The Disabled Tycoon's Substitute Wife in the Republic of China Era

A sweet, episodic supernatural romance set in an alternate Republican-era China

A gentle, wheelchair-using, silk-touching older top x a reborn bottom who pretends to be pitiful but is actually a young master

An Yilang spent eighteen impoverished years in this life. He had been a fool and begged for food. At long last, he started doing business with his older cousin, only to be knocked out with a cup of wine and sent to the bed of Young Master Qi, the richest man in Yunchuan.

There was only one reason: An Yilang looked exactly like the young master's fiancee, who had been dead for more than a decade.

Young Master Qi truly did miss his late wife deeply. Just because An Yilang had that face, he gave him a place in a mansion of carved towers and jade halls, fed him delicacies from land and sea, and, most importantly, did not even make him warm the bed!

An Yilang thought it over. Where else in the world could he find such a good deal?

He was only going to be a substitute lover, wasn't he? He would not only take the job, he would do it conscientiously and make sure the other man got more than his money's worth!

Unfortunately, the good times did not last. Before long, he started encountering ghosts...

Everyone in Yunchuan knew that the impossibly noble master of the Qi family was a devoted man. He turned away all the noble young ladies and gentle beauties who came his way, spending year after year with only his deceased "wife's" memorial tablet for company.

Then, one day, shocking news burst out from the rear courtyard of the Qi residence:

- There's someone in the young master's room!

- The young master has fallen for the bewitching creature who was sent to him!

- The young master is throwing around a fortune to marry the creature!

Qi Mojun would always remember that day. His boy had finally crossed the mountain wilderness of Mogu Pass, crossed the streets and lanes of Yunchuan, and crossed the seven years that had slipped by, returning to his side at last-

1. Age-gap warning: before being reborn, the top was eight years older than the bottom; after being reborn, he was fifteen years older. In both timelines, the bottom was already an adult when they fell in love.

2. The top did not find a substitute. He knew the bottom had been reborn; the bottom simply did not know it himself.

3. This is an alternate Republican-era setting. Please don't scrutinize the historical details.

A sweet, episodic romance of folk customs and the supernatural

A tall, taciturn, possessive loyal hound of a ferocious beast top x a worldly, resourceful young master bottom who knows how to tame beasts

Qi Ci was a young master known to everyone in Yunchuan City. He spent his days with a tall, taciturn servant, frequenting all the most extravagant venues, and was the dream lover of countless men and women.

Yet at eighteen, he became the sacrifice offered by his family. Tortured by a sinister secret art, he walked in despair toward death.

At the very moment his soul was about to be extinguished, the only one who came for him was the servant he had picked up as a child. The servant transformed into a ferocious, savage giant beast, came through blood and fire, and knelt in rapt devotion to kiss his fingertips, bringing him back to the world of the living.

Like wandering souls, they roam through strange cases scattered across the years: a vicious corpse trapped in a black coffin in an abandoned village, paper effigies of children that steal people's lives... They investigate scattered secrets of folk customs, seeking the answer hidden behind it all.

"My master, I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life, crossing a century of time to uncover every conspiracy and mystery."

"And you will belong to me for all eternity, in flesh and soul alike."
