustling with life.

For now, Eloise is still a young girl, living with her younger brother in their aunt’s cramped household. Five people share a tiny room where the walls leak, the floors creak, and the windows whistle with icy drafts. After paying the weekly rent, there’s no money left for coal or flour; every meal is just boiled potatoes, and between them, they can’t muster three proper pairs of leather shoes.

Watching the howling snowstorm outside, Eloise feels a pang of despair—she doesn’t even own a decent scarf. Determined to turn things around, she decides to revive the skills of her previous life. First step? Patch together something warm enough to endure the bitter cold...

    Sending lost souls to Buddha with one palm.I wasn’t expecting much from this novel but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s a pity though that it’s apparently on hiatus and doesn’t have that many chapters yet.Spoilers.Let me explain the world background. Taking place in Japan, supposedly 90% of people are religious and the main religions are Shintoism and Buddhism. Religion isn’t as strict as irl, you can smoke and have fun but there are still some restrictions. This is mostly due to spiritual energy and evil spirits existing in the world. Now, evil spirits and Yokai aren’t secrets. The world knows about them though regular people treat it as mysterious and scary. The police will often outsource special cases involving spirits to temples and shrines. Regular people will also request for spirits to be taken care of if they are being haunted. This is a pretty good summary, not gonna explain everything.The main character is a transmigrator who appears in this world and becomes a monk. He is very hard working and smart though he seems to have actually become a monk mentally and rejects all advances from girls so he can do more training. And yes, he is handsome. But, he has trained too hard though and is pretty powerful. He only has his abbot as a frame of reference and since he too is very powerful apparently, the MC thinks he’s only pretty good. There are ranks among monks and shrine maiden btw but you can read it yourself.So anyways, he comes from a small temple so he needs money to expand the temple. That’s the main motivation or goal that he has. There is also of course getting stronger but that’s secondary.Now there is someone that I’m guessing is the female lead. She is a shrine maiden and isn’t too bad. They meet and she takes him along on missions to record videos and she pays him part of the remuneration. I don’t know how to describe her but she’s likable.He gets more famous and takes on bigger jobs, there also seems to be some connection between these cases...Translation is great, I don’t remember seeing any mistakes. Grammar is good too.Really liked the story. Pretty high quality stuff so far. Again, it’s a shame there isn’t much right now but it’s still good.

    <p>"Ye Qingtang, I remember very clearly the words you made me remember a while ago. I said 'if you could enter Xuanling Sect, won't I be a useless piece of trash?' Now, it is enough to prove that my words weren't wrong, isn't it?" Lu Xiuwen sneered. </p>
