[A sharp-tongued, scheming, short-tempered and eccentric female ghost X a cautious, sincere young man who occasionally has a smart mouth]
Xie Yi's first twenty-four years had gone fairly smoothly. Born into a distinguished family and blessed with Yin-Yang Eyes from birth, he wasn't afraid of ghosts at all.

Those words pierced a hole right through his heart.
Heaven had taken pity on him. After twenty-four years, his long-untouched heart had finally been stirred...
