A cold, world-weary genius exorcist top × a scheming, powerful evil ghost bottom
When Jiang Yusui was sixteen, he found a down-and-out boy his own age. The boy was like a beautiful, quiet puppet.
Taking the boy’s hand, he said gently, “I’m the one who brought you home, so your life belongs to me.”
But one day, the boy disappeared…
While hunting ghosts on the outskirts of the city, Jiang Yusui encounters an S-rank evil ghost because the person in charge carelessly recorded its rank incorrectly.
Just as he thinks he’s about to die, someone saves him.
That person… No! That ghost! He crushes the S-rank evil ghost’s head with his bare hands!
Afterward, he flicks the blood off his hands in disgust. Then, meeting Jiang Yusui’s shocked gaze, he says mockingly, “A member of the Jiang family? How are you so weak?”
Jiang Yusui’s mouth twitches. He glances at the identity badge at his waist: Jiang Yusui, five-star exorcist.
The ghost tells him his name is Lu Chengzhou. Jiang Yusui thanks Lu Chengzhou and gives him a jade pendant, telling him to come find him if he ever needs help.
Just as Jiang Yusui is about to leave, Lu Chengzhou stops him and hands back the pendant. “I’m using this favor now. Take me with you. I’m coming back to the Jiang family with you!”
After that, Jiang Yusui puts Lu Chengzhou inside a little gourd, threads a cord through it, and wears it around his wrist.
He rubs the little gourd, the corners of his mouth lifting ever so slightly. Whatever he finds belongs to him!
Reading guide: 1. This story mainly focuses on the top’s perspective, most likely. 2. A slow burn with four settings: a secret room, a ghost market, a haunted house, and an ancestral hall. The early story focuses more on the plot, while the romance takes center stage later, with the plot serving the romance.
It's good, not bad. The writing is immature and sometimes I can't understand it, but overall it's very good and everyone helps each other very well. [Sending my heart to you]
