The Corpse Venerable Is Busy Looking for Her Corpse Master

Bratty, doted-on female Corpse Venerable VS tsundere, sharp-tongued young Taoist priest

Also known as The Corpse Venerable and the Taoist Lord's Joyful Corpse-Driving Log

[Romance Blurb]

Before the next Corpse Venerable of the Hua Clan in western Hunan took over, the clan received an urgent job. The client had hired the two most skilled corpse-driving sects in the world to complete the mission.

The Hua Clan of western Hunan sent Hua Ji, while Maoshan sent Xu Tuzhi, a disciple of the Tianyi Daoist sect.

What should have been an ordinary corpse-driving job became a contest between two great sects for supremacy in the corpse-driving world, thanks to all the attention it drew.

At their first meeting, neither of the two corpse drivers would yield to the other. They bickered every few days and occasionally even came to blows in front of their fellow corpses.

At the mass grave, Xu Tuzhi laid out a table of ritual implements to locate the corpse's owner. Hua Ji pretended to trip and sent the whole table crashing to the ground.

Looking at the treasured implements scattered everywhere, Xu Tuzhi could no longer contain his fury. “Hua Ji! Have you no professionalism as a corpse driver? I've put up with you for ages, and you...”

Before he could finish, their eyes met, and Hua Ji silenced him with her bewitching Gu technique. His limbs also became impossible to move.

Watching Xu Tuzhi struggle, Hua Ji laughed without restraint. “I told you it was an accident. This is your punishment for yelling at me!”

Then she leaned close to his ear and murmured, “Little Daoist, if you want to break the spell, you'll have to kiss me.”

Xu Tuzhi's eyes widened in shock, but remembering his master's instructions, he could only “dedicate himself to the Dao.”

Just as their warm lips were about to touch, Hua Ji swayed away and strode off toward the mass grave.

“Keep your mouth shut. I can't stand listening to you chant! Wait here nicely for me, little Daoist. The title of the corpse-driving world's best belongs to our Hua Clan of western Hunan!”

From then on, Xu Tuzhi faced a problem more difficult than cultivation: the bratty Corpse Venerable of western Hunan had latched onto the little Daoist of the Tianyi sect...

[Plot Blurb]

After returning from the Miao mountains, Hua Ji had an astonishing record of driving more than fifty thousand corpses. She became the undisputed candidate for the next Corpse Venerable of western Hunan.

Those who coveted the title refused to accept this, so the Hua Clan held a corpse-driving contest to decide who would become the next Corpse Venerable.

While everyone else struggled across mountains and rivers to find the owners of the corpses, Hua Ji somehow found every single one of them.

Hua Ji herself was baffled. She had still been studying a map when one corpse suddenly sprang back to life and hopped all the way over to her. She had merely picked a random cliffside cave to rest in, only to discover that she had spent an “unforgettable” night with another corpse's owner. And just when she was about to give up looking for the last one, she ran into him around a corner.

It was like searching everywhere and finding nothing, then getting it without lifting a finger. She was the luckiest girl alive, as if blessed by the gods.

Looking at her disheveled competitors, Hua Ji smiled. “I don't know why I'm so lucky either. But isn't luck part of one's strength? Hurry up and pay your respects to the first female Corpse Venerable of the Hua Clan of western Hunan!”

P.S. This is absolutely not scary. It's lighthearted and cheerful from start to finish, a joyful corpse-driving log.

The corpse-driving teams of western Hunan and Maoshan are at your service.

The heroine's career luck is through the roof, as if she's got divine help, but that doesn't stop her from finding success in both work and love.

She's doted on by everyone, beloved wherever she goes, a little joy-bringing fairy who gets luckier the more she slacks off.

The hero is repeatedly flirted with by the heroine, who doesn't even realize she's doing it. Later, he falls for her all on his own. The Daoist is the one who takes the initiative and clings to the Corpse Venerable.

Their romance is a playful rivals-to-lovers dynamic, with two equally matched leads and plenty of sweetness.
