[Both leads are chaste · A clueless, funny big shot vs. a scheming, lovesick, gloomy male ghost · A flamboyant guy changes his form for love + arch-enemies become lovers + mutual descent into madness]
Question: What do you do when you discover you've been reborn alongside your arch-enemy of eight hundred years?
Ning Wu: Obviously, strike while he's down and finish him off!
But can someone explain...
Why is the gloomy male ghost who used to crawl around in the shadows now reclining seductively on her bed, a frail, celibate beauty with a sickly constitution?
And why is he gazing at her so innocently? "...My lady, why are you holding a knife? Have I done something wrong?"
Ning Wu: ?
She later learned that after she detonated her soul and died alongside the traitor in her previous life, it was her arch-enemy, Xie Hang, who gave up all his cultivation to protect a remnant of her soul.
Ning Wu could no longer stay calm!
She grabbed a club, marched right up to him, and pointed at him. "Speak! Are you trying to use your favor to get something from me? What are you plotting?"
Xie Hang was suffering in silence.
He'd been following his beloved for ages, fanning his peacock feathers until his backside was nearly cramping.
But after learning that he'd saved her, this utterly clueless woman had actually made her first move by demanding to know if he had ulterior motives...
He smiled and decided to put it plainly, with all the passion he could muster:
"My lady, I've wanted you for eight hundred years. Even when we clashed at first, I was already deeply in love with you and just wanted to get your attention."
Ning Wu fell silent for three seconds, then her expression suddenly cracked.
"You monster! Take this!"
...Damn it, he'd definitely been possessed!
