[The first part of the blurb has been removed.]

Lin Qingsa is a cheerful, outgoing middle school Chinese teacher who gets along well with her students. She lives with Bai Chuanhao, the school's PE teacher, and often helped him during his year-long probationary period, teasing and flirting with him, too.

On the night they celebrated his becoming a full-time employee, Bai Chuanhao gathered his courage and confessed to Lin Qingsa.

Lin Qingsa: "Sure. Let's give it a try."

Bai Chuanhao never expected his confession to work! But after his excitement wore off, he began to feel that something was a little strange about their relationship...?

Lin Qingsa could openly say "I love you" and teasingly ask things like, "Are you asking me out?" But when Bai Chuanhao hugged or kissed her, her body would go stiff. She seemed at a loss, even inclined to avoid him.

"Stop leading me on and running away."

One day, unable to stand Lin Qingsa's latest flirt-and-flee act, Bai Chuanhao pinned her to the sofa. This time, he wouldn't settle for a "brief peck"; he was going to kiss her deeply and assertively.

"Did I make you angry?"

Lin Qingsa suddenly spoke. Her voice was calm, and there was none of her usual joking cheer in her expression.

Bai Chuanhao froze. Lin Qingsa soon smiled, but throughout the kiss, her muscles stayed tense. When it was over, the tips of her ears were red, and she turned her face away on her own, as if shyly avoiding his gaze.

Bai Chuanhao gradually realized that Lin Qingsa wasn't as carefree as she seemed.

"Qingsa..." Bai Chuanhao raised a hand to her face and gently stroked her. "You've really never been kissed before, have you?"

Your kissing is awful.

Later, Bai Chuanhao finally learned about Lin Qingsa's past. He saw the trauma hidden behind her sunny smile and understood why she reacted that way to kisses, which were meant to express love.

One night, after they shared a bed, Lin Qingsa accidentally fell out of it in her sleep. Bai Chuanhao was so worried that he picked her up and carried her back to bed, repeatedly asking, "Does it hurt?" Lin Qingsa seemed unable to feel pain. She simply said, "It doesn't hurt," and closed her eyes, ready to go back to sleep.

The bedroom fell quiet, but the light was still on. Lin Qingsa felt Bai Chuanhao's fingers touch her waist.

She opened her eyes slightly and peered at him through a narrow gap. He looked a little sad, his eyes full of pity. He lowered his head and gently kissed the bruise on Lin Qingsa's waist, as if he wanted to cover it with a kiss and make it disappear.

Lin Qingsa closed her eyes and tried to keep her breathing steady.

Her family thought she "shouldn't have been born." Whenever she got hurt or sick, they said it was "her own fault." She had never been treated gently.

After escaping that kind of "hell," she used her cheerful personality to protect herself. She thought she had left the shadows behind, but whenever someone tried to get to know her more deeply, she still couldn't control her fear and quickly took a step back.

In more than twenty years, Bai Chuanhao was the only person she couldn't bring herself to push away.

(Cold-faced, tsundere, immortal seme x underworld civil servant uke who plays the pig to eat the tiger)

Recently, two strange things happened in the underworld

First, the number of souls whose lifespans were not yet over but who "accidentally" or "deliberately" entered the underworld skyrocketed.

Second, the automatic soul-return System broke at just this moment.

The higher-ups assigned the grim task to underworld messenger Qian Liu: escort the "lost" souls all the way to the gateway between the two worlds and make sure they return safely to the human world.

Qian Liu had thought this kind of assignment was at least a hundred times safer than capturing evil spirits. That was, until he rushed to his target soul and the other man pulled out a pistol, pointing its cold muzzle at him. "I'm here to confess to someone."

The man's name was Qing Chuan. Qian Liu kindly offered to help him find the person he was looking for, only to hear him complain all the way about how backward and boring the underworld was. They ran into evil spirits and vengeful ghosts, and Qing Chuan even followed him through the dark forest and the underworld capital...

One chain subdued an evil spirit! ...The other chain kept Qing Chuan in tow. Qian Liu used his "hard" skills to finally get this man back to the human world. But some time later, when Qian Liu was sent to the human world on another assignment, he saw Qing Chuan again.

Qian Liu thought Qing Chuan couldn't see him, so he listened in on plenty of information without a care. Just as he was about to float away, Qing Chuan suddenly appeared beside his ear and whispered, "What are you doing here?"

After learning that Qing Chuan was an immortal being who never aged or died and whose injuries and illnesses healed on their own, and hearing the story of Qing Chuan and his lover from Qing Chuan's students, Qian Liu began to understand why he insisted on going to the underworld.

For mortals with limited lifespans, reaching the end of this life means they can reunite with their beloved. But how long must an immortal with an infinite lifespan keep going before he reaches the end?

Qian Liu's attitude toward Qing Chuan softened a little. Of course, it wasn't only because Qing Chuan was devoted to his lover, but also because...

Qian Liu: "This is so delicious! Is the food in the human world always this good??"

On a work trip to the human world, he could take human form at government expense! Then he could eat human food! He buried his head and devoured the meal Qing Chuan had cooked. When he happened to look up, he saw that Qing Chuan had been watching him the whole time, and his eyes seemed to be growing red...?!

Qian Liu: "What's wrong?" Am I eating too messily??

Qing Chuan covered his eyes with one hand. "It's nothing... I just thought of..."

He didn't finish.

A few minutes later, Qing Chuan's expression turned cold again. "I just thought the underworld should hurry up and hire a good chef to develop its food industry."

Qian Liu: "...Do you feel uncomfortable unless you get in one dig at the underworld?!"

So what if he was immortal? So what if he was a good cook? His devotion was meant for his lover! In short, he was still an annoying man!

Later, Qian Liu's colleagues whispered among themselves

"You need a lot of 'spirit' to communicate with the human world or stay there for a long time. Buying spirit costs a lot of underworld currency. Otherwise, you have to consume the lifespan of living human souls. I heard Qian Liu's work budget has run out, and the new request hasn't cleared the approval process. How has he been staying in the human world for so long?"

"Did he use his own underworld currency to buy spirit? Does he have that much money?"

"Could he have broken the rules and secretly consumed someone's lifespan? Does the underworld god in his family know? Whether you're an ordinary soul or an underworld messenger, secretly consuming someone's lifespan to stay in the human world will turn you into an evil spirit!"

"Or maybe someone was willing to let him consume theirs? If the soul is willing, it isn't forbidden."

"Living souls in the human world all want to live forever. Who'd willingly give up some of their lifespan?!"

Meanwhile, in a bed in the human world.

"It's too much... I can't take any more..."

Qian Liu's formerly translucent spirit body gradually became solid, and a faint flush spread across his pale skin. He trembled as he tried to get up, but Qing Chuan pulled him back into his arms. "Stay a little longer."

Bonus Scene:

Qian Liu took the form of a little bird while on an assignment in the human world and played a prank on Qing Chuan.

But just as his beak pecked Qing Chuan's face, his lack of practice made him turn back into his human spirit form.

Qian Liu: "..."

Qing Chuan: "..."

Qian Liu's lips quickly pulled away from Qing Chuan's face. Pretending nothing had happened, he greeted him, "Hi, hello." He forced a smile. "I'm back in the human world again."
