Putting this up for now to see how it goes. The cover is still a draft and being worked on.
Like the male leads in all stories about being saved in youth, he's gloomy and withdrawn, blind in one eye, and has been called a "monster" since childhood. Lin Tong has a popular childhood friend, Zhang Zhuozhi.
He's in love with his childhood friend.
At last, on his birthday, he works up the courage to call Zhang Zhuozhi, who's away at university.
To his surprise, his childhood friend answers and, without waiting for him to speak, says only, "Happy birthday," before hanging up.
The next time they meet is at a funeral.
Zhang Zhuozhi jumped to his death.
After returning home from the funeral, Lin Tong is dazed and sleeps for seven days.
He suddenly wakes up, gasping under a heavy weight on his chest.
When he opens his eyes, his pale-skinned childhood friend is sitting on top of him, head tilted as he smiles.
"So you really can see ghosts, just like you said before~"
Lin Tong can not only see ghosts, but also perform a little magic: ...
His childhood friend, who's lost some of his memories, asks him to help investigate the cause of his death.
But when Lin Tong takes a shovel to the cemetery, he discovers that the ashes buried there aren't Zhang Zhuozhi's.
Zhang Zhuozhi's real body has been divided into six pieces and sent to different places.
A stolen corpse, mysterious talismans, an eerie altar, five chosen sacrifices...
Along the way, they encounter all kinds of ghosts, demons, strange people, and powerful families...
The truth gradually comes to light, and the feelings they've kept restrained and hidden can no longer be concealed...
Whose fingers are trembling with guilt?
Whose expression is relieved, with the same faint smile as before?
"From here on, the human world is my gift to you..."
"A birthday present."
Lin Tong: My confession journey is so long. When will I ever succeed?
Childhood friend: ? I thought we already were a couple!
Well, look at you, secretly living the good life with a wife while leaving your wife to suffer from unrequited love!
