The Idle-Fish Celestial Master's Ghost King Roommate

★ Historical danmei pre-release, I Slept Beside the Immortal Venerable: please add it to your favorites~ A supernatural incident took place at Nanyuan Residential Complex. The Special Operations Department caught a suspect on a nearby security camera. The footage showed a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a neatly tailored suit, scholarly and refined. Liang Qiubai narrowed his eyes at the man on the screen. "I know him. He lives at my place right now." Officer: "?" Liang Qiubai: "Ahem, he's my roommate..." * Lin Buzhu, thirty years old, a corporate drone who graduated from medical school. A month ago, by chance, Liang Qiubai took pity on him and gave him a room. His roommate was handsome and kind-hearted. Apart from that mouth of his, Liang Qiubai was quite satisfied with him. That was until countless ghosts ran rampant outside Fengdu City. Watching the people from the Special Operations Department flee in disarray, Liang Qiubai finally realized that his roommate, who was approaching slowly through the thick fog with a black umbrella in hand, was the king of Fengdu City. * The founding patriarch of the Buluo Mountain lineage was named Liang Qiubai. Hundreds of years ago, chaos ran rampant in Fengdu City, leaving countless dead and wounded. With his own power, Liang Qiubai sealed and imprisoned Yin Xu, the Ghost King of Fengdu, causing the ghost city to fall completely. No one knew that from that night onward, Liang Qiubai had been afflicted with an illness: every night, he was unable to sleep. In his dreams, he could always hear strange murmurs coming from all around him, clamoring and chaotic, as if they would drag him into the abyss. The voices only vanished completely when someone else moved into his home. What Liang Qiubai didn't know was... Every night, when the ghosts scattered, one person's shadow clung to him in the darkness, like a maggot to a bone, following him everywhere.

Historical danmei pre-release, I Slept Beside the Immortal Venerable: please add it to your favorites~ The demon of the Canglang Domain, Ji Wuwang, died. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the body of a top-grade cultivation furnace: a man with little spiritual power and nothing but his beauty. For years, the immortal and demon realms had fought over him, coming to blows time and again. Ji Wuwang's vision went black. But that wasn't even the worst part. The worst part was... To prevent matters from escalating, the two realms came to an agreement and sent him to the Sijiang Prison, which had always remained neutral, to await judgment. And the person in charge of the prison was his old nemesis, Shen Guzhou. Ji Wuwang: "...Is it too late to go reincarnate now?" Ever since he began cultivating the merciless way, Shen Guzhou had been cold, aloof, and abstinent, with no affection for anyone. Ji Wuwang watched his nemesis start undressing right in front of him and looked horrified. "Wait, wait, wait! We can talk this out. Don't take that off. Take off one more thing and I'll call for help!" Shen Guzhou: "..." * Later, while the two realms were still arguing endlessly over who had the right to claim the cultivation furnace, Ji Wuwang took advantage of the chaos to reclaim control of the Canglang Domain. At the time, nobody believed that the stunning beauty standing on Zhaolu Terrace in black robes, with ink-dark hair, could be the infamous demon of years past. Ji Wuwang: "Come on, let's see who still dares try to marry me off!" Everyone: "..." Wait, wasn't he in Sijiang Prison before?! Could anyone really escape Shen Guzhou's grasp? Only then did they recall the day, many years ago, when the demon had been surrounded and hunted down on Tianzhu Peak. A figure in white, someone who had never entered the world, had carried the demon's corpse away from under their noses with a crimson sword in hand. No one knew that in the gloomy, shadowy underground palace, Shen Guzhou sat beside that cold corpse every day, his posture intimate and his expression tender. "It's been ten years." "You should wake up now." Theme: Finding yourself in the face of adversity
