Song Zhiyuan stands out among the bald professors at A University.
His hair is loosely half-tied, his features as lovely as peach blossoms in March, and he always wears a neat trench coat. He looks like someone best admired from afar, but he's actually very gentle.
He's been alone since childhood. His family says he was born under an ill-fated star that brought about the deaths of his parents and relatives. To suppress his fate, they arranged his engagement to the gifted heir of a family of celestial masters.
His fiancé is indeed handsome, gentle, dazzling, and proud.
"You don't have to be afraid anymore. This is your home now."
Song Zhiyuan has never even tasted candy. He is coaxed and deceived, and foolishly believes him.
But one day, he wakes to find himself bound to a strange altar, hung up like a lamb and bled dry.
Only then does Song Zhiyuan learn that he was born with an extremely yin constitution, a potent tonic for ghosts. They intend to use him as bait to lure a Ghost King, then kill it and use its remains to temper his fiancé's talent.
That day, they drain Song Zhiyuan of his blood. As he lies on the verge of death, a lazy voice suddenly speaks by his ear.
"Hey, how about you give me your body? I'll help you get revenge."

Jun He is a Ghost King who has slept for a thousand years. He's incredibly powerful, but has no physical form.
He takes over a very handsome body, but the body's original owner's soul hasn't vanished. The two of them have no choice but to squeeze together and muddle through life.
From then on, the Ghost King is stuck going to lectures, revising papers, grading assignments, and making reports, while casually pinning down and killing one jumping, furious celestial master after another.
The Ghost King often wonders how he ended up like this. This is nothing like the wonderful life he imagined!
He wants to open the gates of the underworld! He wants to destroy the world! He wants ghosts to run rampant across the land, unleashing chaos and bloodshed!
But every time, a gentle yet urgent voice starts chanting in his ear
"It's almost time. We need to go to class, or we'll get caught in traffic. Today's lecture is about blablabla..."

But
Jun He looks up.
The slender, fair body in the mirror turns pink at the slightest touch. Under his fixed gaze, it gradually flushes with bashful red, giving off a scent that's both youthful and ripe, absolutely delicious to look at.
"D-don't look anymore..."
Song Zhiyuan's voice, tearful and unbearably embarrassed, sounds by his ear. Jun He swallows, a strange, frenzied light of pleasure in his eyes.
Maybe this isn't so bad.
He can put off destroying the world for now.
#From then on, he spends his days working for his wife and his nights having his wife work for him#
#Breaking news! Yesterday, every yellow talisman at the school burst into flames. What could have caused this? Let's investigate...#
