Tomb Raiding: Master Xie, Need a Burial Shroud?

[CP: Xiao Hua + female lead + bickering couple + OOC warning] Qi Ruoxuan, a former corpse-driving Taoist priestess who was badly burned by the Underworld's KPI system, is reborn as the eldest daughter of the Qi family of the Nine Gates, with max-level occult skills. Before she can even enjoy her new life, her con-artist grandfather, Qi Tie Zui, hands her a big surprise: her fated husband, Xie Yuchen!

Qi Ruoxuan: “Break off the engagement! We have to!” To prove she would “rather die than marry,” she sets up a sign across from Wushan Residence: “Xuanji Funeral Clothes, a century-old shop. Tailored to fit, guaranteed to please, especially suitable for grooms!”

Xie Yuchen watches his sweet-smiling, highly skilled fiancée promote funeral clothes across the street, and his mouth twitches. How can this girl's train of thought be more winding than a tomb's passageway?

At their first meeting, she sees him as a potential customer, while he takes her for a con artist. Their days are full of verbal sparring and chaos.

But when a corpse undergoes a bizarre transformation right before their eyes, and an ancient curse ensnares their old friends, she flicks her fingers and a yellow talisman brings the world to order; his gaze turns cold, and his blade cuts through the illusion.

He witnesses the true skill beneath her jokes and fiery temper. She sees the sense of responsibility hidden beneath his polished exterior.

After all that bickering, something seems... a little off?

Xie Yuchen: “Wife, shouldn't you put away the wedding dress you tailored for me?”

Qi Ruoxuan: “...Shut up! Help me deal with this jumping zongzi first!”

How do you get a Taoist priestess and funeral-clothes shop owner to willingly wear a bridal gown for you? Xie Yuchen: Thanks for asking. I'm in a tomb, and I just triggered a mechanism. Mostly, it comes down to being hard to kill and... falling in love over time.
