Taoist Master, Stop Being So Weird Around Her, She's Totally Crazy!

[Folklore, the supernatural, mystery, and a fiercely devoted couple]

The diviner Qu Guijiu, who usually disguises himself as a Daoist priest, has an unusual fate. Before he turns thirty, he is destined to face a deadly calamity: either repay the debt of his life or become an immortal. He once valued his life above all else, but a series of murders brought him into partnership with the Eighth Bureau's Civil Affairs Investigation Department, where he unexpectedly met the enigmatic Mu Yanhe.

She was once the youngest captain in the department. Three years ago, she vanished mysteriously while searching for her mentor, and her superiors declared her dead. Now she has returned, her methods uncanny and her actions impossible to predict. She once saved Qu Guijiu's life, only to personally push him into an even deeper web of mystery.

Strange cases are multiplying, and the Eighth Bureau's Civil Affairs Investigation Department is under immense pressure. Yet the killer has vanished in an inexplicable way. Wherever the people they investigate go, someone always gets there first. Only then does Qu Guijiu realize that everything Mu Yanhe has done is connected to becoming an immortal. Her true purpose is far more insane than he ever imagined…

“You want to become an immortal, and I'll shield you from calamity. You want to kill, and I'll wield the blade for you. But even after taking my life, you're still not satisfied. What else do you want?

“Sister Mu, who are you playing against? In this game of yours, have you left any way out for this discarded piece…?”

Fate can be changed, but karma is hard to sever. Perhaps you… are the calamity I was truly meant to face.

(Mystery and the supernatural, tangled destinies, a touch of deadpan humor, and a romance that mixes heartbreak with sweetness.)
