* Previously titled "My Archenemy Is Putting on Another Hot Show". Don't get lost! It should be finished around December.
A human lie detector quietly watches him act tough. His whole lovesick, sharp-tongued act is exposed.
The shaman Lu Tingyi was placed under a silencing curse and spent ten years mute.
The sacred tree turned into a peach pit to suppress her curse. To keep speaking and stay alive, she had to hunt down the curse's source and break it within two months.
The tricky part was that she had to get close to someone to briefly regain her strength and hunt.
The even trickier part was that this person was her archenemy, Baili Zhengliu, whose very presence she found unlucky.
The trickiest part of all was that the way to regain her strength was to play Truth or Dare with him.
But sincerely insulting him didn't work, showering him with compliments didn't work, and looking for a chance to slap him didn't work either... She had to admit that what she truly felt was the exact opposite.
Fortunately, he was the same way.
What he didn't know was that she could use the mechanics of Truth or Dare to detect lies, and quietly watch him put on an act every day.

Baili Zhengliu thought he could keep his feelings hidden during his short life. He carved her name into a wind chime and carried it with him, using ten years of silence to keep his distance.
When they had no choice but to get close while hunting as a team, he put on an aloof, unfeeling act.
But the harsher his words became, the more composed she was.
He thought she simply didn't care about him anymore, until she asked with a bright smile, "Baili Zhengliu, do you know the only time I got the red candle was when you said, 'Lu Tingyi, what would I do if something happened to you?'"

2. This isn't purely a romance. It also has episodic adventure stories.
