CompletedAn original practice work, with a synopsis I'm not good at writing:
"This life's destiny belongs to your heart. Ruoruo, go find what you yearn for." Qi Ruoyu traverses the territory of the Great Qi for four years, solely for a promise. The world believes she is merely an 'introducer' to extend her senior sister's life, but only her senior sister pushes open the cage, fighting to give her freedom.
Amidst the mundane life of the market, reflecting the various aspects of the human world, she travels with friends, initially intending to be a mere observer. However, she constantly gets entangled in strange occurrences. As soon as she arrives in the capital, she encounters the infamous, stern Arbiter of Hell.
Her resigned heart unexpectedly begins to waver in its fate by his side. Su Zirui, one of the four scions of the capital, leverages his father's influence to oversee criminal justice and determine life and death, known for his impartiality and ruthless methods.
In the capital, babies frequently go missing, and a market woman repeatedly intercepts crucial clues. Amidst layers of fog and bizarre cases, drawn by a fated connection, the two are forced to collaborate.
Falling in love proves more perilous than solving cases. Just when their hearts finally align, the girl he holds dear becomes an 'introducer' coveted by multiple parties, only to pave a path for a lost soul who should have long since departed to the underworld.
What a joke! His woman will be protected by him! "Between me and Shen Nan, who is more important?" Su Zirui suddenly asked this question one day.
A Ruo paused slightly, calmly looking away, "Sister has been dead for so many years, is there any meaning in asking this?" Su Zirui's cold eyes narrowed slightly. He gently pinched her chin, turning her face back towards him, "So, between her and me, who is more important?"
"Both are important," A Ruo pushed his hand away, feeling speechless and wanting to laugh but not daring to. "Both you and she are in my heart. You probably don't know, a person's heart has two atria, left and right. You two live in my left and right atria." She thought, answering such a deadly question with knowledge shouldn't be wrong. A Ruo squinted her eyes triumphantly.
Lord Su, who could never resist her sweet talk, felt his ears slightly warm. He leaned down and kissed her, a gleam in his eyes, and firmly declared, "I want to be on the left." In Great Qi, the left symbolizes greater importance, so he had to be the most important person in her heart.
A Ruo froze, a playful glint in her eyes, "But Sister lived there first; we can't just make her move, can we?" Su Zirui's gaze turned cold, and he said sinisterly, "Then make her move. She's not allowed to live there anymore."
