The Immortal Maiden from the Book Came Knocking!

"Who are you?"

"Qin Yu, a novelist and a law-abiding citizen."

"What is your relationship with the Netherworld Sect?"

"Uh... You probably won't believe me, but the Netherworld Sect is something I made up for my novel."

"What did you say?"

"You can think of it this way: the place you're in isn't the Eastern Profound Continent or a world of immortal cultivation. It's the 21st century, in another world."

"There are no cultivators here, and no flying on swords..."

"Utter nonsense!"

"All right, all right..."

Qin Yu looked at the immortal maiden who had taken him hostage and felt the chilling sensation at his throat. He silently raised both hands.

"Miss Immortal, please calm down!"

(One female lead + slice of life + lighthearted and heartwarming + no angst or deep-seated grudges)
