Title: Soul Ferry: The Flirty Taoist's Fierce Little Wife
Synopsis: An icy-bloodline heiress and a devilishly handsome, roguish Taoist are forced to travel together. In ancient tombs where death lurks at every turn, they unravel the karma of their past lives and join forces against a traitorous archenemy bent on overturning the cycle of reincarnation. In the end, one finds his true love, while the other attains the Great Dao.
Main Story:
Su Qinghan, the eldest daughter of a prominent family, carries the bloodline of the Witch God but knows nothing about it. A family marriage contract and a mysterious ancestral jade pendant draw her into a vortex of power struggles and tomb exploration. To solve the pendant's mystery and find her missing family members, she sets out on a perilous journey.
Along the way, she encounters Lin Jingxuan, a devilishly handsome Taoist who seems carefree but bears a grave responsibility to his sect. For generations, Lin Jingxuan's sect has guarded a world-shattering secret. Su Qinghan's bloodline is the key to unlocking it, and to quelling the forces that threaten to throw the world into chaos. From disliking each other at first to discovering one another's strengths through repeated tomb expeditions and life-or-death adventures, the two gradually grow closer.
As one sealed ancient tomb after another is opened, the Witch God power slumbering within Su Qinghan awakens, granting her all kinds of mysterious abilities. Lin Jingxuan, too, tames an ancient divine beast, and his mastery of Taoist arts grows ever greater. They must face not only the tombs' endless mechanisms, monstrous beasts, and eerie evil spirits, but also the traitor within Lin Jingxuan's sect: a power-mad man who covets the Witch God's bloodline and seeks to use ancient forbidden arts to overturn the cycle of reincarnation and achieve immortality. He turns out to be the archenemy who has entangled the two of them across countless lifetimes. At last, as the heavenly tribulation descends...
The plot has ups and downs and the characters are delicately portrayed. I look forward to more works from the author.
