I Picked Up a Netherworld Official to Be My Husband

Mu Fengze was a true scion of one of H City's wealthiest families, and he spent high school surrounded by admirers.

Then, in a single day, his family fell into ruin. Some of his friends looked out for themselves, others kicked him while he was down, but not one offered help when he needed it.

He never expected Xie Mingchen, the high school deskmate he'd avoided like the plague, to reach out and help him, staying by his side as he climbed out of his lowest point.

But just as he was ready to accept Xie Mingchen, Xie Mingchen told him that everything he'd done was only to get revenge on him, then turned around and went into the arms of Qin Yue, the head of the Qin family.

Betrayed once again, Mu Fengze stopped trusting anyone. After making a comeback, he wanted to keep Xie Mingchen chained to his side and torment him, but he was too late. That very night, Xie Mingchen jumped to his death.

Only after investigating did Mu Fengze learn that Xie Mingchen had left for his sake, and had died for his sake, too. He finally understood what Xie Mingchen had traded for the life he now had.

"But Xie Mingchen, you fool. All I've ever wanted is you."

Mu Fengze began taking revenge on everyone who had bullied Xie Mingchen. After driving them one by one to the brink, he went to pay his respects to Xie Mingchen for the first time, then drank poison and died at his grave.

Reborn, Mu Fengze returned to the time when he first met Xie Mingchen:

Nothing had happened yet. This time, he would hold his beloved's hand tight and never let go.

This time, he would never let anyone hurt the one person he cherished above all others.

Xie Mingchen was a Netherworld official from the Lower Yin Realm. When a drowsy prison guard allowed evil spirits to escape from the realm and flee to the human world, he was ordered to bring them back. He took on the guise of an ordinary person and walked among the living.

While carrying out his mission, he chanced upon Mu Fengze, who had an extremely yin constitution. He also discovered that the evil spirits' escape was no accident, but the work of an unseen hand. The mastermind behind it was coveting and searching for someone with an extremely yin constitution.

To uncover the truth, Xie Mingchen stayed by Mu Fengze's side. As they spent time together, Mu Fengze's unexpectedly goofy, unfiltered antics drew him in, and he eventually fell for him.
