Karma Aftercare Agency

[Money-loving streetwise commoner girl x aloof, unattainable man]

Lin Chuci runs a Cause and Effect Aftercare Agency.

When ancestors commit misdeeds, their descendants suffer. All sorts of problems faced by her modern-day clients are messes their ancestors left behind: a client goes mad because an ancestor robbed a tomb; a client falls ill because an ancestor seized someone's property by force; a client dies young because an ancestor massacred a city...

She transmigrates to the ancient past again and again, rewriting her clients' ancestors' lives and giving her modern-day clients a fresh start.

So she only cares about two things:

Money and other people's ancestors.

She doesn't know that her memories are also returning as she transmigrates again and again.

Her one problem is that every time she transmigrates, she runs into the same man: Song Chi of the Great Ning dynasty.

And all her clients' ancestors happen to be from the Great Ning dynasty.

This Song Chi is a different age in every year, yet he always gets on her nerves!

Once, she planned to bury her client's ancestor's ill-gotten wealth in the ground, intending to dig it up after returning to the present. But twenty-five-year-old Song Chi caught her red-handed. "Miss Lin, we meet again."

"...What a coincidence." Lin Chuci smiled sweetly on the surface, while grinding her teeth behind his back.

That jinx again!

Song Chi raised an eyebrow and pointed behind her. "What treasure are you hiding back there?"

Reluctantly, she brought out the chest of gold and silver treasures. "I was just about to turn it over to the authorities. It's just that Young Master Song always shows up at such a convenient time... Anyone who didn't know better might think you were following me."

Song Chi stood with his arms crossed, wearing a half-smile. "Bring it all out. The things hidden in your sleeves, the ones in your hair, and, oh yes, the secret compartment in your shoes."

At last, Lin Chuci's smile slipped.

She took her time pulling a pair of gold pendants from her sleeves, then five silver hairpins from her bun, and finally even handed over the jade beads hidden in her shoes.

Song Chi, just you wait!

On her final transmigration, the day her client's ancestor planned to massacre a city, thirty-year-old Song Chi stood facing her, sword in hand. "Lin Chuci, you've changed so many people's lives, yet you don't know that it all began with you."

Arrows streaked through the sky like flowing light, falling in a flurry.

So all their encounters had never been chance.

They were the cause and effect Song Chi had clung to for his whole life, waiting from boyhood into middle age, never willing to let go.

[Content warnings]

1. One-on-one romance, both leads have only ever been with each other, happy ending.

2. Modern clients' problems come from fear and guilt left in their genes by their ancestors' misdeeds. These cause genetic mutations that lead to hallucinations or physical illnesses. There are no supernatural spirits, immortals, monsters, or other fantastical beings.

3. Fictional dynasty, so readers who value historical accuracy should take note. The overall tone is lighthearted, not serious historical drama.

4. The heroine loves money and comically tries to keep ill-gotten wealth for herself. She is no saint.

5. The male lead is the same person, just at different ages.

6. The heroine transmigrates in her own body, to different years in the same dynasty.
