Xu Shuyi once rescued a badly injured, blind Taoist priest, then sweet-talked him into dating her and tried every kind of blindfolded play.

The Taoist was pale and beautiful, but insatiable. Whenever passion took hold, a flush would spread beneath his eyes and past the white blindfold, and he'd ask in a hoarse voice if she'd had enough.

As the moon sank trembling from the sky, she grew drowsy and lost in pleasure, yet she always heard him say it wasn't enough.

Eventually, she couldn't take it anymore. She broke up with him and threw away the protective charm he'd given her as a token of their love.

Before long, strange things began haunting her, keeping her awake night after night. Her best friend gave her the address of a master exorcist and told her to try her luck.

She took a look. Taoist Master Cheng Yuan? Wasn't that her ex?

She put on a secret identity overnight, brought a voice changer, and knocked on her ex's door. "Master, I'm a fellow Taoist from the north. I heard you can drive out ghosts?"

Her ex, who had opened his Heavenly Eye: ?

Did you think I couldn't see you?

To get Cheng Yuan to help her drive out the ghosts, Xu Shuyi showered him with sweet words.

But he said she was naturally fickle and full of lies, sent her down the mountain, and told her not to disturb his cultivation again.

She sought help from other masters, but somehow kept running into vengeful ghosts. The moment these vicious spirits saw her, they fought to make a pact with her and begged for her love. She couldn't escape them.

Then came the night when a hundred ghosts roamed. Cheng Yuan's sword tore through them all. The white blindfold fell away, revealing golden eyes brimming with tears.

He asked her, "Why can anyone else form a bond of fate with you, but I can't?"

"What's a bond of fate?"

"Anyone who falls in love is bound together for three lifetimes."

Coming soon: "No Money, No School?" Blurb:

Ding Yuan, a genius girl with dreadlocks who grew up in a junkyard, gets into a prestigious federal military academy. Tuition is expensive, and so are room and board. Does she have to take out a loan to attend?!

Interviewer: Interested in a special student loan? Just put up some of your organs as collateral, or work for the Federation for thirty years!

Ding Yuan: ...

After taking out a loan, Ding Yuan works eight jobs a day. While her classmates splash cash around at a ball, she's fixing power lines in acid rain. While they buy new planets for vacations, she's mining and building infrastructure on a trash planet.

She works hard and focuses on making money, but...

Why are all those rich heirs who spend money like it's nothing staring at her with such strange expressions?

*

I'll overthrow the rich heirs and become number one!

A beloved by all, dog-training story. I'll train them all until they bark!
