Down-on-his-luck young Taoist who picks through trash x elegant young master (a vengeful, unhinged ghost beneath the surface)
A down-on-his-luck yin-yang master takes jobs online: stitching up the corpse of a resentful tycoon! Possessing a corpse to return from the dead, revenge and crushing scoundrels, mutual salvation, and a twisted secret admirer still causing trouble after death! Earn merit to prolong your life? The underworld couples these days know how to have more fun than the living!
"This can't be..." Luo Qi drew in a sharp breath. A corpse opening its eyes was an omen of great misfortune.
Luo Qi immediately snatched up the bronze bell, shaking it as he recited a soul-calming incantation. But this time, the corpse did not obey as it usually did. Instead, it slowly turned its head to look deep into the woods.
Luo Qi followed its gaze and saw a faint blue light flickering among the trees. Was that... a soul-summoning lantern? Someone was calling a soul!
Shen Linyuan quietly watched the obedient profile of the young man before him, his eyes dark and unfathomable... His five senses were slowly fading, his soul growing weaker by the day, and he felt the end drawing near. With so little time left, and their parting already ordained, he must not recklessly draw close and leave behind bonds that would only make the one left behind lonely and heartsick with longing. Keeping his distance and leaving his feelings unspoken might be the only tenderness he could offer now.
The sea breeze drifted through the window, gently stirring their hair. Shen Linyuan looked outside at the softly rolling waves and the tender, lingering glow of the sunset. The days were peaceful and beautiful... Yes, Xiao Qi, I don't want you to fill our brief encounter with endless memories. Find someone who can stay by your side for a long time, forget this fleeting shadow, and live a peaceful, worry-free life, with safety year after year and joy each day. That would be the best ending...
