A Yuan was a painted-skin ghost. One day, she was captured by the demon hunter Ji Ling. To avoid being refined in a furnace, she transformed her face into one that looked almost identical to Ji Ling's sworn elder sister, Xue Shiyu.
Ji Ling loved Xue Shiyu. A Yuan loved Ji Ling. Ji Ling hated everyone except Xue Shiyu, but he could tolerate A Yuan because she looked like her.
Xue Shiyu would scold him, but A Yuan wouldn't. Xue Shiyu treated him like a younger brother, while A Yuan treated him like a king. In Xue Shiyu's heart, he'd never grow up. In A Yuan's, he was a peerless hero. Xue Shiyu never noticed him, but A Yuan's eyes were always fixed on him.
But Ji Ling didn't love her. He despised her, hated her.
Even when he was on the brink of death after being poisoned by the passion flower, A Yuan took off her clothes, but Ji Ling would rather die than touch her. He kept repeating the same thing:
"How dare you do something like this with my elder sister's face!"
Though A Yuan was a painted-skin ghost, she still had her pride.
She was fed up, tired, and done with chasing after him.
But now Ji Ling wouldn't let her go.
He used the blood from his heart to draw countless talismans and form a cage around her, trapping her inside. He smiled coldly:
"Who said you could go reincarnate?"
--
After A Yuan came to her senses, she left Ji Ling and went back to her old line of work.
Workplace: Abandoned temple
Position: Painted-skin seductress ghost
Working hours: The dead of night
Target clientele: Pretty boys and scholars. They must be handsome!
There are countless handsome men under heaven. Surely she could find someone gentle and attentive who suited her. She'd use herself as bait, and some man who was just her type would take it.
Sure enough, a promising customer showed up on opening day.
Tall, long-legged, handsome, and good-natured. A cultured scholar, too.
He won her heart as soon as he opened his mouth. "This student is Shen Yi. May I ask... when did you descend to the mortal realm, fairy? I never knew."
A Yuan laughed, draped her delicate hand over his shoulder, and breathed in his ear. "It wasn't easy for this fairy to descend to the mortal realm, young master. Be gentle with me."
Shen Yi took her cold hand and pressed it warmly to his chest, then never let it go. His phoenix eyes gazed at her tenderly, full of her alone.
"Of course."
[Reading Guide]
1. Only the first chapter is in first person! Only the first chapter! Everything after that is in third person!
2. The male lead is Shen Yi. Ji Ling has a fair amount of screen time early on for plot reasons, but the story is 1v1 in stages, and the male lead will definitely have the most scenes.
Coming soon: "Second Senior Sister Is Causing Trouble Again," "Blaspheming the Gods," and "The Supporting Actress Is Just a Tool in the Candlelight." Visit my profile and add them to your collection!
Title: "Second Senior Sister Is Causing Trouble Again":
If life were divided into four seasons, Jiang Ling'er spent the first half of her life under her father's protection, enjoying a splendid spring. Later, under her husband's protection, she also spent a good while in a blazing, carefree summer.
But her life ended amid the cicadas' cries at the height of summer.
Ji Yunshu was her unlucky husband, the melon she'd forced off the vine. She didn't want to admit it, but Ji Yunshu had only married her because he feared her father's power. She married him at twenty and divorced him at thirty. She watched her father slit his own throat, then fell into a pool of blood with a sword through her neck.
The cicadas were loud that year, as if mocking this father and daughter, who had committed every crime under the sun, for finally getting what they deserved.
Perhaps because blood had filled her eyes, she thought she saw her cheap ex-husband, who should have been holding his new love, stumble toward her, unable even to keep hold of his sword, his beautiful peach-blossom eyes bloodshot.
She took another look and thought, yeah.
She must have been blind to fall for him.
Note:
1. They divorce within the first five chapters. Xiao Ji is not the male lead, and later becomes a notorious mad dog.
2. A career-focused female lead determined to make her escort agency bigger and stronger.
3. An anything-goes story. Many heroes will secretly fall for the female lead, clinging to her and longing for what they can't have. If they can't beat her, they'll start acting crazy. The female lead won't make the first move, won't reject them, and won't take responsibility. This line comes from Ms. Jiang on the comedy show Roast. I couldn't find any stories like it, so I wrote one myself.
4. 1v1 in stages.
Theme: A strong flower blooms in the mud.

The text is finished! Thank you all for being with us all the way! The spin-off article "Blasphemy" and the follow-up article "Second Senior Sister is Harming People Again" hope everyone will support and collect them. The extras will be updated with the list later. Chew! Hey hey hey
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot
The changed setting is indeed more reasonable. No matter how good Ji Gou is, the dog can't break our Ah Yuan's hamstring! I'm looking forward to the story behind it. I hope I can get in a car hehe.
Congratulations on the completion ~ I hope there will be more extras!! I want a sweet love line, woo woo, the crematorium for chasing my wife continues to burn
Nice! It should be considered as the second brush, remember
Finished reading! It's still pretty good to watch, but I feel like the two male supporting actors have too many roles. Maybe I'd rather read a story where the male protagonist has more roles. I don't recommend reading this.
Wuwuwuwuwu My Ninth Prince, My Demonic Monk, My Moko, although there are some bad things in front of me, I still can't bear to let go of it. Wuwu, the torment of the soul that will last forever. Wuwu, the author, are you really good at swords? Wuwu, the author of the New Year should make a family reunion extra (?)
Throw flowers! Love you author so much!
I was at school a few days ago, and I didn't come back until the 112th. I finished spreading flowers!
Merry Christmas! One thing to say is that Ji Gou doesn't know how to speak well and has a harsh attitude. He also engages in a cold war and is hopeless. He deserves to be without a wife.
