One-on-one romance, both leads convincing themselves the other is in love with them, a sweet little supernatural story.
A sadistic closet case with internalized homophobia, pretending to be straight, as the pursuing top x a dark, obsessive gay bottom.
Ji Qianyun died and became the lingering spirit of his archenemy, Pei Shurui. He has to have sex with him every night to absorb his vital essence and keep his soul from dispersing. He thinks, maybe I should just die again.
After living together for a few days, he realizes Pei Shurui might have a crush on him: the bedroom walls are covered with his photos, there are books filled with his name, and even a tiny figurine doll of him... So Pei Shurui has been picking fights with him at every turn because his love was unrequited.
After doing it so many times, Ji Qianyun thinks that Pei Shurui may be annoying, but he's great in bed. Maybe he should take him with him?
--
Pei Shurui has wanted to kill Ji Qianyun for a long time. He throws darts at his photos and prays that he'll die a horrible death soon; he even custom-orders a voodoo doll to curse him in secret. Ji Qianyun does die, but then Pei Shurui is haunted by an evil spirit and suffers sleep paralysis every night, soon becoming gravely ill.
Pei Shurui becomes a ghost, too. To keep his soul from dispersing, he has to kiss his archenemy, the evil spirit, and seek out yin energy. He thinks, maybe I should just vanish into thin air.
After living together for a few days, he realizes Ji Qianyun might like him. Ji Qianyun offers him yin energy every day and is always trying to get him into bed... So all their past clashes were really Ji Qianyun making advances on him.
After doing it so many times, Pei Shurui thinks that Ji Qianyun may be annoying, but he's pretty good in bed. Maybe they should give dating a try.
Pei Shurui waits for Ji Qianyun to confess first, and Ji Qianyun waits for Pei Shurui to say he loves him first, but neither of them makes a move.
Until one time, while they were in bed, one of them said, "I love you," and they both stopped at once.
"That was you, right?"
"It was obviously you."
"You've liked me for ages. Don't deny it."
"Actually, you've been secretly in love with me for a long time, haven't you?"
"You damn gay."
"Could you pull out before you start insulting me?"
Message: May they live in sweet harmony.
