Farewell at the Jade Palace

Ling Su had lived in the human world for thousands of years. She loved a lively atmosphere, so she had her maid, Madam Tao, open a riverside tavern called Penglai, where she could drop in to eat and listen to gossip whenever she had nothing else to do.

Madam Tao was a consummate social butterfly and ran the tavern to great success. Their lives had always been as calm as still water, until one day, Ling Su's former fiance snatched away an item she had been determined to claim. From then on, her life was never peaceful again...

Blurb:

Proud, sharp-tongued, nationally beloved screenwriter x abstinent, upright astrophysicist

Nan Yue, a newly acclaimed "nationally beloved screenwriter," seems to have it all. But her love life is a mess, and her demanding work is driving her and her fiance, Han Quezhou, further and further apart. On the night of their third anniversary, Nan Yue leaves Han Quezhou behind to attend a meeting. When she returns, he's disappeared, and no one knows where he is.

Two days later, Nan Yue has a strange dream. In it, Han Quezhou tells her that five years ago, he left her a letter at the guesthouse where she had stayed while sketching. If she ever discovers that he has gone missing, she should go there in person to retrieve it.

The awkward part is that the guesthouse is being renovated, and the designer is Lu Jiangshen, the ex-boyfriend she had a spectacularly ugly breakup with.

To get to the truth, Nan Yue swallows her pride and sets out to find Han Quezhou, prepared for a possible showdown with her ex...
