[An honest, naive, innocent-flower girl & a moody "dragon-slaying" villainous boy]

The mortal Ye Qingzhan can see ghosts. To stay alive, she signed a contract with the King of Hell and became a ghost ferrier, guiding spirits through the pass.

The King of Hell sent her two helpers:

One was a chatterbox banished immortal who knew everything from astronomy to geography, yet had been demoted time and time again.

The other was a sickly young man who looked sinister, gloomy, and ruthless, but was actually eager to learn and ask questions.

The two men and one immortal traveled together, escorting ghosts through the pass. From then on, they lived colorful, entertaining lives.

One day, they listened to a ghostly opera singer belt out a tune in the pear garden; the next, they competed in embroidery with a skilled ghost.

At noon, they played hide-and-seek with half-grown ghosts; at night, they listened to see who could cry the loudest in the infant spirit hall...

The banished immortal laughed and cried, "Splendid, splendid! What joy, what joy!"

But Ye Qingzhan discovered that both her companions seemed to have secrets.

The banished immortal seemed to be looking for a ghost inside Ghost Gate.

When the boy was away from her, ghosts were afraid of him. When he was with her, he acted innocent and weak, yet the look he gave her grew stranger and stranger.

Ye Qingzhan was a little alarmed.

Later, after they passed through Ghost Gate, the banished immortal's long-held wish came true, and Ye Qingzhan recovered her lost memories, as if waking from a dream.

Looking at the blood-soaked boy in the distance, she suddenly remembered:

He had once borne countless sins and slain a dragon in the abyss.

And yet... he collapsed into her arms, weeping.

From the male lead's perspective:

Beginning: I want to kill you.

Development: I want to devour you.

Turn: How could you forget me? (The sickly beauty weeps.)

Conclusion:

Ye Qingzhan: Please watch the video.

Wen Gu: Sniffle.

Notes:

① No System, no transmigration into a book. Volume One tells the stories of several ghosts; Volume Two covers how the leads first meet and their developing feelings. No melodramatic feuds, and the overall tone is warm. :D

② Not a strong female lead story. One-on-one romance, happy ending.

③ Lots of original worldbuilding. Some immortal titles are inspired by traditional mythology and folk customs.

④ The heroine pretends to be a warm, considerate, delicate flower. The hero is genuinely sickly and delicate, but he's an innocent, eccentric ghost king, not a yandere. His behavior in the "early, early" chapters is pretty awful, and he really does have bad intentions toward the heroine. Later, he's a male ghost who's everywhere. Pay attention to the character setup →_→ " " ←_←!

⑤ Enjoy reading!

Coming soon: After the Sweetheart Falls into a Yandere's Den

[Short-tempered sweetheart & split-personality yanderes]

Blurb:

During finals week, Jing Ge anxiously transmigrated into a melodramatic novel with most of its chapters locked, becoming the heroine. She planned to follow the plot obediently, but then realized the characters and events in the book were all a little off...

"The secretly sick one"

The first male lead was an aloof immortal, a solitary star who had never loved anyone. He cared only about the greater good, and had taken the heroine as his disciple only because of an accident.

Jing Ge's melodramatic mission was to make him fall from his pedestal and go mad with love.

But... Jing Ge felt she hadn't done anything at all. She'd merely gotten drunk with an attendant from another palace and fallen onto a bed.

That day, the Immortal Venerable, who usually wore spotless white robes and kept his distance from her, was dressed only in a crimson under-robe, his hair disheveled as he sat by the bed. His cool fingertips traced up from her ankle. Leaning close to her ear, he said,

"You're mine. You can only be mine."

Jing Ge, more than half sober: "...?!" I'm... What the hell is wrong with you!

He was already gone mad. What could she do? Fake her death and disappear!

"The openly sick one"

After faking her death, Jing Ge was captured by the Demon King.

In the story, the Demon King had a terrible temper, loved blowing people's brains out, and kept the heroine like a canary. But Jing Ge wasn't cut out to be a canary. On her first day there, she couldn't help kicking him in the face.

Jing Ge: "...I'm done for." Who ever heard of a canary clawing at an eagle's face?!

But the Demon King laughed instead of getting angry. "You finally let yourself get angry with me. The real you is so adorable. Come on, do it again."

Jing Ge: "?" Do what again? What the hell is wrong with you, Demon King?

Later, after they'd spent a long time together, the Demon King would often stroke Jing Ge's face and ask, "If I kill them all, will you love only me?"

Jing Ge: "!" What a freak!

After calling the Heavenly Realm's emergency hotline, Jing Ge ran away...

"The secretly, secretly sick one"

Jing Ge escaped to the mortal realm and became the sect's beloved junior sister, rescuing a down-and-out young man from the fox clan.

The fluffy young man could change colors to suit her preferences, and would play the flute for her all night.

Holding him close, stroking his fox tail and ears, Jing Ge sighed:

"Immortals and Demon Venerables are all trouble. One misstep and I'm bent out of shape. The fox man is the very best, playing his flute for me every night."

She felt that way until one day.

Jing Ge accidentally discovered that the fox man had cut off the hands and feet of a fellow cultivator. The cultivator had touched her hand just a moment earlier.

She heard the fox man say, "You dared to touch her hand? You want to die?"

His voice was icy, his gaze murderous. But the moment he turned and saw Jing Ge about to run away, all of it disappeared.

His eyes brimmed with tenderness and his voice was soft, yet his gaze was blood-red as he turned his head and asked, "Big Sister, are you going to run away?"

Much later, Jing Ge looked on in terror as the usually aloof, self-controlled immortal who loved wearing white approached her in a Demon Venerable's black and purple robes, his silver fox tails held high behind him.

There was something wicked in his smile, and his fox tails curled around her.

The three-in-one male lead: "Your husband is so wonderful. Won't you give me your heart, my dear?" (His deep V-neck was wide open, showing just a hint of his shoulder...)

Jing Ge: "...?!?! Who are you? Put your clothes back on!"

Author: Did I really write this part??? (Dragged away by the reviewers.)

Reviewer: The thing we feared most has come to pass. (Upright and unyielding.)

Hot topics across the Three Realms and Four Seas, ten li in all directions:

#Short-tempered sweetheart treats the sick, live online ?(▼ヘ▼#)#

#Why did the Immortal Venerable develop split personalities?! (@o@!!)#

#Three men, one show. The heroine says: (/_\) What a sucker I am.#

Notes:

① One-on-one romance, happy ending. One-on-one means the male lead is the same person from beginning to end.

The male lead's personality in each phase:

Refined scoundrel, motherly type (aloof and self-controlled version) → Demon King who never gets caught up in pointless self-doubt (sunny and cheerful version) → gloomy little fox who wags his tail only for the heroine (crying, laughing, and going crazy version) → all three in one (upgraded 3.0 version)

Each phase has some yandere traits, but he's not a typical yandere.

② The original heroine is not vilified. The heroine and the original heroine are connected by cause and effect. A sweetheart saves the world, in every sense of the word. The male lead is a glutton. ╭(╯ε╰)╮

③ The author, readers, and reviewers all transmigrate into the book.

④ Punctuation in the story isn't used randomly; the blurb just expresses the emotions. The tone is light and lively, just to make fellow readers smile.
