[Historical Romance + Ghosts and Demons + Metaphysical Mystery Solving]
A heroine who loves putting on little performances wherever she goes, appearing to be a noblewoman while secretly obsessed with studying demons X A rugged male lead who's rough on the outside and full of thoughts on the inside
Cheng Shujun had just caught a fox spirit that shaved men's heads. The next thing she knew, she was the female suspect in a case involving hearts being cut out and souls being sucked away. The killer was still at large when a black cat showed up and called her a supporting female character.
The black cat told Cheng Shujun she was a supporting character in the novel Run, Yan Huai, Love, Ai Ai, Laugh, Zong Chu.
Because she loved Yan Huai and Zong Chu but couldn't have them, she would turn evil and become a demoness, killing off so much of the novel that only a third of its title remained. In the end, the heroine, Xue Aiai, would cut off all her limbs and dump her in a brothel, where she would die miserably on a snowy night.
To keep her from ending up that way, the black cat had come to save her. It promised that as long as she devoted herself to good and didn't turn evil, she could have a happy, fulfilling life.
Cheng Shujun murmured, "Mm-hmm," as she slowly wiped the blood from her hands. Her flirtatious peach-blossom eyes fixed on the back of the male lead Yan Huai's neck:
There, she could kill him with one strike.
As the black cat sang by her ear, "If you'll just be a little kinder, this place will become a beautiful world," Cheng Shujun's gaze settled on the area between Zong Chu's lower chest and upper waist:
There, she could leave him paralyzed and incontinent.
In this dynasty overrun with demons, everyone had secrets and another identity they needed to conceal.
