Tomb Raiding: That Smiling Big Sis Has Gone on a Killing Spree Again

[Tomb raiding + strong female lead + no CP in the main story + OOC warning + slow pace + beginner writer]

There's an unwritten rule in Changsha's antiques trade: don't mess with the smiling young woman.

She looks twenty-two and is always smiling, polite and courteous. A faint jingle from the silver bells on her bracelet is enough to wrap a living banshee up until it dies. Some say she's the mastermind behind the Old Nine Gates. Others say she's the Wang family's worst nightmare. Still others claim she's lived for over a hundred years.

Never bully someone she cares about in front of her. She'll smile and brew you a cup of aged tangerine-peel tea. The moment you let your guard down, she'll use the silver threads on her bracelet to tie you into a bundle, then crouch beside you and say, "So, who's pulling your strings? It's fine if you won't talk. My tea's still hot."

And don't try to outsmart her. Before you make your first move, she's already calculated ten steps ahead. She won't get angry or lose her temper. She'll just gently shake her bracelet. The bells will ring, and she'll sigh with a smile. "This trick again. Can't the Wang family's strategists come up with a new play?"

Above all, don't mention the word "home" in front of her. She'll fall silent for a moment, then smile and change the subject. If you have any sense, don't press her. If you don't...

She won't do anything to you. But next time you call her "Miss Qingci," she'll reply, "Call me Sister Qingci. I'm older than your great-grandmother."
