I'm About to Die, Can't You Just Let Me Have This?

[1v1, two male leads, lighthearted with a hint of the supernatural] [An unconventional, scheming seme x an unconventional, sharp-tongued uke]

Lin Yingmian died.

Right after dying, he transmigrated. The fearless little menace who talked back to everyone and resorted to violence at the drop of a hat became a pitiful soul whose parents didn't care for him, whose older siblings didn't love him, whose younger brother picked fights with him every day, and who was fated to die young.

What do you do when, just after dying, you learn that you'll die again in a few years?

Lin Yingmian, who had just been turned into minced meat: *smiles*

It's fine. He only has to wait to die. He's used to it by now.

But being used to it doesn't mean Lin Yingmian would become a meek little victim, swallowing his grievances and obeying relatives he hadn't seen in twenty-two years. That was less likely than the sun exploding tomorrow.

His blind parents, double-standard older siblings, and brainless younger brother could all get lost. They'd better not get in the way of him catching ghosts and earning merit.

Unfortunately, his first attempt went badly. He was caught by a strange man while climbing over a wall and unceremoniously taken in for questioning.

The strange man was tall and long-legged, with handsome features and an aura of purple qi.

Most importantly, he also looked like he was going to die young.

After clearing up the misunderstanding and learning that Lin Yingmian had climbed over his own courtyard wall, the strange man offered a sincere apology.

Lin Yingmian: No need to apologize. How about we find a chance to die together?

Strange man: ...?

In his twenty-five years, Qin Shaoan had only ever messed up once: he mistook Lin Yingmian for a thief and took him to the police station.

After clearing up the misunderstanding, Qin Shaoan apologized sincerely and said that he would compensate Lin Yingmian for anything he wanted, as long as it was within the law.

But then, completely out of the blue, he heard the young man invite him to team up and die together.

Qin Shaoan: ...

Who invites someone to die together the first time they meet?

Three months later

Qin Shaoan: I agree! I agree!

No one is taking away his chance to die together with Lin Yingmian!
