Blurb One (Straightforward Version)

Jiang Ci thought that working cases alongside the commander of the Imperial City's secret guards would let her rise quickly through the ranks and get a share of the rewards. She never expected to get caught up in a conspiracy...

Blurb Two (Little Scene Version)

- A fine drizzle fell quietly on the ornamental rockery half a zhang away.

- Han Bin stood behind Jiang Ci and gently brushed a fallen leaf from her right shoulder. Just then, a boy who looked to be in his mid-teens came running out from behind the rockery, clutching a kite.

The moment the boy saw the person beside Jiang Ci, his eyes lit up. He murmured, "This young man is as handsome as a painting."

- With that, he reached out to take Han Bin's hand.

- Jiang Ci hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is Han Bin, Commander of the Imperial City's secret guards."

- The young emperor furrowed his brow slightly. "Is he promised to someone?"

- Jiang Ci froze, then hurriedly replied, "He is, he is... Of course he's promised..."

- "To whom?"

- Jiang Ci thought it over, then gave a stiff smile. "To me."

One-on-one romance, happy ending, both leads are each other's first.

[A Carefree Daily Life Traveling the Mortal World with the Deer God]

>>> Blurb:

A carefree young woman who serves as a ghost messenger in Fengdu × a cold, aloof, secretly passionate young Deer God from the Heavenly Court.

Blurb:

Lu He was a minor ghost messenger in Fengdu who got by on two taels of wine a day.

Every so often, she took on a side job: collecting a debt, escorting a soul, or delivering an item to the mortal world. She had spent a peaceful thousand years that way.

On the night of the Ghost Festival, she drunkenly declared, "Across all the lands and seas, the only one worthy of your Lord Lu is the Deer God, Bai Chu!"

But one day, a powerful figure from the Heavenly Court actually showed up in the underworld.

With four deer antlers on his head and an ethereal aura about him, he asked with great curiosity:

"I heard you like me?"

Could she pass up a powerful patron like him?!

If she can't capture a soul, she asks him to handle it.

If she can't beat a monster, she asks him to handle it.

She even asks him for help after catching the Night God cheating with someone else's wife!

The hairpin Lu He had worn for a thousand years broke.

He stroked her head and took out an elegant hairpin made from a deer's antler. "I made it last night from one of my antler branches. Do you like it? ..."

Deer God and ghost messenger, Heavenly Court and underworld, rescuing wronged souls and vengeful ghosts.

Reader's guide:

A fictional setting combining elements from various ghost and god legends and the Classic of Mountains and Seas...

An ancient-style romance dressed up as a ghost story, told in short, episodic tales.

Mostly sweet, with a light mystery element. Both leads are faithful to each other, so dive right in. The female lead becomes a true powerhouse later on, commanding ghost messengers, deploying underworld troops, and controlling a hundred ghosts.

Theme: Political intrigue.
