Why Is My Boyfriend Stone-C Cold?

Song Huaijin is a college student whose only remarkable quality is his good looks.

Timid and soft-hearted, he does urban supernatural livestreams with a team in his spare time for extra cash. He's the one who screams the loudest.

But lately, Song Huaijin has found himself in serious trouble.

A thousand-year-old vengeful ghost has set its sights on him.

In a dilapidated, deserted women's restroom, the red-clad ghost who was supposed to be the target of their mission has already been pinned beneath another ghost's foot.

The man's face is pale, his lips crimson, and his long black hair trails to the ground. Tilting his head, he gives Song Huaijin a kindly smile:

"I heard you can see everything that happens in the hour before someone dies. Tell me, how did I die?"

Unfortunately, the truth lies beyond that one-hour window.

The man refuses to give up. Knowing that the more supernatural cases Song Huaijin handles, the stronger his ability becomes, he forces him to keep racking up results.

A school restroom where a corpse suddenly appears, a terrifying midnight movie that eats people, a museum where murders keep happening, an ocean liner trapped in an endless loop, an orphanage whose population is rapidly dwindling, a deadly bus that appears at midnight...

The designated mood-setter becomes the fearless first to charge into danger.

Song Huaijin can only sob his heart out while throwing punches under the vengeful ghost's watchful eye.

As luck would have it, he's born with monstrous strength and a rare Pure Yang physique. The harder he cries, the harder he hits.

What's more, Mr. Vengeful Ghost has a bad temper and feeds on negative emotions. The more terrified and desperate Song Huaijin becomes, the happier and more satisfied the ghost is.

Waaah, he should've just killed me the first time we met!

But at some point, Song Huaijin realizes that Mr. Vengeful Ghost has started acting differently.

He puts up with Song Huaijin dressing him up, complaining the whole time.

He keeps protecting him, even when his words say otherwise.

He gets jealous when Song Huaijin gets close to other people.

He secretly devours Song Huaijin's affectionate feelings, then pins him tipsily against a wall and kisses him in a daze.

And Song Huaijin himself...

Seems to be gradually losing the ability to imagine what life would be like without the man.

Song Huaijin knows very well that once a ghost's greatest wish is fulfilled, it will disappear completely, no matter how powerful it is.

At last, the day the truth comes to light arrives.

The man pretends to be relaxed as he waits for Song Huaijin to tell him how he died. But he never expects the timid human to suddenly point a knife at his own eyes.

"Even if I can never see again, I don't want to lose you."

"Even for my sake," the young man says with a soft sob, his eyes red, looking like a small, wronged white rabbit.

"Stay. Please?"
