The Lord of the Underworld Always Thinks I Like Him

[The novel will begin once it reaches 500 favorites!]

Yu Yihan studied hard for ten years before traveling to the capital to take the imperial examination, and stayed overnight at a temple in the countryside.

Scholars often say, "An amorous encounter awaits in the wilderness."

As a grown man, Yu Yihan had his share of fantasies.

Unexpectedly, he did have such an encounter, but it wasn't quite what he had imagined.

A tall, handsome man in black, with an icy bearing, grabbed Yu Yihan by the wrist and pinned him to the bed, his voice like thunder.

"Clerk Yu, this is a demon's dream! Wake up!"

Yu Yihan trembled. "You're pretty handsome. Why are you so rough?"

The tall man: "...I have no interest in men."

Later, Yu Yihan passed the imperial examination and was chosen as a son-in-law right after the results were announced. He was pushed into the bridal chamber, where he saw the man in black sitting at the edge of the bed, imposing as ever.

Yu Yihan was terrified. "You said you weren't interested in men!"

The Lord of Mount Tai is replaced every thirty thousand years. Chen Ji has been in office for only five hundred.

The underworld's rules are carried out efficiently, and every ghost enforcer is diligent.

Only one clerk, Yu Yihan, is always slacking off. Once, he got drunk and fell into the Yellow Springs, where he was swept into the demon realm and took a hundred-year vacation.

Now that Yu Yihan has finally returned, Chen Ji naturally has to whip the lazy clerk into doing his job every day.

But one day, when Chen Ji and Yu Yihan were out together, they encountered a demon calamity. The waters of the River of Forgetfulness surged, and they both fell into an illusion.

As a clerk of the underworld, Yu Yihan had no defense against the dream. Worse, he mistook Chen Ji for a frivolous flirt who kept following him around just to win his heart!

Chen Ji is absolutely not that kind of person!

Besides, in the underworld, this clerk is always sneaking glances at him. He's even done that sort of thing before. Does Yu Yihan really think Chen Ji doesn't know how he feels?

When the demon's dream ended, Yu Yihan looked at the hand still resting on him and refusing to move, and couldn't help asking the Lord of the Underworld to clarify once more.

Yu Yihan: "What kind of person aren't you?"

Chen Ji drew Yu Yihan into his arms and gently patted his back and waist. In a soft voice, he said, "Now that we're in love with each other, why are you still so shy?"

Yu Yihan's lips trembled, and he couldn't speak.

I just thought you were handsome. So what if I looked? Nobody said I had to give myself to you!
