A Little Spirit Mushroom has been reborn as a human-weak, pitiful, and recently orphaned with no home to call her own.
To get a bite to eat, a place to stay, and to settle her karmic debts, the Little Spirit Mushroom diligently (not really) became the personal maid of a powerful patron.
When her master worked, she slept. When her master had pastries, she stole them. When her master drank tea, she tasted it first. When her master was targeted by assassins, she was the first to run.
The Little Spirit Mushroom successfully annoyed her master and was punished with reflection against a wall.
But later, her master couldn’t bear to punish her anymore.
Finally, through her efforts, her patron helped her complete her revenge.
Her mission accomplished, the Little Mushroom prepared to retire, secretly asking her master to grant her a small territory where she could live out her days in peace.
However, once the Little Mushroom grew up, her master dragged her off to become the Empress.
The Little Mushroom sighed; being an Empress was even harder than being a mushroom.
