I'm a Metaphysics Expert, and the Short-Lived Male Lead Has Pursued Me for Ten Lifetimes

[Mysticism + ghost hunting + feel-good power fantasy + male lead awakens his memories] Yu Li, the third master of the Yu family in Kyoto, had been bedridden with illness since childhood. One day, deep in the mountains, he came across a young woman. She looked soft and sweet, but seemed a little dim-witted.

When he asked her how old she was, she said she had lived for a thousand years.

When he asked her name, she said she was his ancestor.

When he asked what she could do, she said she could summon wind and rain, communicate with ghosts and gods, and kill without shedding a drop of blood.

It was only after someone introduced them that Yu Li learned this was the foolish young lady of the Li family, raised in the countryside.

Li Qing was the sole successor to the Grand National Preceptor of the You Kingdom and the junior commander of the Directorate of Astronomy, second only to one person, The Outcast, and above countless others. One careless moment led to her being murdered. When she opened her eyes again, she had arrived a thousand years in the future.

The world a thousand years later was strange and bizarre, and she could barely make sense of it.

To sum it up, you had to pay for everything.

Li Qing was so broke her pockets were cleaner than her face, while her so-called parents refused to give her a single coin and were miserly to the extreme.

After thinking it over, she could only return to her old line of work. She knew a little about stargazing and divination, alchemy and talismans, fortune-telling and ghost hunting, and summoning wind and rain.

No one knew that ever since he was a child, Yu Li had often dreamed of a young woman. In his dreams, she wore elaborate red-and-black robes and sat atop an altar. Yet he could never see her clearly, not until the day he met her.
