As the heir to a modern society, Luo Liaotang transmigrates and somehow becomes half-human, half-ghost. What a nightmare! Worse still, she has a priceless treasure of the Ghost Realm inside her: the Ghost □□. She spends every day on tenterhooks, hunted by both humans and ghosts, and now she might even have her soul scattered!
Luo Liaotang decides she’s done lying flat and sets off in search of the Ghost Tower’s key.
Xue Yutang is just as miserable as she is. His entire clan is gone, and he’s the only one left, with a broken leg to boot. What? The key is on Xue Yutang? If she can’t keep him alive, they’re both done for! To save herself, Luo Liaotang forms a soul pact with Xue Yutang. The result is that they keep unconsciously gravitating toward each other...
Xue Yutang dares to run away, only to be dragged into a domain by a Nightmare Ghost. Let’s find him and break both his legs. Oh, Xue Yutang’s leg is already broken? Then we’ll turn him into a puppet.
In the domain, Luo Liaotang discovers that this isn’t a dream after all. It may well be something she experienced before... And the System doesn’t seem to be a System, either.
Later, when Xue Yutang gouges out his own eyes so she can enter the Ghost Tower at the final moment, she finally realizes that his love for her has surpassed her hatred.
Extra Scene:
As soon as Luo Liaotang emerges from the Ghost Tower, she follows their soul pact to find Xue Yutang. He is dressed in wedding robes, his jade-white skin flickering in the light of swaying red candles. His lips are tinted with rouge, and a ribbon covers his eyes, making him look all the more sacred and untouchable.
Luo Liaotang says darkly, “Young Master Xue, what a wonderful surprise. I’m not dead yet, so who are you planning to marry?”
Xue Yutang freezes. A tear of blood slips from the corner of his eye.
The one who belongs in his life has returned.
Core theme: No matter how difficult things become, never give up hope for life.
