[Cross-posting to Royal Road and Scribblehub.]
***
"Do you understand how I could hurt you? I don't think you realise-"
"I don't. I really don't. I can't think of anything worse than what has already happened."
*
The demon hunter, Miss Fén, has been called to save a town from the hundred-year scourge of a vengeful ghost. But things are certainly not what they seem and this initially simple-looking job becomes a saga of intrigue, from a little village to the highest realms of power.
When they discover that both she and the 'ghost' have been betrayed by the same person, how will they take their revenge?
***
What to expect:
- Intrigue and politics
- Daoist references
- Discussions of mental health, some horror and gore elements
- Strong but not OP characters
- A super slowburn female x female romance
***

One day, she received a warning: this little beggar would become a great villain, and Xu Zhen, as a minor character, was destined to be killed by her. This news made Xu Zhen cry. Frightened, Xu Zhen quickly stepped back, kneeling and bowing her head. "I was wrong," she pleaded. "I won't make you learn or do homework again. Please spare me and let me return to the countryside!" The little beggar, with a cold expression, calmly replied, "It's too late to ask for mercy."

DISCLAIMER: I do not claim ownership over this story. I only MTLed it. Original novel: https://www.jjwxc.net/onebook.php?novelid=5287959 Although Luo Qingci knew that her name sounded like that of a heroine in a historical novel, she never expected that one day she would actually transmigrate into an immortal cultivation story. What made her even more helpless was that she didn't transmigrate into the heroine but into the cannon-fodder mentor of the heroine. This immortal cultivation story was a typical strong female protagonist story. However, the heroine wasn't human: she was a dragon. Against the backdrop of a world where humans and dragons were mortal enemies, the heroine suffered various tragic abuses at the hands of humans during the early stages, was betrayed by the male lead, and eventually turned dark, wiping out the cultivation world. As for the heroine's mentor, Huaizhu Jun, right at the beginning, she slaughtered the heroine's entire family, leaving only an egg behind. Later, she continually mistreated the naïve heroine who had innocently sought her as a mentor. In the end, she had her spiritual roots destroyed, her immortal bones extracted, and died without even a complete corpse. When Luo Qingci transmigrated, she found herself surrounded by blood on the ground and saw an ugly, pitch-black, egg-like object, and she was petrified on the spot. She wondered if there was still time to cook this egg? Much later, the heroine said: "Master, weren't you the fierce god who slaughtered dragons? How did you happen to miss me?" Luo Qingci: "Your egg was too ugly." Heroine: "Master, I really like this humiliated look of yours." Luo Qingci: "You're too perverted." Heroine: "Master, I like you. Have you ever felt even a tiny bit of affection for me?" Luo Qingci: "I'm not stupid." Heroine: "..."
