The Tree Spirit Among Humans

A tree that had lived in the mountains for tens of thousands of years accidentally possessed a human body. The human was named Cheng Shushu. He was male, and had died by suicide because of a psychological illness. His body and soul were gone, and the old tree, whose own body was missing a part, took on Cheng Shushu's face and lived out his human life in the world of men. Everything else was fine. He caught ghosts, searched for his own tree body, and occasionally fought the Ghost King. After all, he'd lived for so many years, and he'd always won every fight. The only thing he couldn't quite handle was a certain "good friend" of the deceased... This good friend was very clingy, and very formidable. Of course, he treated Cheng Shushu extremely well. He was a rare kind of "friend." CP: Cui Yun x Cheng Shushu Cui Yun: a gong who looks like he's always crying, but is actually incredibly powerful. Cheng Shushu: a dumbass tree demon shou. Updates: Around 7:30 p.m. on update days. I have always followed the principle of "if you love him, torment him" when building my worlds. So this story and pretty much everything else I write follows that same formula. To anyone who clicks on them, please decide for yourself whether they're for you. If you don't like them, please don't insult me. Also, the characters in this story represent only themselves, not the author's views. For example, the protagonist's ability to catch ghosts is simply a trait chosen for the character and to serve the plot. Please don't believe in superstition either; this isn't real. This story is entirely fictional. Any resemblance to actual people or events is purely coincidental. Thank you for reading. Coming soon: Scumbag Gong Seeks a Kiss (Weak Gong, Strong Shou) In a way, Cheng Anning is a scumbag. At twenty-one, he agreed to Bai Yuan's proposal so he could enjoy a comfortable life, and they married in secret. At the time, Bai Yuan had been in the entertainment industry for three years and was hailed as the most promising young star. At twenty-four, in pursuit of freedom and a good time, Cheng Anning took half of Bai Yuan's fortune, which he had earned as a seemingly ordinary actor but was actually a major investor in the business world, and divorced him. At the time, Bai Yuan had just become a top actor in the country. At twenty-eight, after four years of living it up, Cheng Anning noticed a little red bean on his collarbone. He panicked a little and decided to get back together with Bai Yuan. Here's why: his mother had once told him that their family had a disease. At twenty-four, those afflicted would grow a red bean on their collarbone. If they received a kiss of true love within the next twelve months, the bean would disappear; if not, it would bloom into a flower, and whoever bloomed was done for. One in a thousand people developed the red bean late, after turning twenty-four. Cheng Anning had never imagined that he could make it past twenty-four, only to fail to escape it this time. What was he supposed to do? Find Bai Yuan, who had once loved him deeply. Weak gong, strong shou. Gong POV. Theme: It's all good. I originally wanted to write a sweet story.
