In the year of purest love, Ji Liuyun would dig up his own ashes just to make Gu Qian taste them.
A stubborn, aloof uke x a clueless, weepy seme
To prolong his life, Gu Qian captured a four-hundred-year-old ghost named Ji Liuyun and kept him close, waiting for the right moment to refine him into a life-saving medicine. But the longer they lived together, the stranger things became.
The ghost must have been possessed.
Gu Qian flipped him off, and he put a ring on Gu Qian's finger.
Gu Qian tried to capture the ghost, but instead, the ghost captured his heart.
Gu Qian pulled back his cold-faced slap, afraid he might enjoy it too much...
Gu Qian considered himself a cold, antisocial person.
At first, he put on a fearsome act. "I'll kill you and make you into medicine."
Ji Liuyun fidgeted with his fingers, hesitating for a long while. "You can kill me. Will you provide room and board?"
Later, Gu Qian repeated many times, "I'll kill you."
Ji Liuyun said cheerfully, "Okay! Then I'll buy myself a grave and grow a little flower that only blooms for you."
In the end, Gu Qian said weakly, "I'll kill you."
Ji Liuyun lowered his head and kissed him. "I love you too."

Ji Liuyun loved studying and took pride in his command of his native language.
He wanted to earn money to support Gu Qian, so he walked straight into the boss's office.
Ji Liuyun: Hello, I'm qualified for the job.
Boss: How many foreign languages do you speak?
Ji Liuyun: I don't speak any foreign languages. I don't even know pinyin. And please show some respect for our native language.
Boss: Then what kind of translation job are you applying for???
Later, the boss came looking for them, baring his teeth in anger.
Ji Liuyun shielded Gu Qian behind him. "Stay away from him. This thing mutates and bites."
Making good use of his advanced knowledge of colors.
Gu Qian discovered the condoms hidden away and finally snapped.
"You idiot! Have you started looking at dirty stuff now?"
Ji Liuyun's face was full of improper thoughts. "I just... really want to improve."
Gu Qian: "?"
Keeping a dead ghost is so much fun. You start out raising him, and before you know it, you've put your heart and soul into it.
A Serious Summary
We all thought we were the one chosen by fate, the stone meant to mend the heavens, reborn to endure trials. We believed that after surviving three calamities and nine hardships, a monk and a Daoist would come to brush away the dust and help us attain a golden body. For years, we held our heads high, believing ourselves to be the most special person in the world. It wasn't until we wasted five hundred years of passionate effort beneath the Five Elements Mountain that we finally understood: letting go for a single moment can bring more enlightenment than a thousand years of cultivation.
Be a little more open-minded. Don't cling to hope, and don't always be pessimistic.
Keep living, and eventually, you'll have lived through it.
Reader's Guide:
1. Gu Qian has a weak sense of morality. He isn't a conventionally righteous protagonist. He won't go out of his way to do bad things, but he won't go out of his way to do good things either.
2. The main CP is a silly, sweet couple. All scenes and characters in the novel are fictional.
3. The author's skills are limited. Meeting is fate, and I'm grateful to have you along for the journey.
4. To be continued.

A preview of my next novel, a green-tea crybaby: Your Straight Guys Have Such Stiff Lips
At first, Qi Shu said, "I want Zhang Chumo dead."
Friend: "I mean, it could be done, but what did he do to you?"
Qi Shu: "He kissed me."
Friend: ?
Then Qi Shu pretended to be at the end of his rope and begged to go to the Zhang house. Zhang Chumo blocked the doorway.
"You can come in, but crawl."
Qi Shu promptly fainted into Zhang Chumo's arms.
The young master Zhang was dumbfounded. His show of dominance had failed, and he had to find a doctor in the middle of the night. In the end, for some inexplicable reason, he let Qi Shu stay.
Qi Shu's eyes watered easily. Harsh words made them water, kindness made them water, and being ignored made them water.
In short, he cried, he could cry, he loved to cry, and he cried beautifully.
Zhang Chumo was a sucker for it.
So in the end, Qi Shu got everything he wanted by crying.

Zhang Chumo said, "I'm just looking after a poor guy. I don't feel that way about him."
Less than a year later, Zhang Chumo fell out with his family over his plans to register his marriage with Qi Shu.
Qi Shu said, "Zhang Chumo is just a stepping stone I use to get ahead."
But at a banquet, his eyes reddened as he stopped Zhang Chumo. "You can't leave me."
Reader's Guide:
1. The seme chases the uke after a breakup. 1v1, happy ending, no switching semes, both are virgins.
2. The seme is good at acting, so good he believes his own act.
3. A little scheming and true affection, a little literature about a manipulator becoming the one who loses control. A melodramatic novel.
4. Meeting is fate.
5. A melodramatic, indulgent, sweet-and-angsty novel. More details to come.
Theme: Live bravely, and don't torment yourself.
