I've Got This Charming Beauty Covered

In the tenth year of Emperor Wei Ying's reign, pirates roamed the seas. Officials and merchants alike hired maritime gangs to escort their ships and safeguard their cargo and crews.

*

After his family was destroyed twice and he barely escaped with his life, Pei Yuli joined the Tian Kun Gang.

A beauty who couldn't hurt a fly and was "more alluring than any woman," he prepared to use his looks to get close to people, all for the chance to take revenge.

But...

From the moment he boarded the ship, he became someone's exclusive property. No one else was allowed to touch him, or even look at him.

The big shot wants to protect him, so he'd better hold on tight. Time to flirt!

Pei Yuli had endured a rough life, and his heart had long since turned to stone, but he was a master at charming people.

Sincere or not, he did everything he could to coax them into a world of tenderness.

Later...

He pretended to be a pure, innocent little rabbit, and the big shot saw right through him but didn't call him out.

He schemed, killed, and hurt people, and the big shot stood by with a blade, blindly taking his side.

He spouted lies with no sincerity at all (well, maybe a little), and the big shot...

Finally unable to take it anymore, he grabbed Pei Yuli around the waist and pulled him close, asking in a deeply intimidating voice, "Don't you have something to explain?"

Peck!

Pei Yuli leaned in and gave him a fleeting kiss. "Explain what?"

Kou Yi: "...You..."

Peck!

Kou Yi: "..." Damn it!

Qin Jiuqin was an utterly ordinary night watchman who'd seen so many ghosts he was numb to them. He even ended up becoming roommates with a bunch of spirits.

Spirits who linger in the world of the living are usually:

Wrongfully killed in life, consumed by resentment, or victims of a truly tragic death...

In short, they're a handful...

The rouge ghost ran off to fight with her rival again, the emperor ghost got bored and dragged people into a transmigration adventure, the starving ghost stole someone's chicken and left ghost money behind, claiming he'd paid for it, and the hanged ghost went around scaring people with his tongue dangling out...

Qin Jiuqin covered his face tightly. "If you go out, don't leave my address behind. Thanks!"

The more he thought about it, the more he liked the well-behaved little ghost.

He didn't cause trouble or make a fuss. He followed Qin Jiuqin around, sweetly calling him "big brother," serving him tea and water, rubbing his back, and doing every task without complaint.

He was the underworld's little angel, a cozy hot-water bottle in the realm of the dead.

But who would have thought...

This kid really would do... absolutely anything?!

Qin Jiuqin gripped the edge of the bed and desperately tried to scoot backward, staring at the person leaning over him in utter horror.

No, no, no! You're freezing cold! You'll freeze me to death!

Chu Yan paused. "Big brother, do you want me to stay farther away?"

Qin Jiuqin stammered, "Uh... not exactly... It's so hot in summer, a little cool air... wouldn't be so bad... Mm..."

Warm lips covered his, and Qin Jiuqin could actually feel the little ghost's... body heat??

And that chest of his was so broad now, enough to hold Qin Jiuqin firmly against him...

His breathing grew labored, his head spun, and the corners of his eyes turned red. He fumed inwardly:

You little brat, you were playing me?!!!

Mount Wujin imprisoned the world's evil ghosts. Its lord was called the Evil Yama. Rumor had it he was bloodthirsty and slaughtered ghosts by the thousands. When Yama flew into a rage, ten thousand ghosts wept.

At the Netherworld's Far Shore, Chu Yan picked a bright red flower. Amid the wailing of ten thousand ghosts, he frowned and fretted to himself:

Big brother's angry. Can one little flower... make him happy?
