Sweet, innocent homebody office worker x gloomy male ghost starved of affection
Shang Mingzhu never imagined in her life that she would actually encounter a ghost. Every night, she dreamed of a male ghost embracing her from behind, calling her A Zhu over and over in her ear, begging for her compassion. He said she had made him suffer so much and pleaded with her to save him.
Then Shang Mingzhu returned to the Republic of China era and met the dashing Second Young Master Shen, a man in a wheelchair who couldn’t stop coughing and called her sister-in-law in a hoarse voice. Shang Mingzhu thought, So I really did cause this. Maybe he died of illness and is pinning it on me.
By day, Shang Mingzhu dutifully played her part, terrified someone would realize she didn’t belong to this era and have her drowned in a pond as a woman possessed by a demon. Yet Second Young Master Shen was always picking on her.
At night, Second Young Master Shen, Shen Huaibi, cornered her against the wall. His fingers toyed with the frog closures on her qipao, his gaze seductive, his voice soft and slow. “Sister-in-law, since you’re here, stay with me forever. Don’t even think about running away in this lifetime.”
Shang Mingzhu be like... Whoever wants to save this man can do it. I want to go home.
Loving you is no coincidence. In ten thousand years, there has only ever been you.
The moment I met you, every rule changed. You are my most precious treasure.
(I’m really not very good at writing blurbs, so please bear with me.)
Mutual first love, happy ending, a somewhat sweet story
