Night Scholar: What Do I Do If My Boss Is a Huge Ghost?

This story was inspired by my beloved oppa, Lee Soo Hyuk. He's truly a treasure! If you enjoy my writing, please follow him on Weibo!

This story will not be abandoned! Absolutely not! I love Lee Soo Hyuk, I was heartbroken by the White-Haired Ghost's ending in The Scholar Who Walks the Night, and Lee Soo Hyuk was the reason I made it through the whole series, so I absolutely won't abandon this story!

This story is a little silly [guess just how silly from the cover]

Shocking!!! The most handsome vampire in all eight provinces of Joseon is becoming sillier by the day!!!

[Ghostie: Ever since I met you, I've been falling apart (getting stupider) by the day...]

Author Xiaobai: Honestly, I think I can still sort of keep this character on track...

[Xiaoxiao: There's an old Chinese saying: near vermilion, one turns red; near ink, one turns black...]

Author Xiaobai: There's another old saying, too... Birds of a feather flock together...

The loving banter between all the characters (including our big-name guest stars)

Ghostie: Could you stop calling me "Ghostie"...

Xiaoxiao: Oh, you don't like it~ Do you want me to call you "dear dead man" instead~

Ghostie: I...

Xiaoxiao: You dear dead man~

[Author Xiaobai: Ughhh, I can't watch this! If you can't stand it, hit me with a landmine!!!]

Lee Yoon: Do I really have to let Ghost control everything? (heartbroken)

Xiaoxiao: (smitten) Oppa!! Your high notes are beyond his bass voice's reach!!!

Lee Yoon: ... (Why is she more intimidating than Ghost?)

Xiaoxiao (heart pounding) (Oppa! Changmin oppa!! Saranghaeyo!!!)

[Bai Xiaoxiao: Once you enter the Cassiopeia fandom, it's deeper than the sea...]

Xiaoxiao: Say, Seol-ah, can you stop thinking about our dear dead man twenty-four hours a day?

Kim Sungyeol: Calling me "Your Excellency" won't help. I'm going to get rid of Ghost no matter what.

Xiaoxiao: Little Xianxian! Come sleep with unnie tonight! No, wait, this month!!!

Kim Sungyeol: ... No wonder you're Ghost's woman. You're ruthless.

Xiaoxiao: Xian'er~ (in a thick Northeastern accent)

Yang Xian: What is it?

Xiaoxiao: Let's sleep together tonight~

Yang Xian: Sure.

Kim Sungyeol: You promised you wouldn't steal Yang Xian away!!!

Hyeryung: There really is nothing between me and His Excellency.

Xiaoxiao: Being with you makes me feel like I've been handed Ellie's script.

Xiaoxiao: Um... could I... could I tell you something~

Lu Heyong (?? . ??): Go ahead...

Xiaoxiao: Could you... could you...

Lu Heyong (?? . ??)(?? . ??): Could I what...

Xiaoxiao: Bro, shave your beard. It makes you look way too old.

Lu Heyong: (?_?)

[Author Xiaobai: Tell me I'm not the only one who got a nosebleed when Heyong turned into a vampire and became so handsome!!!]

Do Minjun□□: Ghost is no threat to me. (That's how cool I am~)

Xiaoxiao: Ghostie! Don't chicken out!! Kiss him already!! You can win!!!

Do Minjun□□: ...

Ghostie: ...

[Do Minjun: It must have been hard, putting up with her all these years.

Ghost: I'm used to it...]

Kim Shin: Are you really not my bride?

Xiaoxiao: Ajusshi, being able to see the sword doesn't mean you're my bride, and not being able to see it doesn't mean you're not.

Kim Shin: But the deity said the one who can see it is my bride.

Xiaoxiao: If that's the case, Granny Samshin could be your bride, too. The deity could be your bride, too, since they can all see it.

Kim Shin: ...

[Silly daily life, part one]

At the entrance to the underground palace, a woman clings to Ghost's long leg, sobbing and wiping her nose on his clothes. "No, oppa, we're not leaving!" Ghost: "Let go!" "No! What do I do?!" Ghost's long leg tenses, 3, 2, 1, riiip... Goal! Goal! I must have opened this scene the wrong way... Let's try again: the heroine flies! The heroine flies! She flies! Flies! ...! The woman looks at the pants in her hands. Her fingernail seems to have caught some skin... Ghost's thigh feels a little cold and sore... The heroine feels a little cold inside... Given that the heroine pulled off Ghost's pants and scratched him with a sharp object, calculate how many times the heroine will die.

[Fangirl daily life, part two]

Ghost: Why is your pen name Cassiopeia? Does it have something to do with Lee Yoon again?

Xiaoxiao (guiltily): How could it? Of course it's to commemorate that meteor shower in Cassiopeia we watched together, oppa! Really!

But when Ghost and Chacha fall into the water at the same time...

Xiaoxiao (paddling frantically): Oppa! Oppa!

Ghost: I'm over here...

Xiaoxiao: Oppa! Oppa! Don't be scared! I'll save you!

Ghost (a little touched): I'll wait.

Xiaoxiao [shoving Ghost aside]: Oppa! Changmin! Are you okay? [worried] Um... do you need mouth-to-mouth? [blushing] I can do it...

Lee Yoon: Forget it... (Looks fearfully at Ghost, silently signaling: Do something about her...)

Ghost: ??(◣д◢)????(◣д◢)????(◣д◢)????(◣д◢)?? [Divorce!]

[Bai Xiaoxiao: I'll protect my oppa!]

A fated meeting, heaven's madness,

When the truth is finally laid bare...

May you still be there when I turn around, never having left...

Will you forget me?
