 Xie Jun-ya is a high-school girl and a baseball lover. Yet she is also a psychic, and this ability has been causing her much distress. She hopes to alleviate the condition by meditating in the temple, but she is only met with many worshippers. From Feng Shui of ancestor’s tomb to the next lottery winning numbers, people seek all sorts of advice from her. Too occupied as a psychic, Jun-ya has barely any time for baseball. Frankly she does not care how much money she receives by answering the adults’ questions. All she thinks about is if the boy on the baseball team likes her.

On the boy’s birthday, Jun-ya wants to go to the birthday party and tell him her feelings. But people are lining up in the temple, waiting for her to point them in the right direction. How does Jun-ya choose between her responsibility for a long-standing tradition and her life as an adolescent?
