Yu Qiao transmigrates into a book as the fake young master of a wealthy family. The moment he arrives, he is humiliated and thrown out.
In the original story, he later resorts to every means to frame the real young master, loses the family fortune and ends up buried in debt, and finally freezes to death on a snowy night.
Yu Qiao wants to live a few more years, so he decides to drag his suitcase out to the countryside and rely on his birth parents for support.
When they meet in the suburbs, the couple smile at him eagerly. The woman's long hair hangs down like seaweed, and every so often she nervously fiddles with it.
They seem stunned to see him. Weeping, they grab him from either side and hug him so tightly that Yu Qiao can barely breathe.
His parents pat him on the shoulder. "Don't panic, son! Your mom and dad actually got you a whole building in this big city!"
Yu Qiao's eyes widen. "A whole building! Could I secretly be a rich second-generation kid?!"
He excitedly takes the subway to check it out. When he arrives, he finds a bizarre building rising up before him, surrounded by an eerie, ghostly atmosphere. Nearby stands a warning sign: "Danger! No entry!"
The most famous Chinese haunted house in urban legends.
Yu Qiao's heart sinks halfway.
When he gets home, his parents ask if he likes the place.
Yu Qiao: "It's all right. At least there won't be any neighbor disputes."
To his surprise, his parents wave their hands grandly. "As long as you like it! Just tell Mom and Dad what you want! We'll take care of everything!"
Yu Qiao: "Really? Actually, I've wanted to beat up my unscrupulous boss for a long time..."
His parents thump their chests and assure him they can definitely handle it, then offer to introduce him to a great match as well!
Yu Qiao is utterly stunned.
-
His unscrupulous boss is yelling at someone in the meeting room. "Yu Qiao, pack your things and get out right now!"
As the curses surround him from every direction, Yu Qiao sighs, thinking that his parents were only joking and he actually took them seriously...
Suddenly, a deafening clap of thunder booms across the sky.
As if ghosts have invaded, the office lights flicker. Then, with a bang, the power trips, and faint, sharp laughter fills the air.
The sudden haunting terrifies the unscrupulous boss so badly that he scrambles under the desk in a panic. He has none of the swagger he had when he was scolding Yu Qiao just moments ago.
A crowd of ghosts jostle together, chattering as they ask where the young master is.
Squeezed flat, Yu Qiao struggles to stick out a hand and meekly asks, "Could someone give me a hand? If it's inconvenient, never mind..."
"!!!"
The ghosts quickly scoop him up with all their hands and feet, and in the chaos, kick the unscrupulous boss in the butt several times.
Once he recovers, Yu Qiao remembers his parents saying they would introduce him to a great match. Could it be some strange-looking ghost too?!
"What are you being stupid for?" A man dressed in black and vermilion robes leans against the wall, a long sword with intricate patterns cradled in his arms. His eyes are full of impatience. "Are you going to do it, or should I finish him off?"
Yu Qiao: "!!!"
-
The real young master, Liang Sui, hears that Yu Qiao has been living miserably ever since he was kicked out, and puts on a show of concern by deciding to pay him a visit.
The address is out in the countryside. Liang Sui and his lackeys huff and puff their way there, changing from the subway to a coach, from the coach to a tricycle, and from the tricycle to a tractor. It takes them half the day to finally reach an eerily sinister villa in the suburbs. Even in the height of summer, they can feel a chill in the air.
Liang Sui is so jealous he twists with envy. "Damn, how can he be richer than my family? Is the entire yard running central air conditioning in the middle of summer?!"
Unwilling to show any fear, the group straighten their backs and head inside. The front gate opens by itself, so it must be automatic.
The wind chimes jingle, so they must be motion-sensor doorbells.
The mop moves by itself, so it must be some high-tech gadget...
When they reach the entrance, Liang Sui works up the nerve to call out, but then feels someone pat him on the shoulder. He whirls around and sees...
Nobody behind him.
Liang Sui: "Aaaaaah!!!"
He stumbles forward a few steps, trips, and promptly blacks out.
When Yu Qiao comes out, he sees three people sprawled all over the ground. He pokes them with a twig and says earnestly,
"Good afternoon. No sleeping here~"
