Jiang Yuchen is a die-hard materialist and tech geek who has devoted his life to code and logic. That is, until he finds a real, bona fide ghost during a paranormal livestream.
The ghost is named Lu Shisheng. He’s cool and beautiful, like delicate porcelain that could shatter at a touch, but he’s also an old-fashioned relic who’s been cut off from the world for nearly a century.
Jiang Yuchen is the only living person in the world who can see him.
And so Jiang Yuchen is forced to start “living together” with a ghost.
Lu Shisheng remains among the living to collect three tears: a foe’s, a family member’s, and a lover’s.
To help him pass on, Jiang Yuchen puts his hacking skills to work and teams up with this “human-shaped cheat code” to solve one long-buried campus cold case after another.
From ghostly figures in the library to infant spirits in the art studio; from shocking scandals in academia to crimes buried by a family…
They’re the perfect partners, and each other’s only support.
Jiang Yuchen never expected that a journey meant to help Lu Shisheng pass on would end with him falling in love.
And even less did he expect that their meeting wasn’t a coincidence,
but a century-late act of gratitude spanning species and cycles of rebirth…
