Xie Zhaozhao was a wandering ghost with no memories, until he was forced to bind with the System.

The System wanted him to stop the villain who repeatedly stole the male protagonist's fortune.

The great villain, Shen Zhaoxue, appeared to be a polite and gentlemanly young nobleman. In reality, he was sinister and ruthless, mercurial, and a dangerous mission target.

Xie Zhaozhao gave a disdainful laugh. No matter how powerful he was, he was still just a mortal. Couldn't he simply eat him in one bite?

Confidently, he leaned toward the back of Shen Zhaoxue's neck and took a bite. Nothing happened.

Xie Zhaozhao: ? Was the timing wrong?

*

Xie Zhaozhao realized that he couldn't hurt the other man no matter what, so he could only take the long view.

The villain said humans couldn't have close contact with ghosts, or it would shorten their lives.

So Xie Zhaozhao slept on top of him every day to absorb his yang energy.

The villain said humans shouldn't eat food that ghosts had eaten, because it was bad for them.

So Xie Zhaozhao always took the first bite.

Eating his food, drinking his drinks, and sleeping in his bed. Life as a lazy ghost was carefree and delightful.

But the more the System watched, the more something seemed off. Why wasn't he getting weaker at all?

Xie Zhaozhao had a sudden realization. That made sense.

If he couldn't kill the villain, then he could only stay close to the male protagonist and protect him.

*

When Xie Zhaozhao arrived at the male protagonist's house, there wasn't a soul in sight.

Sensing something was wrong, he turned to leave, only to run headlong into golden incantations.

The incantations immediately wrapped around his ghostly body like vines, holding him fast.

"Zhaozhao, you've been naughty."

Xie Zhaozhao turned in astonishment. The great villain had appeared behind him without him noticing and gently wrapped an arm around his waist.

Instead of the expected obliteration of his soul, the man's burning fingers traced his chin and came to rest on his soft lips.

"How should I punish you, my Zhaozhao?"

*

A few years ago, after the Xie family found their missing young master, they suddenly became rich.

Everyone said the real young master was blessed.

No one knew that the fake young master, the boy who had been switched at birth, had already died quietly in the basement.

The only son of the usually haughty Shen family knelt in near despair before the small memorial tablet, cutting his finger to draw a formation and begging for him to return.

Check out my ongoing book, After Online Dating in Women's Clothes with My Straight Roommate

Xu Yi had a face as pure and beautiful as snow, but he had a secret he couldn't tell anyone:

He was horny, and he liked men.

Xu Yi used a female account to date men online in a game.

A couple of leg pics and a few calls of "Big Brother" were all it took to get handsome guys lining up to offer him their hearts.

The latest one he'd hooked was Lu Xingyan, who was practically perfect: broad shoulders, a narrow waist, eight-pack abs, and a face good enough for an acting debut, even in his ID photo.

The only problem was that he'd mentioned being "homophobic" in their chats.

On the day Xu Yi moved in for the new school year, he opened the dorm room door and saw a guy by the window drying his hair. He stopped breathing in shock. Wasn't that the guy he'd just started dating online?!

"H-hello," Xu Yi stammered, wishing he could sink into the floor.

Lu Xingyan tossed his towel over his shoulder and gave a cool, indifferent "Mm."

Seeing how cold he was, Xu Yi angrily opened their chat under the covers that night. I'll send him a leg pic tonight and make him call me Baby!

Xu Yi couldn't bear to lose his handsome, considerate online boyfriend, but living under the same roof made him terribly awkward.

Especially since the other guy was deeply homophobic.

Xu Yi worried that if his secret identity was ever exposed, Lu Xingyan might tear him apart. But then things suddenly began to go off script. When Xu Yi overslept, Lu Xingyan helped sign him in. When he got lazy, Lu Xingyan did his morning run for him. Lu Xingyan even tutored him one-on-one on his group project.

Xu Yi enjoyed the friendship of a roommate during the day and admired the abs in the photos Lu Xingyan sent him on his phone at night. He suddenly felt that getting torn apart would be worth it.

Until one day, as he sneaked a glance at a handsome guy from the physical education department in a milk tea shop, Lu Xingyan's chilly voice suddenly sounded behind him: "I think my online partner lied to me."

Xu Yi's hand shook, and he nearly spilled his milk tea. "Then... what are you going to do?"

"Obviously, I'll settle the score in person." Lu Xingyan grabbed his wrist and pulled him closer, his breath brushing Xu Yi's ear. "For example, make him pay back everything he took from me, with interest."

Xu Yi got more and more scared, and that night he quickly blocked and deleted Lu Xingyan's account. As long as his secret identity stayed hidden, there would always be another handsome guy.

Late that night, a drunk man cornered Xu Yi in the storage room, his back pressed against the cold wall. "I really won't tell anyone!"

"You think that's enough?" Lu Xingyan gripped his chin, his alcohol-scented breath hot enough to make Xu Yi tremble. "You've been pretending to be a girl and flirting with me for three months, and now you want to run?"

"Then what are you going to do..."

As a shadow fell over him, Xu Yi heard a teasing whisper: "Obviously, make up for everything a 'girlfriend' is supposed to do with me."
