[Two male leads + gloomy, possessive water ghost top x short-tempered straight-man bottom + past and present lives + gentle but forceful love + happy ending]
"You don't remember me? That's all right. Before you die, I'll make you remember every last detail."
At death's door, Ji Gui signed a contract with Pei Jiming, a fierce ghost in the water, and got a second chance at life.
Years later, the water ghost came to collect his debt, and Ji Gui finally learned that the contract he'd signed on a whim was actually a lifelong "deed of sale"!
"C-can I break the contract?" "Nope."
The agreement was in black and white, their souls bound together.
To save his own skin, Ji Gui was forced to join the "Paranormal Affairs Unit," which handled supernatural incidents.
He also gained a "health-conscious water ghost" roommate who managed every aspect of his life and forbade smoking and drinking. He was just like an overbearing father. Ji Gui gradually accepted him and thought they could make things work, but then...
Sleepwalking at midnight, paintings that dripped water, countless evil spirits causing trouble... Every strange incident pointed to a forgotten past, sealed away for a thousand years.
Why had Pei Jiming fixated on him in particular?
What secrets and madness lay beneath that silent devotion and obsessive need for control?
When Ji Gui finally reached the end of his dream and stood before the familiar waters that made his heart tremble, he saw tens of thousands of submerged coffins silently arranged beneath the dark abyss.
The water ghost behind him gently embraced him, finally dropping every mask and leaning close to whisper with a soft laugh:
"My beloved... You were always destined to return to my side."
He wasn't pretending anymore.
Congcong's books definitely deserve full stars. I followed her from "The Bones of Resentment." The descriptions are very detailed, the settings are novel, and they immediately make you want to read on. The characters are vividly portrayed. 🥰
It's so good! I've been following this book since I stopped reading it.
👀👀👀Cong really likes writing about ghost-type seme characters, but I like it too 😍
I came from Tingyu's book; every book by Cong is super enjoyable (and a bit funny, haha). They've never disappointed me! 😳😳
This novel is absolutely delicious! The male ghost is a ghost, but not quite a ghost. Also, I have to mention a line in the story: "With a virtuous wife at home, it's inconvenient to go out~" I'm dying of laughter! This male lead is so incredibly cute!! Xiao Pei, Mommy loves you (not a dream girl).
I came from Congcong's previous book. I really like the writing style of Congcong. The male ghost is so cool!
It's a really good read, the author's writing is exquisite, highly recommended! 🥰
It's beautiful, but I recommend watching it during the day.
Why is such a good book still under review? I can't write reviews for each chapter, and I can't send gifts.
Waaaaah, it's so good! Author, please update sometime! Waaaaah, I haven't eaten in ages! Waaaaah, I just finished reading this one, and it really hits my sweet spot! Waaaaah, author, you haven't updated in so long! I'm so hungry, time for food! Waaaaah!
