Scheming older exorcist top X prickly chef idol bottom

The story has a touch of the bizarre, but isn't especially scary. It's mainly about cooking and falling in love. Please add it to your collection! The entire story is fictional, so please don't relate it to real life.

Original title: There Are Always Troublemakers Trying to Harm My Wife

.

Chi Yizhi had been haunted by "unseen things" since childhood and nearly died young. Her parents searched everywhere for help before an expert performed a ritual to ward off disaster. Chi Yizhi grew up safe and sound until she turned eighteen, then went to Huaidu to pursue her dream of becoming an idol. But she discovered that the strange things from her childhood had returned.

.

Even before Ye Zhiling was born, it was prophesied that she would bring death to her family. She was abandoned at the entrance to a Taoist sect when she was three. The only person she was close to, her master, also left early, only leaving behind instructions for her to enter the world and gain experience.

.

Huaidu was in the midst of a sinkhole disaster, with the living and the dead mingling together. The various sects had come for profit, and the situation was chaotic. Ye Zhiling didn't dare get involved carelessly, especially not with that unlucky woman named Chi Yizhi. An aura of danger constantly surrounded her, and Ye Zhiling wanted nothing to do with her.

.

But Chi Yizhi could make omurice.

She could make an exception and save her once.

But Chi Yizhi made beef brisket and radish stew.

She could save her one more time, but never again.

B-but she said she'd make chicken stew with chestnuts...

.

After facing one crisis after another, Ye Zhiling received some siu mai made by Chi Yizhi... and a confession. Thinking that her Daoist heart was merely unsteady and that she still needed more experience, Ye Zhiling turned her down.

.

Heartbroken, Chi Yizhi investigated the strange events around her until she uncovered a terrible secret about herself: the reason she had survived safely until now was that someone had used forbidden magic to borrow another person's lifespan and shield her from disaster...

.

What was going on?

Ye Zhiling, who regretted everything and came back to find her: Hmph! It's just those troublemakers who are always trying to hurt my wife!

.

(When they first met)

Chi Yizhi missed her chance to become famous because Ye Zhiling casually interpreted her fortune, so she went to the Taoist temple to demand an explanation.

Ye Zhiling: Your forehead is dark, your face is shadowed, and your shadow is wavering. Fame was never in the cards for you.

Chi Yizhi: Pah!

(Later)

Some people have one free meal and then want to eat every meal there.

Ye Zhiling: I want chicken stew with chestnuts.

Chi Yizhi: You look lively, you're smiling, and your voice is full of energy. You can't possibly be hungry.

Ye Zhiling: Hmph.
