Su Huaijin oversees criminal cases and solves mysteries that cross the boundary between life and death. One day, he is forcibly bound to the Underworld’s [Bone-Burning Pact System].
The System’s rules are icy and merciless: You and the Ghost King Xiao Jin are bound to share life and death. Every increase in affection shortens your life by three months; every time your heart stirs, your soul cracks a little more. Stay away from him if you want to live.
Everyone fears Xiao Jin, calling him a blood-soaked fiend who slaughtered an entire household, his resentment blotting out the sky, a demon who would kill even the gods.
But only Su Huaijin knows that this Ghost King, wrapped in boundless malice, will use his bone-white hands to shield him from every evil spirit on rainy nights when ghosts roam the earth. When Su Huaijin’s life is nearly over, he will even tear his own ghostly essence from himself to grant him another half-moment in the human world.
The world wants Xiao Jin’s soul obliterated. Only Su Huaijin wants to give him a taste of ordinary human warmth.
The System’s warnings repeat: Affection has reached its critical point. Host’s lifespan is about to run out.
Su Huaijin strokes the Ghost King’s icy cheek and asks softly, “I’ll wager my whole life in exchange for a century-old longing finally coming true. Will you accept?”
Xiao Jin lowers his eyes. Madness and despair churn beneath their century-frozen depths.
He has been trapped in the deepest hell for a hundred years. He no longer deserves the light.
But his little official insists on carrying a lantern, walking step by step into his abyss.
*Separated by life and death, a love too deep for long life
*Wicked Ghost King × cool-headed investigator, agonizing tension, everyone gets hurt
*Forced System bond, falling in love means death, anguish for body and soul
This is the first time I read a story about two male protagonists. I just finished reading the latest chapter. The cold case judge Moreover, this rule of "one point of love increases, one will lose three months of life" is too cruel. The more you abuse me, the more I will be beaten. Who knows the kind of two-way rush to give the other person's life? And it's very suitable for a book-listening person like me! The author also updates steadily! ! ! The bookshelf has been welded shut, and I'm updating it every day! Come on!
The setting of the forced binding system is very shocking, the cold case-solving officer × the extremely evil ghost king, and the fateful knife of falling in love and losing one's life spans throughout the text. Everyone in the world is afraid of the King of Ghosts, but only the protagonist is willing to run into his abyss with a light, and the pulling and sadistic atmosphere are in place.
