[An aloof, love-shunning female ghost-catching officer × a crazy little puppet who keeps testing the waters and loses his mind for love]
·
For thousands of years, the Wuchang have shouldered the duties of guiding the dead and slaying evil spirits. They graft evil spirits' souls into corpses to make puppets.
Li Nian is one of them. After being demoted from one of the Ten Kings of Hell to a Wuchang, she breaks the rules and grafts an evil spirit into a living body: the boy lying outside her home, covered in wounds.
Only because that body is an exceptionally good match for the evil spirit's soul.
Just as she hoped, the boy excels at everything, from catching ghosts to making coffins to fighting enemies.
At first, she treats him as a convenient puppet.
Later, she realizes that the way he looks at her is becoming increasingly strange.
·
When Xie Yin is grievously poisoned and his internal organs are torn apart, he meets Li Nian.
She wipes the blood from the corner of his mouth and chisels the first sliver of light into his life.
To repay her kindness, he willingly stays by her side as a puppet.
Until he discovers that Li Nian has someone else in her heart.
That person is an immortal lord in the highest heavens, while he is nothing but a lowly puppet under her command.
Demoted for thousands of years, Li Nian still can't forget that immortal lord. Yet whenever she looks at Xie Yin, her gaze remains clear and innocent, without a trace of anything else.
Xie Yin silently tightens his grip on the long sword in his hand.
His palm is bloody and mangled, but he pays it no mind.
·
Li Nian has always thought Xie Yin steady and dependable, never imagining that one day he would grip her waist and pin her against a cabinet.
And the red strings she uses to control him stop working.
In the narrow space, the man's palm is scorching, as if it could burn through her thin clothes. His eyes are filled with obsession and madness. His voice is hoarse: "My lady, could you please look at me..."
Her perspective: She only wanted a convenient puppet, but accidentally saved a loyal dog who decided she was the one and wouldn't let go.
His perspective: He only wanted to repay his benefactor by quietly staying at her side, but fell in love and wasn't satisfied with being just a puppet under her command.
#The puppet develops forbidden feelings and desperately tests the waters with its master#
#I don't want to be a puppet anymore. I want to make love to her#
[Reader's Guide]
1. Most of the puppet lore is the author's own invention. Don't overanalyze it.
2. One-on-one, both leads have only been with each other, happy ending. Not scary, bittersweet and sweet, with a fairly slow pace.
3. The cover lettering was kindly written by a forum member, and a friend did the layout~

In her previous life, Ye Yao transmigrated into a book as the junior sister of Fengqing Sect. To return to the modern world, she followed the instructions of the transmigration System, working diligently to redeem the book's villain, Fu Xuan.
Fu Xuan was handsome as a jade sculpture, but he was merely a disciple with a low-grade spiritual root, bullied by the other disciples in the sect.
Ye Yao, with stars in her eyes: What a delicate, sickly beauty! I'm going to win him over!
When Fu Xuan was bullied, she stood up for him.
When Fu Xuan hit a wall in his cultivation, she offered him spirit pills.
When Fu Xuan went down the mountain on a mission, she shut her eyes and took a blade for him.
At first, Fu Xuan built a high wall of defenses, but gradually he let go of his hatred, took the righteous path, and began looking at Ye Yao with tender eyes.
Ye Yao was confident she'd make it to the end, but still couldn't escape Fu Xuan's fate of becoming a demon.
Dark clouds loomed overhead. A black dragon pierced the sky behind the man, as if he would swallow everything in his shadow. A dark red mark sat between his brows, and his eyes held a trace of coldness and estrangement as he looked at her.
Before Ye Yao could react, the black dragon conjured by Fu Xuan pierced her chest, and she fell alone into the cold darkness.
When she opened her eyes again, Ye Yao was back at the scene of her first meeting with Fu Xuan.
She saw those same innocent yet blood-red eyes again.
Ye Yao, trembling with fear: What delicate beauty? He's clearly a ruthless, cold-hearted Demon Lord.
He'll lie low at her side, pretend she's changed him, then use the chance to revive the demon race.
A cunning schemer, a demon seed by nature.
If she can't beat him, she can at least stay away, right?
·
Reborn, Fu Xuan returns to the days of his youth, when he had lost all his demon bones.
When people trample him underfoot again, he pays no heed to the insults in his ears or the pain tearing through him.
His eyes stay fixed on the entrance to the bamboo grove. The bright face from his memories doesn't appear; instead, he sees the hem of a blue-green skirt fleeing in panic.
The emptiness in his heart is hundreds of times worse than losing his demon bones.

A diary skit from Yao:
First day after being reborn: Achievement unlocked: I let someone die without helping! ...But why is the Demon Lord here to thank me? I didn't save you!
Second day after being reborn: I drug the Demon Lord's food to get back at him for deceiving me in my previous life... Why did he make me a new portion? And why does it smell so good?
Third day after being reborn: The Demon Lord gave me an immortal pill... But I just want to slack off, not cultivate!
Nth day after being reborn: Wait, why has he started trying to win me over?
Theme: There's always someone who will heal you.

Bring along my pre-received baby ~ "Back before the devil turns dark", you can click on the column if you are interested ~ [Healing the little sun in the world x being cold, cruel, beautiful and miserable] In the previous life, Ye Yao transformed into the junior sister of Feng Qingzong. In order to return to modern times, she followed the instructions of the book traveling system and worked diligently to redeem the villain Fu Xuan in the book. Fu Xuan was born with jade and gold, but he was just a disciple with low-grade spiritual roots. He was bullied by the disciples in the sect. Ye Xingxingyan Yao: What a delicate and sickly beauty! Take it! Fu Xuan was bullied and she stepped forward. Fu Xuan was hampered in his cultivation, so she offered him the elixir. When Fu Xuan went down the mountain to go on a mission, she blocked the knife with her eyes closed. At first, Fu Xuan put up a high wall of caution, but gradually, he put down his hatred and stepped onto the right path, and his eyes when he looked at Ye Yao became gentle. Ye Yao was confident until the end, but she still did not escape the end of Fu Xuan becoming a demon. The dark clouds were overwhelming, and I could see the black dragon behind the man running through the sky, as if to swallow everything in his shadow. There was a dark red between his eyebrows, and the eyes looking at her were a little cold and unfamiliar. Before Ye Yao could react, her chest had been penetrated by the black dragon transformed by Fu Xuan, and she fell into the cold darkness alone. Opening her eyes again, Ye Yao returned to the scene where she met Fu Xuan for the first time. See those innocent yet scarlet eyes again. Ye Xese Shivering Yao: Where is the sick beauty? She is clearly a cruel and ruthless devil. Hibernating next to her, pretending to be influenced by her, and taking the opportunity to revive the demon clan ——Quite scheming and a born devil. If she can't afford to offend him, can she still not be able to hide? Once reborn, Fu Xuan returned to his youth when all his demonic bones were lost. When he was stepped on again, he didn't pay attention to the insults in his ears, nor did he pay attention to the heartbreaking pain. Wei Wei's eyes were fixed on the entrance of the bamboo forest. The bright face in her memory did not appear, but she could see the blue skirt that had fled. The disappointment in my heart is a thousand times worse than losing my demon bone. Yao's Diary Small Theater: The first day of rebirth: The achievement of refusing to save anyone is achieved! ... But why did the big devil come to thank me? I didn't save you! The second day of rebirth: I drugged the devil's food and asked him to lie to me in his previous life... How could he make a new one for me? Still smells delicious? The third day of rebirth: The devil gave me the elixir... But I just want to be dead and not practice! Rebirth on the nth day: No, why did he start attacking me?
Finished spreading flowers, keep up the good work! Happy National Day 🐰

No? It seems like the male protagonist made the move first. I feel like the pace is too fast.
