After Being Lured Into a Trap by the Aloof Daoist

It was very rude to stare at another beautiful woman during a close relative's funeral, but Jiang Zaiyi thought she looked familiar.

It slowly came back to her. This Taoist priestess, dressed in robes and wielding a bronze sword during a ritual, was famous both online and offline. Her name was Lin Jin.

Later, after some strange events, Jiang Zaiyi's mother took her up a mountain and told her to practice in seclusion under Lin Jin.

Paying a fortune to join was one thing, but she even had to call someone two years younger than herself "Master."

Jiang Zaiyi's blind date said, "She's a fraud. Don't fall for it."

She had assumed that practicing in seclusion meant eating vegetarian food, abstaining from desire, and observing a long list of rules. She had also assumed that a Taoist like Lin Jin, who had inherited her family's tradition, would surely be free of worldly desires.

In reality, Lin Jin coaxed Jiang Zaiyi into pretending to be her romantic rival's love interest, brought her newly brewed wine on nights when they practiced alone, then kissed her until she was dizzy from the alcohol and asked, "Do you want me to clip your nails?"

Jiang Zaiyi couldn't figure out how she'd ended up playing Lin Jin's on-screen couple, working herself until her back ached and her legs went weak.

It wasn't until she found a jar of paper cranes folded from candy wrappers in a room no one was allowed near that she understood...

In tears, Jiang Zaiyi messaged her mother: [Mom, she really did trick me]

Claims about being born under an ill-starred sign and taking a master to practice cultivation were all part of Lin Jin's plan.
