This Young Lady Has an Unfinished Wish

Xie Lin, a court collator in the Palace Library, was born into privilege and had a cool, detached temperament. To escape his family’s pressure to marry and the endless social obligations, he would rather move into a haunted house on Ping’an Lane.

All his colleagues were betting on how many days Young Master Xie could last in a haunted house. He couldn’t stand even a slight crease in his robes without having them pressed again.

The house’s earthbound ghost, A Zhu, said, “I’ll make him leave tonight.”

To defend her territory, A Zhu tried everything she could.

Eerie noises, ghostly figures everywhere: Xie Lin ignored what he heard and saw. Even when she angrily blew out every candle, he only calmly ordered his page, “Replace them with glass lamp shades. It’s windy at night.”

On the night of the full moon, A Zhu finally lost patience and hung upside down above his desk, her hair falling loose.

“If you don’t get out, I’ll drain all your yang energy tonight!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the tip of a purple-hair brush prodded her forehead and pushed her back a few inches.

Xie Lin’s gaze was clear as he looked across the desk at her. “Men and women should keep their distance. You’re blocking my light, miss.”

A Zhu: “?”

“If you insist on draining my yang energy, let me finish this half-volume first. After that… I’ll gladly cooperate with all my might.”

“??”

A sweet romance with a happy ending in the mortal world. The heroine will come back to life.

Upcoming book blurb: What the S-Rank Ice-Cold Superpowered Boss of the Special Investigation Team Is Really Like in Private… The No-Dating-at-Work Rule

Wen Li transferred from Special Investigation Team One to Team Two.

Her transfer request gave personal reasons, but the real reason was that she’d fallen in love with her boss.

Her boss was incredibly powerful, handsome, and taciturn, a work machine without a shred of emotion. He had turned the tide in critical situations, allowing Team One to maintain its record of zero casualties.

Wen Li had a thing for his type, but her boss had strictly forbidden dating within Team One.

She decided to end her doomed crush and let a newcomer heal her broken heart.

On the Federation’s matchmaking System, Wen Li listed all the nurturing, motherly traits that were the opposite of her boss:

Likes cooking, preferably with a chef’s certificate √

Can knit sweaters √

Has two pets √

Can tell dad jokes √

…

Ding! The System found a match and sent her an invitation to meet.

At the café, Wen Li found her former boss waiting, wearing casual clothes so immaculate they outdid his uniform.

Wen Li: Fill out your matchmaking preferences again, right in front of me.

Her former boss opened his portable smart device and displayed a three-course meal and soup. “I made this last night.”

He paused, then displayed three more dishes. “These are for tonight. Come try them if you don’t believe me.”

Theme: Good and evil, debts of gratitude and vengeance, all find their reckoning
