[Both leads are each other's one and only + romance across reincarnations + a long-laid plan + clingy male lead + secretly reborn]
After the Book of Life and Death goes missing, a powerful figure from the Underworld is "forced to possess" a body tainted by evil spirits. He opens a funeral-supply shop in the human world and becomes an undertaker for the dead.
When one spirit after another comes to him, the first crack in a conspiracy begins to show.
Born without a heart, she cannot see colors. Yet in one person's presence, she sees the first splash of color in her life.
The first time they meet, she wants to kill him.
The second time, she thinks he's acting strangely.
The third time, she snaps at him.
By the Nth meeting, he's holding her and pulling her close.
Like an onion, he lets her peel away his layers one by one...
Until one morning, she says with a faint smile, "Brother Qi, you've been hiding quite a lot!"
Leng Qitian picks up a piece of sausage and asks with a straight face, "How much?"
"How should I know?"
"After breakfast, A Liang can measure it."
Wenren Liangxia's face darkens. She kicks the man under the table and grits her teeth. "Can you get all that dirty stuff out of your head?"
Leng Qitian doesn't so much as blink. "You said I've been hiding a lot, A Liang. I thought about it, and I've been upfront with you from the start. I haven't kept anything from you. Then I thought about it some more. You only took a quick look that night. It could actually be a little... deeper."
"It's all yours, A Liang. You can get to know it first."
Wenren Liangxia: "..."
Later, she discovers that she may have been hiding even more than he was.
Leng Qitian: So what if she's been hiding a lot? He knows everything, and he's been involved in every single thing.
After learning the truth, Wenren Liangxia kicks him out of bed.
