The Beauty's Revenge

Shen Lingyuan was walking down the street when a pot fell from the sky and cracked his head open. From then on, he became a lone vengeful ghost, determined to slaughter every last person who had betrayed or framed him. But his first target turned out to be someone skilled at catching ghosts... At first, Shen Lingyuan was captured. All he could do was glare red-eyed at Shen Yanqing and say, "I hate you." Later, Shen Lingyuan stood in front of Shen Yanqing with a sword in hand, his face expressionless. "You're the only one who gets to take my life." - Shen Yanqing, eldest son of the Marquis of Changxing, is beautiful, frail, and often ill. A dose of medicine every three days, acupuncture every five. And yet this very man took the title of marquis despite the infamy attached to his name, drawing the pursuit of countless enemies. Still, several corpses are carried out of the marquis's estate every day, while the beautiful young marquis remains as immaculate and haughty as ever. Everyone sighs that he is wicked and adept at disguising himself, and that no mere assassination can bring him down. Until one night, when a servant seemed to see Shen Lingyuan's ghost haunting the estate. "Come on, Zihui. Don't let your hand shake. Stab me here." The man leaned against the bed in the bedroom. With one hand, he held Shen Lingyuan by the wrist where he gripped the knife; with the other, he pulled open his collar, revealing his pale neck.
