The workplace of the cultivation world, a supernatural tale from the world of science.
【An establishment-employed registrar × an out-of-system coroner】
【A heroine who seems aloof but is actually lively × a hero who seems easygoing but is actually obsessive】
【Solving cases, falling in love, and having their covers blown along the way, before a happy ending】
Zheng Zhao was bound to a Romance System.
It required her to win Cui Xiangzhi’s affection to seventy percent, after which she could return to her original world.
For the sake of the data sample, Zheng Zhao reluctantly agreed.
The mission itself wasn’t that difficult,
but her target was another matter entirely.
Just after transmigrating, Zheng Zhao copied out a stack of case files taller than herself,
accidentally releasing a mysterious-level great demon
and earning the resentment of everyone at the Bureau of Heavenly Inquiry.
And with one case after another,
ranging from desolate-level to mysterious-level, she had neither the time nor the inclination to pursue anyone.
Unexpectedly, her target took the initiative and approached her.
Zheng Zhao: “What’s this supposed to mean? Are you trying to win me over?”
What a coincidence…
I’m trying to win you over, too.
As the System’s affection notification sounded for them both,
Cui Xiangzhi’s eyes lit up,
while Zheng Zhao’s palms grew sweaty and she couldn’t bring herself to look at him.
【Romance mission complete.】
Cui Xiangzhi stared in disbelief at the transfer order she handed him.
Zheng Zhao felt not a trace of guilt.
“I appreciate your feelings, but I’m leaving.”
Leaving her target behind, abandoned where he stood.
On the day Zheng Zhao was about to leave her post,
a voice rang out in her mind, announcing that her mission had failed.
Zheng Zhao spun around and looked at Cui Xiangzhi.
“What did you do?!”
“I only… treated you the way you treated me.”
“My lady… do you really think you can still leave?”
Reader advisory:
1. The story is split forty-sixty between plot and romance.
2. Both leads have only ever been with each other.
3. The message is not to casually trample on someone’s sincere feelings.
4. Their identities are revealed later, and that part gets angsty. There will be no physical suffering, meaning no events involving injuries to their bodies.
5. A story about someone in power lowering their head. The heroine is the one in power.
Theme: Sincere feelings are rare and precious.
