Zhaoning Ruyi

[Light Household Intrigue x Ensemble Cast x Mysticism x Suspense x Case Solving]

“Cold-faced King of Hell, Minister of the Court of Judicial Review vs. seemingly sweet but secretly ruthless young lady of the mystic sect”

Abandoned at a Taoist temple for fifteen years without a word, she is suddenly summoned home by her stepmother. The plan is to make her take her stepsister’s place in a ghost marriage.

Others go home to reunite with family. She goes home to risk her life.

Shen Zhao smiles as she climbs into the carriage.

At the relay station, she has a female ghost scare a spy so badly he wets himself.

When she returns to the manor, one remark, “I don’t know the side entrance,” forces the carriage to go through the main gate.

The entire household expects her to accept her fate, but she is investigating the heir’s true cause of death.

Shangguan Ning, Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, is investigating too.

That night, she is summoning spirits at the marquis’s manor when he steps out of the shadows.

“Miss Shen, enjoying yourself?”

She smiles, her eyes curving.

Everyone thinks this country girl raised in a Taoist temple will be an abandoned pawn they can manipulate at will.

But no one knows she was born with yin-yang eyes, can drive out ghosts and command spirits, and can see through people’s hearts.

And no one knows that the sweeter her smile, the more ruthless her hand.

Who says fate is decided by Heaven? She will have her wishes come true, bright and clear.
