The Cross-Dressing, Unhinged Villain Is Winning Me Over

[Cheerful chuunibyou ordinary girl x A sinister male ghost pretending to be gentle and virtuous]

Le Qiu discovered that she had transmigrated into a world of ghosts and strange tales.

The absurd part was that, despite having no special talents, she had ended up following a Daoist priest around exorcising ghosts.

Ming Shu, a proud and upright exorcist who was secretly a prince, was arrogant, looked down on everyone, and was extremely hard to please.

Fortunately, she made a "best friend": Jiang Yebai.

"She" was a great cook, spoke gently, and was beautiful, too.

It was just those pitch-black eyes and the viciousness with which "she" struck that always made Le Qiu feel uneasy.

Only after they somehow got together did she realize that "she" was actually a male ghost dressed as a woman.

Jiang Yebai was the eldest legitimate son of a prominent family two hundred years ago. After his death, he became a vengeful ghost.

To seize the Scarlet Ying Pearl, he had to disguise himself as a woman and get close to the Daoist priest who possessed pure yang blood.

After several attempts at seduction, he discovered that the priest had given his heart to the foolish young attendant by his side: Le Qiu.

Heh, Jiang Yebai thought, I'll just trick someone even more foolish.

So, with a few fabricated stories about saving her life, he easily persuaded her to use the priest's feelings for her to obtain the Scarlet Ying Pearl for him.

At first, it was deception, exploitation, and feigned tenderness.

But later, he thought: Once this is all over, there's no harm in keeping up the act with this little fool for a few more years.

After obtaining the Scarlet Ying Pearl and learning the truth, Le Qiu only wanted to get away from Jiang Yebai as quickly as possible.

She had thought Jiang Yebai would leave on his own, but things did not go as she hoped.

Jiang Yebai gripped Le Qiu's hand tightly.

Everyone says people's hearts are fickle. Why don't we get married first?
