[Sweet and Fierce Monster Hunter] x [Proud, Sharp-Tongued Prodigy]
Monster hunter Lin Yao was accidentally "reborn" as the frail young lady of the Shen family.
The treasures she carried attracted monsters eager to get their hands on them.
To keep her family from getting caught up in the danger, she sought refuge at Yujing Pavilion, a school for monster hunters,
where she met the prodigy Yan Wuyou.
"Junior Sister, you don't secretly have a crush on me, do you?"
"Of course not. There's a line of people trying to court me stretching from Yidu to Jinling. You don't stand a chance."
"Good. Don't say I didn't warn you." Yan Wuyou looked haughty. "I'm someone you'll never be able to charm in this lifetime!"
"Right, right, Senior Brother is always right." Lin Yao forced a smile, silently grumbling: How can a face as ethereal as an immortal's come with such a stubborn mouth?
For a time, the two joined forces, working together seamlessly on their expeditions and defeating every foe in their path.
Gradually, an unusual feeling began to stir in both their hearts.
Later, the world was thrown into turmoil, and he was forced into the struggle for the position of Crown Prince.
A letter from home also brought her back to Jinling.
The two joined forces once more, entering a sham marriage and braving every obstacle along the way.
The Crown Prince's seat: claimed!
The Demon King's conspiracy: foiled!
When everything had finally settled, his gaze burned with fervor.
"Yaoyao, will you marry me now? Let's turn our marriage of convenience into one made with all our hearts."
Her eyes shifted as she copied the haughty manner he'd once had.
"Senior Brother, don't say I didn't warn you. I'm someone you'll never be able to charm in this lifetime!"
"Then let me charm you!"
[1. Sharp-tongued banter early on, face-slapping later. 2. The main plot follows the heroine hunting monsters to earn merit and mend a remnant soul. Later, the monster-hunting plot intertwines with the struggle for the throne. 3. She isn't truly reborn. She only borrows someone else's identity early on.]

[Cool-Headed Genius x Proud and Cunning] [A fox, and a big, devoted puppy of a husband]
Her master died while divining the whereabouts of a demon orb, and her uncle-master mysteriously disappeared while searching for it.
Shen Xueyi was entrusted with the task of uncovering the truth about the demon orb.
As luck would have it, she got stuck with a "clingy dog."
He called himself Chu Xinghuan. He had an exceptionally handsome face, and, more importantly, he could really fight!
As the saying goes, you shouldn't get involved with strange men you meet by the roadside.
Shen Xueyi couldn't agree more. She seized her chance and ran.
At the next intersection, he clutched his chest and leaned to one side, looking utterly miserable as he watched her.
His meaning couldn't have been clearer:
I got hurt saving you yesterday, and now you're abandoning me? Doesn't your conscience hurt at all?
Shen Xueyi: No.
But remembering the way he'd cleaved the sky and split the moon with one strike, she decided to let it hurt a little...
So they traveled together, investigating cases, solving mysteries, and transmigrating...
Beyond the fighting, they also watched sunsets and fields of flowers together.
Watching him serve tea and water, and risk his life to protect her in moments of danger,
the other soul inside her could no longer sit still: Hey, remember that we're here to take the demon orb?
Chu Xinghuan: I have to win her over first, then I can trick her!
Once she had half the demon orb, Shen Xueyi was about to take it back to the Monster-Hunting Bureau and activate the array to destroy it,
when everything went dark and the orb was stolen.
He carried her to the bed and kissed her brow.
"Don't hate me."
She suddenly flipped him over and pinned him down, while a demon-binding cord wrapped around his wrists.
"What kind of tragic romance are you acting out, Young Master Chu? Or should I call you the Demon Lord?"
Theme: My heart faces the sun, unafraid of wind and frost.
