The Little Cat Can't Escape the Ghost King’s Clutches

[Original title: Sleeping in the Same Coffin as the Impermanence. My completed historical BL novel, The Lazy Demon Lord Saves People Online, is available on my profile. Plenty to read, so stop by and take a look! (Shamelessly promoting it.)]

[Pre-order: Who Are You Looking At? Visit my profile. The blurb is at the bottom. Please add it to your reading list~]

Xie Shengcai, the White Impermanence, spent his life as a carefree womanizer. A thousand years ago, he led on a handsome young man he fancied. After he died and became an impermanence, he put all his old romances behind him.

That is, until the Underworld introduced performance reviews. Ranked dead last and turned into a cat before being exiled to the mortal realm, he was furious, so he sought out Bai Xun, the demon hunter ranked first.

How could one mortal have caught more ghosts than everyone in the Underworld combined? Something fishy was going on!

He sneaked into Bai Xun's room at night. The more he looked, the more familiar Bai Xun seemed, and the more he thought he resembled that guy he'd led on all those years ago...

Xie Shengcai had a bad feeling. He looked up and met a smiling face full of murderous intent.

"I thought Lord Impermanence had long forgotten who I was."

"Run away once more, and I'll scatter your soul to the winds."

Xie Shengcai: Help, there's a pervert! QvQ

Bai Xun is a late-night radio host with a deep, sexy voice and an inexplicably ethereal air. He's handsome, fit, and kind, and has captured the hearts of countless young women.

His profile says something wonderfully romantic, too: Waiting for my sweetheart.

Unfortunately, he seems a little off. He keeps seriously insisting that ghost hunting is his actual job and hosting a show is just a side gig.

His fans think he's joking and playing a character, but they don't know that there are always two columns of viewers in his livestream: one white, for the living, and one red, for the dead.

He's the first demon hunter in the world to vanquish demons and exorcise ghosts with his voice.

His fans all thought he would remain single forever, until one year, on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, when the Gates of Hell opened. Bai Xun turned on his camera, smiling brightly with a handsome face, then held up a cat named Ao Bai for the viewers and said softly, "Come on, meet your sister-in-law."

Fans: ?????

An irresponsible bonus scene:

Xie Shengcai: I heard you can't hide it when you like someone. Even if you don't say it, it'll show in other ways...

Bai Xun: That's right. Look at how I raise you from the dead every day.

Xie Shengcai: ...Damn.

A hedonistic receiver, an Ao Bai cat who worries every day that someone will cut off his balls x a moody, unpredictable zombie demon-hunter top who gets forced to raise the dead every day.

A sweet little story about everyday cat-petting, ghost hunting, and exorcisms. Soft and slightly sweet, a treat to ease your hangover and cleanse your palate~

P.S.

1. There probably won't be much of the Underworld. It's mainly immortals, monsters, and demons in the mortal world.

2. Firmly one-on-one. My own take on supernatural creatures, with a lot of made-up details.

3. If you don't like it, please don't hurt me QvQ

4. Xiao Xie's breed is a Linqing lionhead cat! Super cute!

Pre-order blurb:

Who Are You Looking At?

Qi Duo has lost his memory.

Fortunately, what he lost were just some unimportant memories.

He scrapes by and fights to survive, working his way from a barren planet to the world of fame and fortune. He takes any job and does whatever it takes for money, becoming the best-regarded beta con artist in the area.

And Sang Jiu, the notorious top interstellar merchant, is the target of his next job.

Sang Jiu is ruthless and coldhearted. Qi Duo knows it from the moment they meet.

But things don't go the way he expects.

Sang Jiu has eyes for him.

Whenever Sang Jiu looks at him, there is always a hazy glimmer in his eyes.

Qi Duo can't help falling for him.

He gives him his body and his love, even giving him his heart.

Only after his business is raided and he is imprisoned does he learn that Sang Jiu's ambiguous affection, which led him to believe there was something between them, all came from Qi Duo's resemblance to Qi Duo, once the empire's greatest marshal.

Thirty years ago, Qi Duo, the empire's only S-class alpha, defected during a battle. He was disgraced, and the entire interstellar network condemned him.

In the end, he died in a starship explosion, leaving no body behind. The whole empire considered him a traitor.

Qi Duo was Sang Jiu's unattainable love.

Qi Duo was Qi Duo's substitute.

Sang Jiu said himself that Qi Duo was the empire's infamous traitor, a despicable opportunist and a sinner who deserved to go to hell, but he was also a desire Sang Jiu couldn't drive away after waking from a midnight dream.

He had waited thirty years for that sinner, enduring a pain that burned to the bone.

Thirty years, Qi Duo thought. How devoted. How ironic.

He cut off all ties to the job and dumped Sang Jiu.

Until his lost memories returned.

He was Qi Duo, and he was Qi Duo. He was once Sang Jiu's guardian, and he was the one who had led Sang Jiu down this path of corruption.

"I will always be loyal to you, my faith."

"Until the stars stop shining... until my heart stops beating."

"But you don't want me anymore."

#WhoAreYouLookingAtThroughMyEyes?

A gloomy, cold, mad-dog top x an elegant, many-faced (fake) substitute receiver

P.S.

1. One-on-one. A heart-wrenching fake-substitute story. Qi Duo and Qi Duo are the same person; in the story, their names are pronounced differently.

2. Younger top, receiver is the top's faith.

3. Lots of coercive scenes. Both leads are beautiful and miserable. My own sci-fi ABO setting, with plenty of original details.

4. Both are alphas, with a fake ABO dynamic.

Theme: As long as you keep going, you'll succeed one day.
