    ①💖✨The female lead transmigrates into a book as a villainous supporting character. A lie about faking a pregnancy leads to a tragedy.❤️The male lead is the original villain, cruel but pure-hearted. He seems to improve step by step along with the female lead. He's incredibly love-obsessed and has no moral compass because no one taught him.✉️It's so good, I couldn't help but recommend it.💕Everyone, come and follow the updates with me! I can't be the only one waiting for the next chapter.

    This male lead is definitely a creepy, gloomy ghost! After meeting the female lead, he spends all his time secretly watching her, except during class. He's as sinister as a mushroom. But the writing is incredibly enjoyable; the male lead is like a little puppy, both wildly crazy and incredibly obedient. Everyone should read this!

    Qiao Jinyue just wanted to get as far away from the bed as possible to avoid being tormented by that semi-transparent ghost. She didn't know how she had been haunted. She only knew that a month ago she suddenly received news of the death of a junior high school classmate. Because it was summer vacation, she was at her hometown and, having nothing else to do, went to the funeral. She didn't remember much about this classmate named Sheng An. She only remembered that he was very tall, at least 1.9 Meters, and because of illness, he had always been skin and bones during his school years, a long, thin, ghostly figure that was very frightening. He always sat alone in the back row of the classroom, had a gloomy and eccentric personality, didn't like making friends, and only liked reading all kinds of books. His grades seemed to be pretty good. Qiao Jinyue remembered that he was always in the top three of the grade. But as for his appearance and voice, it had been too many years, and Qiao Jinyue really couldn't remember them. Only three junior high school classmates went to the funeral that day: one was a pushover like Sheng An, disliked in class, and the other two were Qiao Jinyue and the friend who went with her. Qiao Jinyue suspected that she had bumped into something she shouldn't have that day. Ever since this male ghost started haunting her, he would come over every night to share a bed with her, wanting to hug and kiss her, and he liked to touch her hair, shoulders, hands, and feet. Qiao Jinyue was terrified countless times, which greatly displeased her roommates. She considered moving out, but the school was cracking down on students living off-campus this semester. She wanted to find someone to help her get rid of the ghost, but after three attempts, she only found scammers. If it were just a scam involving money, that would be fine. But one person even wanted to scam her body!
