Song Liang had enjoyed smooth sailing for twenty years, but after his birthday, his carefree life was turned upside down.
Flowerpots fell from the sky while he was out shopping; cars mysteriously rear-ended him on the road; his meals came with steel wool or some unidentified creature in them; even the elevator doors pinched his arm several times.
In short, aside from his career luck, with his company thriving, everything else in his life was spectacularly unlucky.
He'd gone to temples to burn incense countless times and prayed to every god he could think of, all to no avail.
Just as Song Liang had given up and decided to lie flat, accepting his miserable fate, a mysterious little bodyguard appeared.
His name was Yan Li. Their birth charts were a perfect match, he was highly capable and a little bit of a tease, and everything about his looks and personality was adorable.
The pretty boy wore gloves to hide his "manicure," could dance with a scythe, and would protect his boss when everyone turned against him.
One time, after getting drunk, Song Liang learned that Yan Li was his very own Grim Reaper, sent specifically for him.
Not bad. Song Liang accepted him.
First, he would build their relationship with little things.
Song Liang gave him gifts, and Yan Li accepted them calmly.
Song Liang tried to hold his hand, and Yan Li obediently played along.
Song Liang wrapped him in a tight hug, and Yan Li was confused, but adapted quite well...
After a while of slowly turning up the heat, Song Liang felt the time was right.
But after he sincerely confessed his feelings, he was rejected.
And Yan Li, sipping his cola, innocently said, "I thought that was how humans showed friendship."
Song Liang, who had already imagined their sweet future together: …
What could he do? The pure-hearted god hadn't figured out his feelings yet!
As for Song Liang's emotional ups and downs, Yan Li just thought he was being dramatic.
As the Grim Reaper, Yan Li knew that he was here to change Song Liang's run of bad luck and complete his mission.
To achieve his goal, Yan Li didn't mind giving in on anything that wasn't a matter of principle, even shapeshifting into Song Liang's type and sacrificing his good looks...
As for actually entering into an intimate relationship with a human?
Sorry, that wasn't part of his job.
A charming, loyal playboy VS. an adorably contrasting Grim Reaper who occasionally takes human form
