Pretending to Be the Male Lead's Older Sister

Blurb to be decided.

A cheerful, optimistic, talkative female ghost x a gloomy, taciturn male lead with the underdog-to-triumphant hero script

It's the story of a female ghost who pretends to be the male lead's older sister, heals him after he is put down throughout his youth, and is then doted on by him after she comes back to life.

Lu Shiyi died at seventeen.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself a wandering spirit, floating above a highway in a torrential downpour.

A black car screeched to a stop. Its door flew open, and a boy was roughly shoved out, falling into the muddy water. The car sped away, spraying water in its wake.

The boy's cheek was swollen, and he was soaked through. Without a word, he got up and staggered forward.

So miserable... even more miserable than this ghost.

As Lu Shiyi was thinking this, a sobbing voice sounded in her mind. "Host, if you help him turn his life around, you can exchange your points for a chance to come back to life... Please, I'm begging you, boohoo..."

Lu Shiyi: "There's a deal like that?"

That night, Pei Yanzhou was delirious with fever.

In a daze, he grabbed a hand, cool and soft, gently resting against his forehead.

"Mom..." he murmured unconsciously.

A clear female voice rang in his ear. "That's right, I'm your mom. Be a good boy and listen to Mom. Study hard and keep improving every day."

"...?"

He suddenly opened his eyes.

A half-transparent girl was floating by his bedside, smiling at him awkwardly. "Um... actually, I'm your older sister. I couldn't be reborn after I died, so I gradually grew up."

She couldn't pull off being his mom, so she had to pretend to be his older sister instead. Lu Shiyi thought she was unbelievably clever.

Pei Yanzhou was haunted by a girl ghost who claimed to be his older sister.

At first, he found her annoying.

The female ghost floated beside him, ordering him around. Even worse, nobody else could see her. Whenever he ignored her, she would turn red-eyed and say, "I'm your sister! An older sister is like a mother! Of course I worry about you. I couldn't be reborn sooner because I couldn't bear to leave you."

"Boohoo, Mom, I'm so sorry..."

If he dared to talk back, even for a moment, she'd get teary-eyed and cry, "Do you hate your sister now? Boohoo, then I'll just leave... Mom, look down from heaven and see what an unfilial son you have..."

"..."

But somewhere along the way, he began to feel grateful that he could see her.

Then he was soon disappointed again: he could only touch her during the hour of the rat.

After completing the male lead's mission, Lu Shiyi successfully came back to life, but ten years had passed.

The boy from back then had become President Pei, a major force in the business world.

After ten years, she didn't know if he still remembered her. After much hesitation, she dialed his number.

The phone rang for a long time, so long that she thought no one would answer.

Just as she was about to hang up, she heard a faint breath on the other end.

"Hello, Pei Yanzhou? It's Lu Shiyi. Do you remember me?" she asked cautiously. "Something happened at home. Could you help me? Sorry to contact you about this..."

"Address."

Just two words, cold as if spoken by a stranger.

Lu Shiyi's heart ached. The boy who used to blush whenever she teased him was gone.
