Full synopsis:
The seventeenth year of the Republic, Jinling.
Eighteen-year-old student Shen Nianci was born with Yin-Yang Eyes and can see ghosts and monsters, but she has to pretend to be blind just to get through life. During the Qingming Festival, her stepmother sends her to burn paper offerings for her birth mother at a mass grave. There, she accidentally digs a warm, black jade pendant out of the soil before a grave. The instant it touches her, the sinister wind stops and the chill fades. She has no idea that by picking it up, she has brought home a Ghost King who has slept for three thousand years.
Mo Wushang was once the commander of a hundred thousand ghost soldiers. Now, all that remains of him is a wisp of his soul. The pendant is the ghost core he needs to rebuild his body, but by a twist of fate, his destiny becomes bound to Shen Nianci’s. Determined to reclaim the pendant, this high-and-mighty Ghost King forcibly moves into a side room of the Shen family home, beginning a life of “sharing a room” with the timid girl.
