[I love revising chapter endings. Check back about ten minutes after publication for chapter 33.]

"My master wasn't lying. I'm fated to be broke!"
Having just arrived in Japan with only a thousand yen to her name, Chu Yi was fretting. She'd set up a fortune-telling stall, but hadn't earned a single coin.
Just as she was considering whether she could make do with a night under a bridge...
"Oh my, are your fortunes accurate? If not, I'll call the police."
"They're super accurate!"
Xuan Yuan Chu Yi excitedly grabbed the handsome white-haired guy's hand. "Young man, your forehead looks dark, and bad luck is clinging to you. You'll surely suffer a bloody disaster soon. Let me cover your food, lodging, and transportation for a week, and I'll help you!"
Gojo thought for just a second. "Sure~ Let's give it a try."
Try it and die...
In the end, Chu Yi was caught red-handed swindling people, and she'd already spent every last bit of her payment. Now she was stuck doing manual labor at Tokyo Jujutsu High, so miserable she could cry.
Well, the school cafeteria food is delicious, and I get room and board plus a salary.

Xuan Yuan Chu Yi came from Huaxia, the birthplace of sorcery. She had no cursed energy, yet could go toe-to-toe with the strongest sorcerer.
"Master, how did you just use that move, hitting the ox across the mountain?"
"That's Taijiquan. Internal force."
"Wow, Master, how did you do that? You waved your hand and made fire and water appear!"
"It's the Taiji Bagua formation. The water and fire come from the Kan and Li trigrams."
"Master, that thing you just did..."
"A protective talisman."
"Master, you know way too many things!"
"I'm just okay, third-best in the world." Chu Yi was very modest. "I know a little bit of each of the Daoist Five Arts."
Yes, just a little.
The terrifying destructive power to wipe out an entire area with a wave of her hand, talismans that could manifest all kinds of abilities with a flash of spiritual light, stopping bleeding by pressing a few acupoints, saving people with a few needles... She calls that knowing just a little?
Chu Yi said matter-of-factly, "I come from the Xuan Yuan clan. Isn't it normal for me to know Qimen Dunjia? I've never even used my strongest move."
Gojo suddenly appeared. "What's Chu Yi's strongest move?"
"The Nine-Character Mantra."
"Oh~ The one Japan copied from Huaxia but got the characters wrong? Show me."
"I can't use it unless it's absolutely necessary. They'll drag me back to Huaxia and lock me up! You bastard, don't even think about getting me in trouble!"
The mantra that embodies the laws of all things brings blessings when written as a talisman, and becomes a spell when spoken.
*
Though Chu Yi insisted she would never use the Nine-Character Mantra, one day she broke her own rule.
"I'll kill every last one of you!"
After getting kicked out of bed and crawling into a cat carrier, Gojo grinned. "Yi Yi's really mad this time."
"Of course! I'm furious!"
Chu Yi said something shocking. "My destined partner was almost locked in a cat carrier. How could I not be mad?"
"If we're destined for each other, why did you run away?"
"...Didn't I leave you money? It's not like I said I wouldn't take responsibility."
Chu Yi grabbed Gojo by the neck. "I even gave you the token passed down by the Xuan Yuan clan to the 'clan head's wife.' We're bound now. You'll never be able to take it off."
Too late to regret it now, hehehe ╭(╯^╰)╮
In short, this is the story of a little Taoist who loves money but never has any, and eventually snags a rich, handsome guy (not really).

1. OOC warning, OOC warning, OOC warning.
2. The pairing is 285, strictly one-on-one throughout. The Daoist arts and related information are mostly based on a combination of real-life sources and fiction, so don't overanalyze them.
3. Both leads are top-tier powerhouses. I won't state or write who is stronger or weaker. I don't want to have my original characters trample on the source material, and I don't want Daoism to lose. A tie would be too ridiculous, so I'll just leave it out.
4. [Chu Yi will take in Itadori as her disciple. If that bothers you, feel free to drop the story without telling me!]
5. The main story begins in early 2018. Gojo switches between bandages and a blindfold at first, then sticks with the blindfold.
Theme: Believe in science.
I had a fitness problem and it couldn't be cured. Then I went to the hospital for a few tests and found that my physical condition was not very good. I have been doing physical therapy during this period. I will update in a few days.
