Gentle, possessive, wealthy top × money-loving bottom who's perfectly calm as long as money isn't involved
An Shu was an orphan so broke he could barely scrape by, ground down by life until he was barely hanging on.
His greatest love in life was money, and his biggest dream was to strike it rich.
At last, one day, An Shu's tacky dream was about to come true.
A man on a heavyweight motorcycle came out of nowhere, kicking up clouds of dust as he appeared before him.
The man first gallantly fixed An Shu's dirty hair, then warmly explained what he did.
His name was Zhao Tingyun. He was a grim reaper, tasked with helping the King of Hell capture evil spirits wandering the human world.
Recently, the King of Hell had decided his work was too inefficient, so he assigned him a partner in the human world. That partner was none other than...
the small, skinny young man standing in front of him, An Shu.
An Shu listened nervously to the whole story, but he only cared about one thing.
"Does ghost-catching pay?"
"Heh." The man smiled tenderly. "If you don't want to do it, I suppose I'll just have to take you to meet the King of Hell right now."
Before he had even finished speaking, An Shu was already clambering onto the gleaming black motorcycle, urging him on with a straight face.
"Sir, are we leaving now?"
"Oh, right. Could I ask what kind of ghost I'd be to the King of Hell? A poor ghost?"
Zhao Tingyun: "..."
-
A few months later.
An Shu had earned a lucrative side income from catching ghosts.
But as he watched the balance in his account keep growing, he couldn't bring himself to feel happy.
He had a new problem.
An Shu realized his partner was always getting handsy with him.
The kind of handsy that involved grabbing his butt!
An Shu wasn't about to let someone take advantage of him for free.
At last, the right moment came. They were both in the mood, and An Shu's eyes were glazed over from all the touching, but he still remembered to negotiate.
He subtly let Zhao Tingyun know that if he wanted to keep kissing him, that would cost extra.
Without missing a beat, Zhao Tingyun pulled An Shu's hands above his head and kissed the young man's soft lips twice as a trial run. Quite satisfied, he asked,
"Sweetheart, from now on, can I buy all your kisses at a premium?"
Just as expected, An Shu nodded firmly, his voice ringing out with conviction.
"Deal!"
-
Ghost-catching wasn't easy, but the two of them worked together with surprising ease, repeatedly risking their lives side by side.
Just as Zhao Tingyun was about to ask An Shu to start a real relationship with him...
An Shu turned pale with shock. Without a moment's hesitation, he raised his hand and slapped Zhao Tingyun, scolding him:
"Don't tell me you're planning to stop paying me when you want to do it with me from now on!"
"Free rides are shameful!"
One-on-one, both each other's only partner, happy ending
Theme: Love can fill the emptiness in the heart.
