#Shocking! I thought she was a cool, aloof beauty, but turns out she's a hilarious beauty once you get to know her#
#I thought the police captain would be stern and cold, but then...#
[Chilly manga-loving girl ghost hunter vs. goofy, directionally challenged, easygoing police captain]
Romance is the main focus, but there's a plot too. Slightly suspenseful and slightly scary. Set in an alternate modern world, with entirely fictional characters and cities.
A case takes place in an apartment building. After an investigation, it's discovered to be a ghost case... The case leads to the rumored Daoist Master Changqing, who seems to have a reason for coming to this city...
[Give it a read!!]
[For readers here for the romance, a few warnings first: 1. The romance develops gradually. The heroine is young; things only become romantic after she reaches adulthood. Before then, they're friends and comrades who fight side by side.]
[Both leads are virgins + sweet romance]
[For readers here for the plot, a warning: Don't get too hung up on logic. This is an absurdist ghost-hunting story, not traditional ghost-hunting fiction. It may incorporate elements of Eastern horror and introduce ghosts and gods. If that's not your thing, don't read it.]
Suggestions are welcome, and I'll gladly take them on board. Thank you.
Blurb 1
The girl's body suddenly rose into the air, a radiant aura spreading around her. A halo gilded her face, making her look like a god.
No, she was a god!
A mark appeared on her forehead: the mark of divinity.
She had attained immortality.
She had done it!
She had reached a peak that no Daoist had ever achieved.
The girl stopped in front of him. Qin Xuan instinctively took a step back. He was covered in blood, looking... awful.
She said, "Qin Xuan, I've ascended to immortality."
"Congratulations." Qin Xuan smiled sincerely, but after a moment, a trace of sorrow passed through his heart...
She fell silent.
Everything around them seemed to freeze. She rose onto her toes and placed a kiss on his forehead.
"I like you."
"But I have to go."
"I shouldn't have returned your feelings, but I like you."
After saying that, she left, following the path of light that split the dark clouds.
She was gone...
This time, they truly would never see each other again.
Qin Xuan kept smiling, his eyes filled with complicated emotions as he stared in the direction she had gone. After a long while, he lowered his head and opened his hand. A ring lay in his palm.
He gazed at it for a long time.
Then he lowered his head and kissed it.
"I love you."
(The blurb is a little rough, but I promise the ending isn't this rough. I really do!!)
Theme: This isn't about preaching. I just love writing heroines like this.
