Xiao Mei has the ability to see spirits and has been haunted by evil ghosts for years. She thought that once they were sealed away, she could live in peace and good health. But then a blood rain swept over the city and dragged her back into the mire.

When evil entities surged forth in the blood rain and Xiao Mei was at her most desperate, she was saved by the diviner Ming Luo. With one hand, Ming Luo held a bloodstained talisman umbrella. Aloof and desolate by nature, they seemed shrouded in gloom and mist, and their whereabouts were always elusive.

Xiao Mei's spirit-seeing eyes could see a hundred ghosts, yet she couldn't make out Ming Luo's soul. Only the shadow of a blue-faced wolf lurked beneath their robes, its eyes as blood-red as crimson.

"Why do I keep dreaming of a sea breeze that goes round and round? Why do I dream of the River of Three Paths, where the yin wind blows, and the quicksand lands where countless souls drift?"

Why do I dream of you so often?

Xiao Mei was certain she and Ming Luo were not meant to walk the same path. Yet long before she was born, the course of her life had already begun to shift, imperceptibly, toward Ming Luo.

"Before I met you, nothing I hoped for ever went right. The Moon Goddess's birthday is coming. I want to go and fulfill my vow."

"Fulfill your vow?"

"The marriage ribbons in the mortal world really do work. Once they're tied, they're tied forever."

Next Novel

[Forced to Stick Close to My Archrival to Stay Alive]

Tang Zheng was electrocuted to death and transmigrated into a book, becoming a doomed actress in a girls' love novel. The original owner had no sense of her place, calling herself a senior in the industry while snatching resources from Li Su. Their fans fought bitterly, leaving behind a mountain of scandals.

Her frail body collapsed in a breeze. She coughed every few steps and had to stop and rest every few more. Just as Tang Zheng was about to die of illness, a voice spoke to her during her deathbed life review: getting close to her archrival could suppress her illness.

Her former archrival had become the cure for her lung disease.

To escape her short-lived fate, Tang Zheng changed her mild, easygoing ways. Every day, she braved attacks from her anti-fans and took the initiative (was forced) to ingratiate herself with Li Su. Using herself as bait, she approached Li Su with her perpetually coughing, frail body, trying to repair her image in Li Su's eyes.

"Teacher Li, your hands are a little cold."

"Teacher Li, I'm afraid of the dark. Could you hold me?"

"Teacher Li, I don't quite understand this kissing scene."

"Teacher Li..."

Straight. Li Su: "I'm not interested in women, and I'm even less interested in you."

Later, simple intimacy with Li Su stopped working, and Tang Zheng was left half dead from her pulmonary heart disease. During another deathbed life review, that voice appeared again, giving her an order that made her blush.

[The "make love" scene is now starting. Please study the positions in advance.]

Holding fast to the principles of someone who had transmigrated into a book, Tang Zheng would rather die than force Li Su.

Just as she was about to die of illness, her archrival, who had always been at odds with her, climbed into her bed.

The next day, Li Su wore a scarf to her interview.

The sweetest CP of all time, "Pear Sugar," began promoting itself.
