After dying years ago and losing his memory, my childhood friend suddenly confessed to me and said he'd fallen for me at first sight. How should I respond? Back then, Zhu Gui didn't know. Even after regaining his memories, Zhu Gui still doesn't know.
Cui Yi isn't sure when he started liking Zhu Gui, but he thinks that the moment Zhu Gui died saving him, the love he'd buried deep inside for years had nowhere left to go. It turned into an equally intense, unforgettable hatred.
Four years later, Cui Yi, now a star employee at the underworld company for those who died with unfinished business, meets the amnesiac Zhu Gui again. This time, he decides to pursue the person he'd once secretly loved, then decisively walk away and dump him once he wins him over, making Zhu Gui feel the pain he once felt. But on this brief yet passionate road to winning him over, even Cui Yi can't say how much of his affection is sincere and how much is an act.
Who could have guessed that just a few months later, before he'd even won Zhu Gui over, Zhu Gui would regain his memories? No longer able to pursue him with an easy heart, Cui Yi sinks into pain and indecision once again, only to discover that the man who'd always rejected his confessions, both directly and indirectly, seems to be treating him differently... Perhaps there were signs of all this many years ago.
When will the dead be as the living? Why should deep love mean a short life?
Zhu Gui x Cui Yi, rational and cold (maybe?) gong x gloomy (maybe?) stubborn shou. 1v1, a little angst, guaranteed happy ending.
