Think Twice Before Retreating

A reborn noblewoman who treasures her life but keeps getting caught up in trouble VS a bizarrely unpredictable, eccentric wanderer skilled in the occult arts

(Two timid souls)

Li Xu, a frail and sickly noblewoman from a prominent family, died young. She wished for a healthy body in her next life, free from illness and pain. Her wish came true, but she transmigrated into the body of a strong-boned fugitive slave on the run for his life. From then on, she set out on a streetwise path of survival.

On her first day after transmigrating, Li Xu discovered that her golden finger was only half-baked. It would only coldly pop up with the words, "You're about to die," when she had one foot in the grave.

In this perilous martial world that devours people alive, a powerless streetwise survival expert can only rely on her wits and her golden finger's warnings, scraping by at the very last moment.

Along the way, she makes a few companions who share her dedication to staying alive. Each has their own way of surviving. Just as she's about to warn them of danger, she turns around and sees that her friends have already bolted a mile away.

Whenever they run into trouble:

Li Xu: "I've thought it over. I think I'll make a run for it."

Pan Jue: "I've thought it over. I think I'll make a run for it."

Chen Yixing: "I've thought it over. I think I'll make a run for it."

Ji He: "Then... then I guess I'll run, too."

Reader's Guide:

Wuxia with elements of Chinese folk-horror, political intrigue, and a focus on mystery-solving.

The heroine transmigrates into an ancient setting from another ancient setting.

A touch of ensemble cast, a touch of comedy. (It's not very serious, and some parts are rather absurd or not entirely rigorous, so please bear with me.)
