[Mutual healing + wild fantasy premise + shared pain + love and hate + age gap + happy ending]
A scheming, lovesick beauty x a ghost who lives for fun
-
Mu Tingting has been a ghost for 999 years. Just as she is about to celebrate her thousandth birthday, she is forced to save Song Beixi and gets dragged into the Song family's web of intrigue.
At first, she's forced to save him every time. Then, even though she hates pain more than anything, she takes a bullet for him.
To outsiders, Song Beixi, the sickly and restrained eldest son of the Song family, seems composed. To her, though, he's a lovesick madman who pins her against the wall and grips her by the throat, testing her again and again by hurting himself. He's crazy enough to carry her through a freezing night in the snow, then spend an entire day and night on horseback with her atop a snow-covered mountain...
Until...
When he learns she's been kidnapped and jumped from a rooftop to save herself, the usually calm and self-possessed man catches her with trembling hands, his eyes bloodshot and brimming with tears. “Mu Tingting, how dare you! How dare you!”
Their fates have long been bound together. They won't rest until one of them dies, and even death may not undo their bond...

When Song Beixi, the Song family's eldest son, who “believes in neither gods nor women,” keeps a “pretty ornament” by his side, even moving to a nearby city for her and spending lavishly every day in the livestream of this beauty who runs an antique shop, everyone thinks he's hopelessly captivated by her looks.
Everyone assumes he's about to give up his right to inherit the Song family fortune, but they soon realize that he holds his own in every power struggle. When he takes control of the Song family, people say his obsession with beauty was just a smokescreen. Yet overnight, he sells off more than half of the Song Group...
Who said he wasn't captivated by beauty?
