Note: This isn't scary, because the author gets scared too. Most of it is a bald author's tale of everyone guessing what will happen, then guessing again.
Chang Ning remembers her master once saying, "Sometimes, the quietest hours of the night are actually the liveliest."
If Heaven gave Chang Ning a chance to choose, she'd be happy to do what most people do: go to bed early, dream about handsome guys, and enjoy an ordinary, happy night like a normal person.
Too bad for her damned conscience! She just can't help being kind.
Every day, Chang Ning is exhausted. She never chose to deal with nonhumans, but she has to, so her life is all acting and putting on a show.
Sharp-tongued heroine x nonhuman hero
A heroine who frets every day over her receding hairline x a hero who secretly waits for his chance to get into the heroine's bed.
The everyday gist of this story is that the system forces me to work, while the author struggles to get the male and female leads' romance up and running.
I may not be able to make you laugh, but a bookmark would be nice too (holding out an empty bowl).
