Walking with a Lantern, Guiding Souls, The Marquis’ Lady Returns from the Underworld
Criminal investigations, soul-ferrying powers, a formidable partnership, and a slow-burn romance.
Everyone knew that Ren Fengjue, the Young Marquis of Renxuan Marquis Manor, was an exceptionally capable man. At a young age, he was already a high-ranking court official and one of the Emperor’s most trusted favorites.
With an illustrious background, striking looks, and both brains and brawn, he seemed to move through life without ever meeting an obstacle he could not overcome.
That changed the day a woman claiming to be his fiancée appeared at his door and opened with a sentence that left him stunned.
Xia Ximo: “Write me a letter of annulment.”
Ren Fengjue: “???”
At first, Lord Ren was buried in official duties and had no interest in romance. If she wanted out of the engagement, so be it. He had never intended to marry in the first place.
Later, after one twist after another, the way he looked at his fiancée changed completely.
Ren Fengjue: “I have already petitioned the Emperor for a marriage decree. If we annul the engagement now, it would count as defying an imperial edict, a crime punishable by the execution of nine generations.”
Xia Ximo: “???”
Who’s the Prey Now?

My sister is dead. She committed suicide for a man.
When I was sorting through her belongings, I found a pair of handcuffs and some photographs.
In the photos, she was completely naked, her body covered in bruises.
A rush of blood surged through me, my whole body turned cold, and I was instantly overwhelmed by an indescribable terror and confusion.
But I didn’t know yet that the person who started all this had no intention of stopping.
And I was his next target.
