The Daoist Woman

[Blurb One] In everyone's eyes, Qi Xiaoxiao is a shy, introverted, quiet middle school student. Just like her name, she's tiny, and despite spending a year in class with her fellow students, she has remained a complete loner, leaving no impression at all. Until one day, the class heartthrob and school heartthrob, the totally awesome Su, who is everyone's role model for reaching the pinnacle of life, starts acting like he's possessed... [Blurb Two] Qi Xiaoxiao is a poor little thing. She grew up in an orphanage until the age of eight, then was adopted by a kind, gentle couple. She also has a non-blood-related older brother, Qi Yuchen, the son of the couple who adopted her. He's two years older than she is. Her adoptive parents were well-off and treated her just like their own daughter, but they died in a car accident when she was fifteen. Her brother, who had never been very mature, grew up overnight. They weren't very close, but he dutifully took on the role of her guardian. ...That didn't help much, though. A rebellious teenager who spent all day messing around, wasting his youth, and unable to do a thing, now had to support a sister who was expensive to raise, support himself, and fend off relatives using every trick in the book to seize the family inheritance... It was quite a challenge. So Qi Xiaoxiao went back to her old line of work from the days when she had been a Daoist priestess... The heroine's daily routine: Study hard and strive to improve by day, catch ghosts, exorcise demons, and solve the world's eerie mysteries by night. P.S. At first, I wanted to write a sweet romance, but as I went along, I realized I still wasn't very good at writing romance. I've decided to focus on the supernatural and ghost-hunting instead. As for the male lead, we'll see what fate has in store~ This novel has a 70% anti-piracy threshold. ---------------------------------------The author's completed novels: Hello, I'm a Living Dead In her previous life, she was human. She was also human in the first half of this life, but not in the second. Her previous life was ordinary and uneventful. The first half of this life was ordinary and uneventful too. The second half, well, she wasn't human, so you can imagine... The story, in brief: At eighteen, she happily married. One cup of poisoned wine, and she was thrown into the river... It's that clichéd. She had eighteen peaceful, happy years, and then, at the very end, her childhood sweetheart and future husband poisoned her to death... killed her... dead... gone... But the story didn't end there. It was only beginning! Because she became a... living dead, wandering across the vast earth. (Isekai Fantasy) I Am a System She was a System. She transmigrated... not into someone else's body, bound to serve them, but into a person herself. A concubine-born daughter, a good-for-nothing? Running System analysis... A feudal class society... followed by a long list of explanatory text. Heh heh heh... The System had no feelings, but it could have its own expressive personality tags. Unfortunately, her violent former mistress had set her 'personal' image to the most badass mode. Now that she had no new master, there was naturally no way to change it. (She could change it herself, but the System saw no need to.) When fake high-tech goes up against immortal martial arts, which will come out on top? The System's fake concubine-born daughter: Obviously, yours truly! The author's upcoming novel: The Actress's Death Game: I'm back from the brink of death again! Mo Yan was a B-list-at-best actress. Then one day, she got into a car accident and wound up dead on the roadside in the middle of the night... That was when she heard a mechanical child's voice ask, "Would you like to enter the game?" ...This is the story of a third- or fourth-rate actress traveling between the world of games and the real world... Thanks to my little sister for making the cover~
