A metaphysics expert transmigrates into a book and becomes a fake young master. At eighteen, he marries a rich man to bring him good luck, only to accidentally bring about his husband's death. Now this young, sexy, gorgeous widower inherits his dead husband's trillion-yuan fortune.
In Sang Yu's head: "Daddy's loaded and died young. I can swap sports cars and mansions whenever I want, pick any handsome male model I like, and party all night long."
Jing Zhan has a good family, good looks, and a good brain. The only problem is that his birth chart is pure yin, his health is frail, and he's supposedly no good in bed. He's been haunted by ghosts all his life. Even the idol he adopted as his godfather was swept away by a flood, and then a car accident left him in a vegetative state. They say he could survive like that for fifty years, a true medical miracle.
On their wedding night, Sang Yu gazes lovingly at her comatose husband. "Honey, I'm your lawfully wedded wife. I love you with all my heart. Even if you die, we'll be cremated in the same furnace!"
Jing Zhan opens his eyes. "Who are you?"
He is pretty handsome.
Sang Yu: "..."
Wait, why are you awake? Weren't you supposed to be in a coma?
She looks again at Jing Zhan's body lying on the bed, then at Jing Zhan's ghost standing on the floor.
Jing Zhan: "...Will you still be cremated in the same furnace as me?"
Sang Yu: "..."
Not a chance.
The good news: This young, gorgeous, sexy widower has inherited her dead husband's trillion-yuan fortune.
The bad news: Her dead husband is still following her around!
The idol godfather swept away by the flood is finally doing his part! If they can earn enough good karma together, her dead husband might come back to life!
A fortune-teller driving a Maybach appears on the street.
Have fortune-tellers gotten this rich nowadays?
People soon notice that this metaphysics master acts strangely, often chatting with the air, arguing with it, and even acting coy.
Jing Zhan is a pure yin calamity physique, one rarely seen in eight hundred years. A thousand-year-old female ghost, corpses cultivated in an ancient tomb, a century-old evil spirit, vengeful ghosts in an old mansion... All kinds of evil entities swarm to him, lining up to be taken down and help him meet his performance targets.
With lightning-struck wood in hand, Sang Yu burns talismans at will and exorcises ghosts live, earning good karma.
The couple work their way to the top of the Underworld's good-karma rankings, and their metaphysical fame explodes overnight! Power players from politics and business scramble to visit, throwing money at them.
Sang Yu wants to do less work and earn more, like a crooked businesswoman, but Jing Zhan catches her and sets her straight.
When Sang Yu talks a little too long with a handsome guy, Jing Zhan gets jealous and forbids her from smiling so sweetly at anyone else.
Rumors say that fake young master Sang Yu is an uneducated troublemaker with countless haters who never even attended a proper university.
Then one day, he gets into a top-tier 985 university.
Reporter: "How did you manage that?"
Sang Yu: "I'm a genius!"
Genius, my foot! An old man pinned him to the bed and forced him to study!
She thought she'd marry a half-dead rich man, lie flat, and retire. Instead, she married a husband who isn't quite dead and is a controlling, old-fashioned tyrant.
Aside from being rich, handsome, and impressively well-endowed and skilled in bed, he's nothing but flaws!
Sang Yu comes out leaning against the wall. "Damn... Where did the rumor that he was no good come from?"
Still, it feels amazing!
Even when Jing Zhan is away for a while, Sang Yu can text him: "Daddy, make a mold of your shape for me, so I can fit it inside my body."
Jing Zhan: "Are you all so wild, you post-2000 kids?"
"Old Jing, you're no spring chicken. Don't you feel guilty being with an eighteen-year-old wife?"
"My wife's figure is graceful, and she's so young!"
The couple earn so much good karma that they don't just return to life. Their godfather waves his hand and gets them both official jobs in the Underworld, then ascends them to immortality...
One day, paparazzi follow them as they head out.
"Sang Yu, is this your new flame?"
"This is my dead husband."
"Isn't your husband dead?"
Jing Zhan: "You've been telling everyone I'm dead?"
Sang Yu: "..."
Jing Zhan tells the media, "Sorry, I'm not quite dead yet."
Gossip media: #Shocking! Heir to the Jing Group 'Returns from the Dead'!#
The truth about the fake and real young masters and the marriage switch comes out. Sang Yu's adoptive parents try to swap their biological son back to Jing Zhan's side.
In front of a crowd, Jing Zhan catches Sang Yu skipping class to play games at an internet cafe and drags him home. "I control the Jing family's finances. My wife, Sang Yu, is the head of this household."
