[Instances + infinite-flow + rules-based horror + strong female lead + mindless fun + devoted couple + real and fake heiresses (not really)]
Gorgeous metaphysics expert x devoted CEO
Mild horror, and the leads are quick to get on the same wavelength
Content warning: The female lead is strong and the male lead is weak, but it's not an all-female-characters-are-lesbians story. The female lead is a bit of a psycho (though not entirely).
Qing Yangshu had successfully ascended. On the day she rose to heaven, dark clouds blotted out the sky, thunder and lightning raged, and an ominous presence engulfed the entire celestial realm.
The Heavenly Dao said she had committed too many killings and accumulated too much hostility, so it cast her back down to the mortal realm to cool off before she could return.
When Qing Yangshu opened her eyes again, she was seething with anger. As luck would have it, someone nearby was insulting her and even trying to hit her. Forget it. Kill them first.
A ghostly instance? Kill them first.
Won't reveal the boss's location? Kill them first.
Won't share the clues to clearing the instance? Kill them first.
Trying to hurt me? Kill them first.

At first, Mi Qi thought Qing Yangshu was a delicate young woman, since every time he saw her, she seemed to be “in need of help.”
Then he saw her snap a player's neck in one second.
Mi Qi: “Didn't you say you were beautiful, kindhearted, delicate, and frail?”
Qing Yangshu: “I send them on their way without pain. Isn't that kind? I absolutely refuse to stand when I can lie down. Isn't that delicate and frail?”
Mi Qi: “...”
She's got a real gift for lying through her teeth.
