After the Sickly Beauty Was Haunted by a Male Ghost Dragon-Aroon Hero

Sheng Xueci was born with an aloof, aristocratic air, but had a nasty personality, looked down on everyone, and was especially good at manipulating people's hearts.

Until one day, he discovered that he was the villainous true young master in a novel. He would use every means to target the fake young master, earning the hatred of everyone around him.

His biological parents, his older brother, his betrothed, and everyone else in their circle would all take the fake young master's side.

The supposedly pitiful Sheng Xueci raised an eyebrow. "You really think I'll let myself get bullied like that?"

The System he was bound to declared confidently: [Of course!]

It thought Sheng Xueci would be afraid, rein in his nature, and live quietly. It never expected him to act even more outrageously and slip further out of its control.

The beautiful, pale young man displayed an aggression utterly at odds with his frail appearance, cold and aloof.

At first, the plot unfolded exactly as it had in the original novel. Then, at some point, everything gradually began to change.

His parents, who had found him again after losing him, cherished him above all else. His usually cold and strict heir of an older brother was gentle and patient only with him. Those arrogant people who thought the world of themselves became obsessed with him.

As if he had been born to receive attention and affection.

But Sheng Xueci had never seemed to expect anything, and didn't care about any of it.

No matter how unwilling or jealous they were, he would never look their way.

Compared to the original plot, Sheng Xueci was more concerned about something else.

For some inexplicable reason, he'd acquired a dead husband.

The man was Pei Huaijin, the fake young master's biological older brother, who had died several years earlier. He was also the original protagonist.

In the eyes of everyone else, Pei Huaijin had always enjoyed a smooth and successful life, following the story of a poor boy who rose to become a top powerbroker.

Faced with this bizarre situation, Sheng Xueci chose to watch his dead husband with a cool expression.

But Pei Huaijin treated him very well, practically catering to his every whim.

Even when Sheng Xueci deliberately toyed with the fake young master who acted like a sweet-talking schemer and the pretentious rich heirs, Pei Huaijin would only pour him a drink so he could throw it at them.

Aside from constantly staring at him at night, having a shadow that changed shape beneath him, and apparently keeping tentacles hidden in his sleeves, Pei Huaijin seemed basically normal.

Sheng Xueci quickly adapted to and accepted this dead husband of his.

The only thing he wasn't happy about was... Pei Huaijin was far too insatiable in bed.

But never mind. Sheng Xueci thought it was pretty good this way. Pei Huaijin was exactly his type, and he was very obedient.

Besides, with all those abnormal behaviors, Pei Huaijin probably wouldn't be able to put up with anyone else.

Only the two of them could be entangled with each other until death.

"My beloved should be a free bird in flight, not trapped in a cage built from jewels."

A two-faced, mad monster who only listens to his wife × an ill beauty with a nasty personality

A few warnings before you read:

* 1v1, both virgins and each other's first love. The bottom has a very nasty personality and treats side characters like dogs for fun, with no intimate contact.

* The top is an obsessive stalker with maxed-out possessiveness, and he's a lovesick fool who only listens to his wife.

* At first, the two are on completely different wavelengths. The top thinks he's forcing the bottom to submit, while from the bottom's perspective, it's all just fun. A twisted romance with mutual devotion!

* Everyone except the top and a few other characters gets a groveling arc.
