Also known as The Alluring Ghost
A timid, death-fearing, honest girl disguised as a male scholar x all kinds of demons and ghosts
For generations, Yan Jinxi's family had been demon hunters, but she aspired to become a government official. To realize her dream, she disguised herself as a man, packed her bags, and headed to the capital to take the imperial exams.
Yan Jinxi was full of determination, but her blood was irresistibly attractive to demons, making the journey to the capital fraught with danger.
As she studied at her desk, a beautiful painted-skin demon wrapped itself around her waist. Its gentle breath was as tempting as poppies, yet every bit as dangerous. "The imperial exams are grueling, sir. Why not put down your books and spend a night of passion with me?"
Among the other candidates, a wicked ghost with a heart of snake and scorpion hid in plain sight. He seemed the very picture of a gentleman, but his smiling eyes concealed murderous intent. "I greatly admire your talent, Master Yan. Would you care to join me in my room for a chat?"
The mighty and imposing Regent showed favor to no one but her. In truth, he suffered from a bloodthirsty affliction and coveted her sweet blood. "Your talent is exceptional, sir. Why not join my household and serve me?"
After becoming an official, she discovered that the aloof and self-possessed Chancellor was a fox demon. Late at night, he would lie on her bed, his every glance alluring, intent on draining her nourishing essence. "I hear your cold has lingered for quite some time, Attendant. I have a secret remedy. Take off all your clothes and sleep with me."
Yan Jinxi was only a mediocre demon hunter. She couldn't exorcise demons, but luckily, she had a silver tongue and could keep those men wrapped around her little finger.
To the painted-skin demon, she clasped his hands and gazed into his tearful eyes, pouring out her heart with deep affection. "I have important matters I can't leave behind. Once I've made something of myself, I'll come for you."
To the evil ghost, she wept and reluctantly gave him a coral bracelet as a token of their love. "Let this bracelet be our proof. My love for you will never fail, even if the seas dry up and the rocks crumble."
To the Regent, she spoke passionately, laying bare her painful predicament. "Our stations are worlds apart. If outsiders learn about our relationship, they'll grow suspicious, and it won't be good for either of us."
To the Chancellor, she held back her tears and vowed not to give in. "I know you love me, but you should think about how I feel. I don't like you being so casual."
They believed her, but what awaited them was Yan Jinxi's merciless abandonment. She had actually exploited their weaknesses to kill them with her own hands.
Yan Jinxi thought that everything would be fine once she had dealt with them. She never dreamed that nightmares would begin to plague her.
Countless hands caressed her, chaotic shadows coiled around her body, and a burning heat overwhelmed her as bewitching whispers filled her ears.
"Why did you lie to me?"
"Why did you abandon me?"
"Who do you really love?"
