Tentative blurb:
Dongye Jianjian was once a ghost, but now he has been reborn as a baby. Amid a woman's desperate pleas, a man's scolding, and violent jolting, he let out his first cry in this life.
Whether by good or bad fortune, his father is the lord of a city, able to stay above the fray during wartime. But his naturally red eyes are considered an ill omen.
If his mother hadn't died in childbirth and his father had had any other children, Dongye wouldn't have lived beyond his first fifteen minutes.
For a long time afterward, Dongye thought he would spend his second life muddling along. Then one day, the city gates were breached. Dongye stared speechlessly at a monster as tall as a small mountain.
Nobody told him this world had a setting with ghosts and monsters!
Well, if we're all ghosts, who cares about rank or status?
And things get even more ridiculous. One day, he overhears the maids talking about the treasure all the demons are fighting over: the Shikon Jewel.
Dongye: I've got something to say, and it's not very nice!
Back when he was a ghost, he had heard of this once-popular shonen manga. The important thing isn't that he didn't transmigrate into another life but into a manga, nor that he never read the story. It's that this is an era where people eat people. Literally!
Demons, monsters, ghosts, and war are everywhere. It's hard enough for him to keep his human body now, and he never wants to lose his warm body and go back to floating around like before.
So he decides to find himself a powerful backer! A big, burly one! The kind that can't be snapped in half!
Former ghost, now human, trying his best to stay human x A sturdy, dependable dog demon gong who will never let him down
