I had to chuckle while copy/pasting the title of this post, because it might be the longest most complicated one I’ve ever had. To explain, the original title was 寻郎 … and apparently there’s a simplified version where the title was changed to 女心理师之江湖断案 – I listened to it as an audiobook on OverDrive, so I’m not entirely sure which version I listened to, although upon finding more, I think I read the latter.
寻郎 (Xún Láng; Looking for a Gentleman/In Search of Love) aka 女心理师之江湖断案 (Nǚ Xīn Lǐ Shī Zhī JiāngHú Duàn Án; Female Psychologist Solving Cases in the Jianghu) by 明月听风 (Ming Yue Ting Feng ; Bright Moon Listens To The Wind)
Fantasty romance set in multiple words, web novel fully published June 24, 2014
Because of course everything is complicated, there are also two blurbs. They are as follows:
1. Su Xiaopei, an older single woman and criminal psychologist. She met the mythological matchmaker on her blind date. She was told that her destined lover’s soul had been knocked into another world due to a car accident. She had to bring this strange man back, otherwise she would live alone for the rest of her life. She thought she had met a mentally unstable individual, but when she woke up, she had arrived at her destination in her pajamas…
2. A woman without any romantic cells is told by a god of marriage, a Yue Lao, to bring back her destined love, otherwise she will live alone for the rest of her life.
But what does that stupid man look like? I don’t know.
What kind of personality? I don’t know.
What does he do? I don’t know.
Is it okay not to find him? Of course not.
Su Xiaopei, who believes that everything has logic, has hit a wall this time.In a word: This is a story about a modern female psychology expert who goes to ancient times to fall in love with a adorable warrior and solve cases.
You know a book a book is good when you’ve read it multiple times, know exactly what happens and what is coming, and yet it still makes you cry. Every. Time. (And this isn’t even my favorite book I’ve read by this author, though it might be a close second.) It also has such an interesting premise. What if you take a woman who is “too old” (which, *eyeroll* she’s only 27, but) and totally uninterested in romance, and have her be visited by the Chinese equivalent of a Cupid who tosses her into an ancient world to find her destined mate. What happens? Hijinks! And yet there’s so much more substance to it too. You laugh, you cry, you’re mentally disturbed, the author really puts you through the wringer in this book. It’s got mystery, is a bit of a psychological thriller – different worlds and settings, there’s so much! Continue reading

The Wang Family’s child bride Su Wan is a lucky koi.
After her parents passed away, Fan ChangYu faced a string of hardships—her childhood sweetheart broke off their engagement, greedy relatives wanted to seize her inheritance, and with a sickly five-year-old sister to care for, she decided to take a matrilocal husband in name only.
Song ChuZhao, who grew up in the border area and is unrivalled in her skills, exchanged “souls” with Gu FengJian, who lived in seclusion due to an injury in his childhood. Since then, the weak scholar Gu Wulang can ride a horse and draw a bow, and the unrestrained Song Sanniang can debate with scholars. Gu Fengjian was thinking about how to deal with it when he heard something knocking on the window pane from outside. The sound was very light and varied in pitch. It must be a stone. He walked out of the door silently, turned to the side, and sure enough, he saw the person who had been muttering just now on the high wall not far away. The two of them, one tall and one short, looked at each other from a distance, and showed extremely complicated expressions at the face that was extremely familiar to each other. Song Chuzhao’s voice trembled, and he tentatively asked: “Gu…Gu Wulang?” Gu Fengjian nodded quickly. Song Chuzhao was obviously relieved and adjusted [her] posture to make himself more stable. Gu Fengjian: “…” In his life, he never thought that his face would appear in a place like the top of the wall. – Translated from the original book page 
She is the legitimate daughter of the Dou family who lost her mother at a young age. Her status is noble, yet she is like a floating duckweed in the wind, with a pitiable fate. Her past karma remains unfinished, and in this lifetime, she returns to the bustling world, leaving behind the past of the mortal realm, seeking only a peaceful and enduring life like a gentle stream flowing endlessly. But unexpectedly, fate plays tricks, the more she tries to escape, the more she becomes entangled in the mortal world.
