[A tenacious, clever, high-powered young woman × a gentle, jade-like, breathtakingly beautiful young nobleman]
Fu Yingyue has had two bodies since childhood. One was A He, the senior disciple of Tianheng Sect, who was offered as a sacrifice and died. The other is Fu Yingyue, young master of the immensely wealthy Zhaoye Tower, with mountains of gold and silver at her disposal and the freedom to do as she pleases.
To find her missing adoptive mother, she has no choice but to join Lu Zhiwei, the young master of the Lu family, on a journey to uncover the truth.
At first meeting, Fu Yingyue thinks the young master of the Lu family is such a poser, always wearing a smile that's gentle yet distant.
Later, thanks to her irresistible charm, and perhaps also to his having been rescued by her, someone seems to shed his gentle mask and turn into a peacock showing off its feathers. He's clingy, too.
Later still, to resolve a calamity threatening the region, Lu Zhiwei dresses as a bride and gives her a dazzling smile. Fu Yingyue admits she's smitten, and a long-buried childhood memory comes rushing back. So this has been her type all along!
This is bad! The senior brother who once caught her trying to escape and brought her back to the sect to be sacrificed has recognized her, too. He's even holding the book she tricked him into reading, The Aloof Sword Lord's Passionate Love, and says he'll use its methods to court her again. Where in the cultivation world can she find an asylum for the insane? Urgent!
Reader's guide:
1. Both the male lead and the second male lead have a bit of a ghostly vibe.
2. One-on-one romance, happy ending, both leads are devoted to each other. The male lead is Lu Zhiwei.
3. A He is Fu Yingyue. Both bodies belong to her; there's no body-snatching or substitute.
4. A lighthearted xianxia mystery with an ensemble cast. The early story features a countdown to a sacrifice.
5. This is not a cultivation-leveling story. The focus is on solving cases.
