The Young Pavilion Master Hasn't Died Today Either

(Historical setting with a touch of low magic, two equally formidable leads)

[A scheming, mischievous young state preceptor (male lead) x a sickly beauty who's an incredible fighter (female lead)]

The dynasty is flourishing, but for a hundred years, "Eerie Realms" have been quietly appearing across the land. The rules inside them are warped, and they often take a hundred or two lives before disappearing.

Xiao Wange, the young mistress of the Divine Ghost Pavilion, is a skilled fighter, the sharpest blade there is.

Unfortunately, she was born frail. She hates the cold and loves to sleep, and isn't expected to live long.

Later, her younger brother gets trapped in a notorious brothel Eerie Realm, and even the imperial court's Bureau for Suppressing the Unusual is powerless to help.

Her mother tells her, "Then go in and die. Bring your brother back."

Inside the Eerie Realm, an evil ghost exposes the lie with a single sentence: her parents stole her life long ago and transferred it to her brother.

She thinks she should take her life back from them.

Reader's Guide

1. Historical setting + rule-based horror. One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first and only, happy ending.

2. Not a typical infinite-flow story (important). The dungeon and real-world dynasty plots are split evenly, and the leads also team up to clear the dungeons.

3. The male lead appears starting in Chapter 4.

Content Warning

This is not a no-romance story about an independent heroine. The romance takes up a significant portion.

Theme: Just wait until the day he sits in the Qilin Pavilion, and see how he first paints the beauty's portrait.
