I don't have many chapters saved up, so updates will be whenever. If you ask for more chapters, there's a chance the diligent-writing buff will drop.
[Couple-focused blurb]
What is Jun Ruoheng best at? Talismans? Swordsmanship? Or running her mouth?
No, no. After being bullied all her life, what she's best at is pretending.
Pretending to be obedient, pretending to be impressive, and putting on airs.
Until one day, she meets someone even better at pretending than she is.
Pretending to be weak, pretending to be dead, and pretending to be supernatural.
The sickly young gentleman slumps on the bed and presses his pale lips together. His gaze is sincere enough: "I am the King of the Underworld."
Jun Ruoheng rolls her eyes. "I am the emperor of the living world."
The man curves his lips into a smile. "No, you're a little lamb waiting for slaughter."
[Heroine-focused blurb]
"I heard that girl who grew up at the funeral home crawled out of a dead person's belly!"
If you had to describe the girl using one, two, and three words, they would probably be unlucky, ill-omened, and a jinx.
Born from a corpse in a coffin, raised in a funeral home.
Jun Ruoheng has been surrounded by such talk since she was little. In truth, aside from having a little more yin energy, she's no different from anyone else.
To keep her safe, Old Ma of the funeral home has racked his brains. He tried seeking guidance in the mountains and arranging an early marriage, but neither seemed to work. In the end, he even sacrificed himself...
[Badass blurb]
Once, the world was divided between the Ghost Path and the Dao. The Dao ascended to heaven, ghosts descended underground, the Dao governed the human world, and ghosts ruled the underworld.
As for the fiends, they existed between heaven and earth, yin and yang.
For thousands of years, the Ghost Path and the Dao worked together to eliminate fiends and maintain order between the yin and yang realms.
Until someone discovered a third realm...
Beneath the Yellow Springs, there is also an abyss.
Theme: My fate is mine to command, not Heaven's.
