[Secret Identities + Wealthy Families + Supernatural Powers + The Real Heiress]
Also known as: Mr. Jing's Little Spirit Medium
The Four Great Families' annual supernatural powers tournament is about to begin. The Nan family has been in decline, and to protect their son and daughter from harm during the competition, they bring back an illegitimate daughter from the countryside and send her to compete.
They say the girl is both tacky and ugly. The family plans to give her some money and send her on her way after the tournament, assuming she's still alive.
But to everyone's surprise, the girl really does know the Nan family's secret arts, and she makes a sensation at the competition, even attracting the attention of Kyoto's powerful families. One of them immediately sends over a marriage contract, naming her as the future young madam of the Shi family!
Everyone is waiting for the tacky, ugly country girl to be thrown out, but all they get is a post from that gentleman's social media feed:
Baby, are you coming home to sleep tonight?
Everyone: ?
Content warnings:
1. The story has two interwoven plotlines, one about supernatural powers and one about everyday life. This isn't a traditional CEO romance, nor is it a pure supernatural survival story.
*
2. If you like domineering CEO romances, think twice before starting. The career plot takes up a lot of space, and the romance develops slowly.
*
3. That's all for now. I'll add more if I think of anything.
