She Returned from the Underworld

"I killed the person I loved most, and now she's come back to claim my life."

*

Lin Yuelou is insecure, timid, and cowardly. More than anything, she fears evil spirits.

Unfortunately, her extremely yin birth chart makes her prone to seeing ghosts, and she can't avoid them.

Before she met Lu Yanhui, she always sat hunched in the farthest corner of the classroom, walked close to the walls, spoke so softly she could barely be heard, and never used the school bathrooms.

She was the school's notorious weirdo, treated with coldness and disgust.

Lu Yanhui was radiant, confident, and bold, everything Lin Yuelou could only dream of being.

Lin Yuelou's eyes were always drawn to Lu Yanhui. Without realizing it, she would stare at her for a long time, as if a creature in a gutter were peeking at the sunlight.

She thought they would remain polite deskmates until graduation, but Lu Yanhui discovered her secret.

"You can see ghosts? Were you born with that ability?"

First she looked incredulous, then she excitedly lowered her voice and leaned close. "I'll tell you a secret too. We can trade, okay?"

Lu Yanhui told her she was a celestial master.

Evil spirits haunted Lin Yuelou, and nightmares held her in their grip.

Lu Yanhui saved her from danger again and again.

Lin Yuelou loved Lu Yanhui.

But so many people loved Lu Yanhui. Lin Yuelou was the most inconspicuous one, the one with the least to offer.

Lin Yuelou never imagined Lu Yanhui would be the first to confess.

Later, Lin Yuelou killed Lu Yanhui.

With a single fatal stab.

*

Lin Yuelou never dared imagine she would see Lu Yanhui again.

On the third anniversary of Lu Yanhui's death, black mist gathered at the foot of the bed, slowly taking on a familiar shape.

Her skin was whiter than snow, her lips red as cinnabar. Her features radiated more power than they had in life, and she was surrounded by a chilling ghostly aura.

The ghost king, her eyes bloodred, lowered her head and slowly licked Lin Yuelou's earlobe. The icy yin energy seeped into her bones, making her shiver.

"Darling, it's been a long time."

Reader's Guide:

1. Full of melodrama and misunderstandings. They torment each other before reconciling. Written to indulge my personal tastes. Please don't flame if it's not for you.

2. The love interest kills the lead for a reason. They love each other, and both have been through a lot.
