[All-Around, Universally Adored, Badass Heroine x Scheming, Cunning, Extremely Possessive Hero]
After Qu Chi died, she was bound to a System tasked with saving a Dragon-Aotian hero. But before she could even open her eyes in the new world, her head came out first with a newborn's wail.
That wasn't even the worst of it. Besides the System running off and her nearly being eaten by a wild ghost, what annoyed her most was saving an impoverished scholar with amnesia.
A disastrous start. How was she supposed to play this?!
Qu Chi wanted to give up, but she couldn't sit still. In her previous life she'd been a mercenary, and she was exceptionally capable...
The original owner had been falsely accused and imprisoned. Officials and bandits were in cahoots, all as bad as each other. To clear the original owner's name, Qu Chi risked her life and delved deep into the case.
In an abandoned mountain village, a ghost child appeared amid swirling black mist and thick fog. What secret was hidden by the kidnapping bandits?
In the capital, a girl wept in the Qin residence at night, and evil spirits devoured people, leaving everyone in fear... Fortunately, the System returned in time with a shapeshifting golden finger. Qu Chi won a hard-fought victory and made a name for herself. She learned that the Qin residence and the Marquis's estate were conspiring behind the scenes, and that their plot was closely tied to the case of the wrongful conviction.
Just as the case was becoming clear, the System issued a warning. To save her own skin, Qu Chi faked her death and left the impoverished scholar who had weathered every hardship with her. To complete her mission of saving the Dragon-Aotian hero, she set off on a one-way journey to find the Third Prince.
Later, strange phenomena filled the Little Princess's residence, where ghosts and monsters gathered. Qu Chi went to investigate. While she was talking to the little princess, she turned around and saw the scholar holding his sword hilt, looking at her with an air of arrogance.
Qu Chi's heart skipped a beat. She tentatively asked, "And this person is... ?"
The little princess smiled. "My third imperial brother."

Xie Guanyi sneered, staring at Qu Chi as he spoke one word at a time. "This is the sorcerer you found? I don't like her."
Qu Chi's scalp prickled. Not wanting to trade barbs, she turned and left.
That night, Xie Guanyi chased after her, grabbed her wrist, and pinned her against the wall. His dark eyes glistened with tears as he bit his lip and pleaded, "Don't leave me..."
Qu Chi instinctively reached to touch his head.
Later, the haunting at the Little Princess's residence was resolved, and the forces behind the wrongful conviction were exposed. Together, they cleared the case and helped Xie Guanyi ascend the throne. Qu Chi completed her mission and could finally return to her original world.
As she hesitated, Xie Guanyi imprisoned her in the palace. His eyes were bloodshot, and a mocking smile tugged at his lips as he said each word like a man on the verge of madness: "Where do you think you're going?"
He stayed by her side day and night, never leaving her, following her like a shadow.
Qu Chi wanted to cry out to the heavens: Which one of us is the ghost here?!
-
Xie Guanyi believed he was the first to realize how wonderful Qu Chi was.
So what if he wasn't good enough for her? No one was good enough for her, including that eyesore Cheng Ji.
Those people were only passersby in Qu Chi's life. He was different. Qu Chi would never abandon him.
He would follow behind Qu Chi forever and ever.
No matter what role he had to play...
