[A chatty, warmhearted, empathetic female ghost VS a world-weary, gloomy, miserable, unlucky boy]
[They dote on each other + modern setting with imaginative twists + sweet romance, both pure and faithful + System (not a traditional System; its origin will be explained later). Also, the male lead really does become a villain later on, but he’s only ruthless to those who hurt the female lead.]
Back when Meng Yao was a ghost, she talked so much that even the System found her annoying. Her endless chatter finally brought her a worthy opponent: the gloomy young antagonist who was the target of her redemption mission.
To come back to life, she racks her brains every day trying to get the antagonist to talk. But he’s as tight-lipped as a corked bottle and refuses to respond no matter what. When he gets fed up, all he ever says is, “Get lost!”
Later, after learning about the boy’s troubles, she becomes a righteous ghost and helps him get justice. As they spend time together, little by little, the world-weary boy finally opens his heart to her.
The Jiang Yan of the beginning: “Get lost! Stay away from me!”
The Jiang Yan of later: “Yaoyao~ Can’t you?”
She raises him like a child, caring for and comforting him. But Jiang Yan quietly falls for her, wanting only to beg the ghost to stay with him a little longer, to remain by his side forever.
Then disaster strikes. Meng Yao’s soul begins to fade, and the System rebuilds her and sends her back to the human world in a human body.
This time, she still dutifully carries out her mission, but the antagonist tracks her down by scent.
The gloomy boy from back then has transformed into one of Yuncheng’s rising elite. To outsiders, he’s a genius and a business legend, but also the most cold-blooded and ruthless man around. He keeps women at arm’s length.
Until one day, everyone sees the once aloof CEO walk into the office holding hands with a young woman. His employees are astonished: “The iron tree has finally bloomed!”
