Also known as After Dying, I Got a Happy Ending with My Ex
[Blurb One]
Meng Chijun is a charlatan, the kind that runs in the family.
Today, dressed in a bright yellow Daoist robe, he stands beside the host of a variety show with an otherworldly air, listening as the host introduces him as the nineteenth-generation direct-line disciple of the Shangqing Sect. He looks every bit the reclusive master.
When faced with a rampaging infant spirit, his expression doesn't change. After sealing it with one sword strike, he explains to the camera why the client's home is filled with ghostly wails at night: "It's the sound of air currents caused by the building's height. I recommend soundproofing."
When he encounters a vengeful spirit on an ancient battlefield, he remains unruffled. After sending it on its way, he faces the host's stiff expression and solemnly spouts nonsense: "This place must be an iron mine. It's like a natural recording device that captured the sounds of an army marching in ancient times. That's why passersby sometimes hear the sounds of battle."
After filming several episodes of the show, he'd accumulated plenty of merit, and his ability to lie with a straight face had grown by the day.
He was determined and unstoppable, seemingly impervious to anything or anyone that might shake his resolve.
Until news came of Ji Xianqing's death.
In an instant, the world within Meng Chijun's heart was turned upside down.
[Blurb Two]
Ji Xianqing died.
The day after his death,
his former boyfriend, eyes bloodshot, showed up at the door. Ignoring the Ji family's attempts to stop him, he forcibly took away the corpse. "I can bring him back to life."
Picking up the finger that had fallen to the ground, Ji Xianqing tenderly blew off the dust and glared furiously. "You said you'd bring me back to life! How does this count as bringing me back to life?!"
Carefully sticking the finger back on with superglue, Meng Chijun tenderly kissed his beloved's pale, swollen face. "Be good. Just wait a little longer."
I would search the highest heavens and the deepest underworld. Even if I were to be reduced to ashes, I would bring you back.
Theme: True love can transcend life and death.
