Synopsis

While my mother was carrying me, I was sitting upright in her womb. The doctors all said the birth would be difficult, but my grandmother traded my life to a spirit messenger. My Xuanwu even went so far as to strip off his skin and bones for me! My relatives sought out one master after another to protect me, but sadly, they all said the good fortune I was born with was nowhere near enough to keep me alive. If I wanted to survive, I had no choice but to embark on the path of cultivation. From Shanhaiguan in the east to Kunlun in the west, and north to Qingyun Terrace, I went everywhere: I gathered souls and set up formations, held rituals and cast divinations, learned witchcraft and curses, and apprenticed myself to Xuanwu in the art of flying curses. I devoted myself to cultivation! I retrieved a transparent coffin from the Yellow River, witnessed ghost soldiers passing through the mortal realm, fought divine beasts in the snowy mountains, battled the Five Great Immortal Clans, and collected the spirits of the dead from the district... Everyone called me a beggar, a pauper, picking up merit behind Xuanwu. But I had long since come to see Xuanwu as family. He taught me every spell and skill. Yet even after solving every mysterious case, I could never resolve the fate that bound him and me... When I was twenty, Master was sealed after something happened to him. After overcoming every obstacle and breaking the seven seals, I finally understood the painstaking plans he had made “Xiao Xuan, I want the gods to kneel and welcome you home. Together, we’ll refine the Four Symbols, the Seven Mansions, and the Twenty-Eight Constellations. This time, we must open Heaven’s Gate and rewrite the Heavenly Way. Set the universe right, and reverse yin and yang!” The sun rises in the east, and the Azure Dragon comes to greet it. The moon has yet to set in the west, and the White Tiger takes its place; Xuanwu sinks; the Vermilion Bird rises!! The Sparrow Gate opens; golden light descends!

Looking for Women’s Fiction About Horror, the Supernatural, and Ghost Hunting. Nothing Too Boring, Please!

A highly rated silly comedy, but the female lead must not be a saintly do-gooder, and she shouldn’t be too cold either, or it gets incredibly boring. I just want the plot to move along.

Looking for Supernatural Stories With a Growing Heroine: The Scarier, the Better

Female-oriented paranormal stories! Either first- or third-person narration is fine. I prefer protagonists who grow over time, and I'm not a fan of protagonists who are ridiculously overpowered right from the start. I don't mind whether there's a System or not. As long as the writing is good and the protagonist has a normal level of intelligence, that's fine, though the smarter the better. Thank you so, so much!!!
