Marry a Playboy? She Makes a Name for Herself Across the Capital with a Single Talisman

[Historical romance + mysticism + marriage before love + satisfying face-slapping] A ruthless, no-nonsense heiress versed in mysticism vs. a fated seven-killer star who brings death to his wives

An imperial decree summons Yin Liuli home after twelve years of studying the Dao, which she had been sent away to do by the Marquis of Yin's household.

She's to marry Gu Jinyan, a dissolute young lord whose fate brings death to his wives.

Yin Liuli glances at his destiny and gives an evil grin:

“Well, what do you know? You're exactly the kind of ill-fated star under the Seven Killings I need at my side. Perfect for taking the lightning strike for me... I mean, helping me survive the heavenly tribulation.”

The Yin family trades her for wealth and glory for the whole household.

She takes them all down with a single talisman. “This lavish bridal procession was your own choice.”

On their wedding night, her husband tries to lay down the rules. The next moment, he's on his knees, slapping himself in the face.

“I was wrong, my lady! From now on, I'll do whatever you tell me. I'll brave fire and water for you!”

Yin Liuli gives him a disdainful look. “Wrong posture. Get up and kneel again.”

She captures ghosts and drives out evil, using talismans to unleash devastating attacks. Before long, all the powerful and influential people in the capital have become her devoted fans.

She meant to leave after surviving the heavenly tribulation, but who could have guessed the young lord would change his tune and cling to her? After kneeling by her bedside every night, he even tries to climb into bed!
