Shi Jin had liked Chen Yu for a very, very long time. After following him to and from school for three weeks, she finally worked up the courage to talk to him during study hall.

"You spent fifteen minutes on this problem... and still got it wrong."

The tip of her index finger peeked out from a pale pink cotton sleeve and poked at the drawing paper, glowing like white jade.

Chen Yu looked up. The girl in front of him had flushed cheeks and a faint sheen of sweat on her nose, but her eyes were especially bright.

"I can come up with four correct ways to solve it in three minutes!" She blinked, pressed her lips together, and said, "No, five."

Chen Yu: "..."

What's your deal?

Shi Jin was a bit of a ditz. Even though she liked someone, she didn't dare show it openly. Like a little turtle, whenever Chen Yu passed by, she'd try really hard to stick her head out, then wait for him to pat her. But Chen Yu never noticed her and never patted her head. So Shi Jin could only stretch her neck a little farther and take the initiative to rub against his hand.

[The Reaper blurb]

The Reaper has worked in the underworld for three hundred years. He sees ghosts every day, but still can't get over his fear of them!

Other reapers capture souls with ease. When he does it, he brings out all eighteen martial arts, plus thirty-six sets of magical tools!

The souls he catches usually end up bleeding from every orifice or with their guts hanging out, so his user feedback is terrible!

That's why, after three hundred years, he still hasn't been promoted or gotten a raise. He's so broke he rattles, and now he can't even afford magical tools.

You could say this underworld civil servant has had an absolutely miserable career.

Then one day, while out capturing a soul, he meets a female CEO who can see ghosts...

The CEO corners him and forces a confession.

The Reaper: "I'm not into older women!"

The CEO: "You've been alive for over three hundred years, and I'm only twenty-eight. You're telling me I'm the older one?"

The Reaper: "Then... I'm not into dating my own great-granddaughter."

The CEO slaps a stack of ghost money on the ground. "Do you still want to buy those soul-catching tools or not?"

The Reaper: "..."

And so begins a love between a human and a ghost that moves heaven and earth!
