The neighbor next door is a tall man with long hair.
His name is Yu Hao, and his appearance is quite extraordinary. His long hair hides his face, and the eyes visible through it are frighteningly large, always bloodshot. His voice is rough and hoarse.
In both appearance and demeanor, Yu Hao seems far too dark and sinister to be a good person.
But to Ji Feiying, Yu Hao is the best person he's met in this city.
He doesn't talk much, but he's kindhearted. When Ji Feiying works overtime until he's on the verge of a breakdown, Yu Hao patiently stays by his side for ages, offering tissues and water with such care that Ji Feiying cries even harder. When Ji Feiying curses his awful boss and coworkers, Yu Hao pats his shoulder and gives him a gentle hug. When Ji Feiying gets home starving but can't bring himself to cook, Yu Hao takes him by the hand and brings him over for dinner.
He's so, so good. His long black hair is smooth and glossy, and when his big eyes look at Ji Feiying, they're full of warmth and tenderness.
Held in Yu Hao's arms, with the man urgently asking in his hoarse voice, "Did you get hurt when you ran into a ghost just now?" Ji Feiying thinks groggily, I like him so much.
Wait. What did Yu Hao say he ran into just now?
Ji Feiying snaps to his senses. Forcing out a laugh, he beams with the radiant light of materialism. "How could ghosts exist? That's impossible!"
Yu Hao, who is a ghost: "..."
He answers stiffly, "Right. No ghosts."

Present life: outwardly a gentle, accommodating homemaker, inwardly a brooding creep; a beautiful ghost whose face is injured x an emotionally expressive, resilient, cheerful office worker who sometimes cries when his feelings overwhelm him, is afraid of ghosts, and stubbornly refuses to believe in them (Yu Hao x Ji Feiying).
Past life: a talented, handsome, proud, arrogant, prickly, and spoiled popular opera performer whose life was "a duckweed battered by wind and rain" x a young master who fell in love at first sight and thought, "One glance from you is all it took for me to think of you morning and night."
Past and present lives, an unfinished love between human and ghost, and a society where humans and ghosts coexist. Both died in the past life, ending in tragedy; in the present life, they regain their memories and get a happy ending.
They're both hopeless romantics who are absolutely crazy about each other.
I wanted to write a little love and hate to relieve some stress and indulge my tastes. I feel like I'm going a little crazy.
Theme: You love me, and I love you.
