Yu Xici had been secretly in love with someone for years, but the other person saw him only as a close friend and warmly invited him to stay at his sect for a while.
Yu Xici swallowed his heartache and happily accepted. But the moment he arrived, he was greeted by a bloody massacre at the sect, and he became the prime suspect.
Yu Xici: ???
His beloved went out to find medicine to save a fellow disciple, and Yu Xici secretly followed. Halfway there, he accidentally stepped into an ancient tomb that had never been opened. By the time he had cultivated enough to escape, two hundred years had passed in the human world.
To clear his name and escape the label of "close friend," Yu Xici returned to the world of the living under the guise of a thousand-year-old ghost.
Pei Yi only understood his feelings after his beloved died. He devoted himself to finding his beloved's remains, unaware that the person he thought dead had already returned to his side under a new identity.
While exploring an ancient tomb, Pei Yi got entangled with the thousand-year-old ghost inside. The ghost was powerful, clingy, and impossible to shake off...
Pei Yi tried to reason with him. "Senior, shouldn't you go see your old home or visit some old friends?"
A certain thousand-year-old ghost, Yu Xici: "...No rush."
Pei Yi pleaded earnestly. "Senior, shouldn't you build up some forces of your own, in case someone takes advantage of your weakness and comes after you?"
A certain thousand-year-old ghost, Yu Xici, smacked away countless high-ranking cultivators who came to attack him. "...No need."
Later
Pei Yi raised his wine flask with unrestrained gusto. "I can never repay your great kindness, Senior. I..."
Yu Xici suddenly cut in. "With your body?"
Pei Yi sobered up halfway. "..." I treat you like an ancestor, and you want to sleep with me?
Later still
Pei Yi: ...Are we still doing it?
[At first glance, a fierce and volatile thousand-year-old ghost, but in reality a hopeless romantic who turns sweet when you say the right things x a gentle, chivalrous righteous cultivator who is secretly turning dark, and a widower]
#No wonder he looks like someone from the past. It's because that someone never died.#
The bottom is the powerhouse, and the top is the brains.
The top has 800 tricks up his sleeve; the two of them have 799 between them.
PS: Don't judge this fictional cultivation world by modern socialist values. The characters' morals all serve the plot. Good people can do evil, and bad people can do good. They're not set in stone.
1v1, happy ending

I have collected it on the Jinjiang website in my browser a long time ago but haven't read it. Today I remembered and searched for this book in the software and found that there are only dozens of collections. However, the author is still insisting on updating [Tan Shou]. The copywriting is quite attractive. Big boost, author. I'll come see you next time when I'm short on writing.
