Candlelight: A Fantasy Crime Mystery

Blurb One: Ye Ningyu has lived for more than two thousand years, and now her love life is finally stirring. Two men have fallen for her. One was entangled with her in a past life. The other has pursued her across several lifetimes. One burns like fire, while the other is a refined gentleman… Blurb Two: There’s a coffin shop on Qinshi’s Incense Street. The shopkeeper is a woman whose age is anyone’s guess. She takes life as it comes. Every day, she does nothing but sunbathe and sleep, never caring whether business is good or bad. The cashier spends every shift slacking off and playing games, and likes everything in pairs. The only one who worries herself sick over the shop is the sole shop assistant. This time, she secretly sold a few urns, only to get caught up in a series of bizarre cases… The shopkeeper does a quick calculation. Oh, it seems it’s time to enter the world again. And perhaps find herself a husband while she’s at it? Though he does seem a little dim… Fu Zheng, the star of the Qinshi criminal investigation team, is frustrated too. After finally winning over his wife despite all the rivals eyeing her, he somehow manages to ruin everything himself?! They say chasing your wife means going through hell? Fine, then, let’s bury her. Wait, wait! Why are we really burying her? And burning her to ashes, too??? In short, this is a love story about a criminal investigation captain and a coffin-shop owner who hunt ghosts and battle demons to keep the world safe. Warnings: 1. The heroine is strong and the hero is somewhat weaker, but they’re definitely headed toward becoming a formidable team. 2. Happy ending. 3. The man pursues the woman. 4. More than a simple past-life-and-present-life story, with a twist.
