Records of Strange Demons in Heng

Murong Yan had thought her life would be peaceful and dull. After her mother passed away, she and her father ran an ordinary tavern together. But ever since they took in that strange father and daughter one night, everything began hurtling in a bizarre direction.

A tree demon that kills people, an underground black market, the living turned to bones... Demons and spirits lurk in the shadows, waiting for their chance. Dragged into one strange incident after another, Murong Yan ends up at the Hengyao Bureau, which specializes in affairs concerning nonhuman beings. With danger approaching, can they see through the fog to uncover the truth and protect everything they hold dear?

From their very first meeting, she saw Di You as a cold-blooded man who put self-interest above all else. She always thought he was like the Taotie statue at the entrance to the Hengyao Bureau, ready to swallow her whole if she ever displeased him. But as they traveled together through one bizarre tale after another, Murong Yan discovered that he wasn't quite the person she had first imagined. Just like the cases they had faced, the truth was always unexpected.

Murong Yan: I just want to live a peaceful life.

Di You: That's a fine wish, but forget about it.

The story of a man who kidnaps a young girl and gets her to help him save the world.

[Please Note]

1. The main couple is a volatile, ambitious official (and workaholic) × a lively mixed-heritage girl, with a seven-year age gap. The secondary couple is a cunning fox of a man × an outspoken, wolfish woman.

The focus is on their work in the early chapters, and the romance develops gradually. Happy ending.

2. This is more of an ensemble story. There may be characters in this world who are attracted to the same sex, but all couples in the main cast are male-female.

3. Before the heroine and hero get to know each other, she interacts more with other characters, but this is not a love triangle! Keep reading and everything will be explained~
