[The story is complete! Thank you to every lovely reader who stopped by
=w=]
Qi An is a god of death.
A notorious good-for-nothing god of death, kicked out of the Underworld against all expectations.
He met his own god: that older man named Pei Suiyu.
Pei Suiyu picked him up from a garbage heap, and Qi An turned around and made him die in a car crash.
"Want to come home with me and live the good life?"
Qi An brought him back to the Underworld.
Who knew Pei Suiyu could drink a whole vat of Meng Po's soup and still not lose his memories?
Qi An was speechless. "...What the hell are you so obsessed with that you can't forget it?"
Thanks to Pei Suiyu, Qi An ended up completely stranded in the human world.
To make ends meet, he followed a friend's advice and got a job at a funeral home. He wandered around livestreaming, and within a few days, a top agent spotted him. Somehow, he became a celebrity.
He never expected to be born with a knack for trending topics. First, he made the hot search for viciously roasting haters, then it was because of the volatile CEO of his own company.
The CEO seemed cold and heartless, but would step in with a commanding show of force when people targeted Qi An at a banquet.
He'd make threats and put Qi An down one day, then call him Xiao Qi on a variety show in front of everyone the next.
On Qi An's birthday, drunk, he gazed at him intently. His dark eyes were deep as ink, his emotions impossible to read, yet he softly called him, "Good boy."
And when Qi An got drunk and couldn't get out of character, he kissed him by force after mistaking who he'd confessed to.
Qi An couldn't understand this man or figure out what was going through his mind. Their relationship always seemed shrouded in mist, full of secrets, impossible to see through or make sense of.
Only when they faced a parting between life and death did all their buried past finally come to light.
People always said he had climbed to success by relying on Pei Suiyu, and that Pei Suiyu loved him to pieces.
Only Qi An himself, choking back tears, knew the truth: Pei Suiyu was an old man completely out of touch with the ways of the world!
Their relationship was purely about mutual benefit.
Love between them? No such thing!
But only then did he realize that this man might truly love him to pieces.
"You are so pure. I'm the one who's dark."
[Where red spider lilies grow, mandrakes bloom.]
Says one thing, means another, aloof and devoted CEO (pursuer) × socially clueless, volatile god of death (pursued)
One-on-one, happy ending
1. The pursued is rather reckless at first, but will grow later. He's not a perfect character. If you don't like him, don't curse at him; just leave.
2. The story isn't scary or suspenseful. It's a lighthearted comedy, so enter at your own risk.
3. Most of the story takes place in the entertainment industry. The pursuer owns a company, and the pursued becomes a celebrity. If this isn't your kind of story, don't read it.
4. The setting is a fictional entertainment industry, and everything serves the plot and characters. Please don't nitpick.
5. All characters and places are fictional, with no real-life inspirations. Please don't read anything into it.
Theme: Even when trapped, keep striving. Life is magnificent
