Supernatural Death Investigation Bureau

[Cool on the outside, warm at heart, fiercely protective of her own, ice beauty vs. lively and cheerful, plays dirty, shameless little rascal]

Blurb:

Miao Xiao dreamed that she died.

Then she came back to life.

Ever since joining the Investigation Bureau, Miao Xiao hasn't had many peaceful days.

First, she was sent to investigate a mummified corpse, and nearly died at the hands of a woman in red.

Nope, that's enough! She's out of here!

She grabbed her luggage and tried to run away in the middle of the night.

A cold voice rang out behind her. "The Investigation Bureau isn't somewhere you can come and go as you please."

Terrified, Miao Xiao turned around and saw Qi Mingjing's beautiful face, the kind that looked like someone owed her eight million.

Sobbing, she asked, "What? We're all adults. A one-night stand is perfectly normal. Do you really have to kill me over it?"

"..." Qi Mingjing was unusually at a loss for words. "That's not why. Anyway, you can't leave."

Miao Xiao nodded. "Oh, I get it. You want to sleep with me again because I'm good at it."

The two had met in high school, when Miao Xiao had pursued Qi Mingjing relentlessly, shamelessly throwing herself at her. After failing to win her over for three years, she slept with her out of spite.

When they met again, Qi Mingjing had become Miao Xiao's boss.

No wonder she kept trying to kill her!

Miao Xiao looked utterly dejected. "Am I going to survive this?"

Qi Mingjing: "Absolutely."

Later, Miao Xiao made a name for herself with a single victory at the Supernatural People Martial Arts Tournament. Just as she was basking in her success, she received an "assassination order."

Miao Xiao was horrified. "They want to kill me?" She shot Qi Mingjing a suspicious look. "Did you set this up?"

Qi Mingjing said innocently, "Why are you blaming me again?"

-

Qi Mingjing is the heir to the Qi family, one of the seven great families in the supernatural world. She shouldered the family's responsibilities from a young age, protecting ordinary people from harm at the hands of those with supernatural powers.

She is an investigator, and an enforcer.

She is also the most loyal subordinate of the previous Director of the Enforcement Division.

She faithfully watched over her young mistress as she grew up, never expecting a marriage contract to come to light.

Miao Xiao was furious. "You have a fiancee? Go get this Lu Nanqiu here right now. I want to meet her."

Qi Mingjing: "No. You can't beat her."

Miao Xiao growled, "Then who do you love, her or me?"

Qi Mingjing: "Both."

Miao Xiao got mad, quit, and threw a tantrum. She was determined to find this Lu woman and fight her to the death.

Later, Miao Xiao was stunned to discover that her love rival was actually herself!!!

Content warnings: 1. They switch roles. Plot comes first, and the romance develops slowly. Both leads are each other's only partners, happy ending!

2. The setting draws inspiration from the legendary Bureau 749. The whole thing is made up, with tons of original worldbuilding. Modern alternate universe, supernatural horror, episodic stories, a touch of ensemble cast, power progression, and very, very long!

Theme: Work hard and strive to improve yourself!
