What if you were on a maybe-date with a homeless guy, and you invite him back to your place (a shack) and then he draws an extremely flattering picture of you. Then you decide to go to a murder mystery dinner party together to continue the date. And then your date got crashed by your cousins, who are weirdly hostile to this guy. And then the guy insisted on calling you cutesie nicknames while your cousins try to guilt trip him into drinking potions. And the whole time you're dealing with being cursed by the heavens and also your packrat instinct to grab every nice bit of trash you see.
You are Xie Lian
