As the Jiang family's invisible adopted son, Jing Yu lived a life of obscurity, and was quietly buried beneath the heavy snow when he was eighteen.
No one would remember him.
Until the ninth year after his death, Jing Yu became a trapped, wandering ghost beside Jiang Jingchuan, his former brother in name only.
Jiang Jingchuan used to treat him coldly, with no warmth in his eyes, and even despised him for a time. Now, however, his room held Jing Yu's photograph, and his eyes were full of longing.
Jing Yu felt no joy, only absurdity.
He even thought Jiang Jingchuan was crazy.

When Jing Yu met Wei Shannian, he was hunting ghosts. Mr. Wei, terrifying to other ghosts, made Jing Yu's heart skip a beat.
Jing Yu blinked and rubbed his chin. For the first time, he realized he was something of a looks-focused person.
After finishing his mission, Wei Shannian didn't immediately attack Jing Yu. Instead, he held out his hand and said, "Hello, I'm Wei Shannian."
Jing Yu stared up at him blankly and instinctively placed his hand in Wei Shannian's palm.
Jing Yu discovered that the closer he got to Wei Shannian, the more he felt he could get away from Jiang Jingchuan.
So he made a bold decision: he ran off with Wei Shannian.
*
Day N since meeting Mr. Wei.
After going out with him, Jing Yu didn't want to move and clung to Wei Shannian, refusing to walk.
"Jing Yu."
A voice calling his name caught Jing Yu's attention.
Jiang Jingchuan had appeared from who knew where. The moment he saw Jing Yu, his hands trembled, his eyes full of disbelief.
Jing Yu merely glanced at him, then looked away.
He buried his face against Wei Shannian's shoulder. "I'm so sleepy. Let's go home."
Wei Shannian didn't even look at Jiang Jingchuan. He took Jing Yu's hand and walked right past him.
Only then did Jiang Jingchuan understand: when some people reunite, all they can do is lose each other.
