[Mild-Mannered Bottom x Persistent Ghost Husband Top]
Lin Yushu is a low-profile, moderately successful actor, a mild-mannered and honest man who always wears a faint smile.
No one knows that he was once married and widowed.
Three years later, his parents asked a matchmaker to find him someone.
"He's two years older than you and a little more mature. He can take care of you."
"I hear his family is pretty well-off. Your dad and I don't want you to keep struggling like this."
"He should be decent-looking. Go meet him first."
On the day of the blind date, Lin Yushu met the man his parents had told him about.
He wore a perfectly tailored suit and a million-yuan watch, and every strand of his hair was neatly in place.
He had captivating peach-blossom eyes, unmatched good looks, and sharply defined features. Even the way he drank his coffee was elegant.
Lin Yushu: ? If this is what you call decent-looking, then everyone in showbiz must be an ugly monster.
He thought they would get to know each other first, but the man opened with, "Did you bring your ID?"
Lin Yushu had no idea why he'd brought his ID that day, but somehow, he ended up registering their marriage.

With no emotional foundation between them, Lin Yushu assumed they'd treat each other with courteous distance after getting married.
Just like he had with his previous husband.
But the man was not distant at all. He was burning with passion.
He wanted kisses and cuddles every day, insisted Lin Yushu check in with him over video calls, and was especially rough in bed.
Afterward, Lin Yushu would stare at the two purplish handprints on his lower back, utterly baffled.
What's more, the man somehow found out he had a former husband and deliberately asked every time which one Lin Yushu loved more.
Then, one day, Lin Yushu saw his late ex-husband's memorial tablet in a dark room.

The first thing Jiang Yiwen did after returning was look for his wife, only to discover that his wife was about to go on a blind date.
His crimson lips curled slightly, dark mist swirling in his eyes.
"My wife's been so naughty. Going after other men while her husband's away, tsk. She needs to be punished."
So he took the other man's place and waited for his wife in the cafe.
They hadn't seen each other in three years, but his wife was still as lovely and fragrant as ever. How could he let some other man have him?
His wife could only belong to him.

Lin Yushu ran away, leaving a divorce agreement behind as he went to film a locked-room escape variety show.
In a traditional Chinese bridal chamber, Lin Yushu sat on the edge of the bed in a red wedding robe, pretending to be the bride. Suddenly, a cold breath brushed his ear, followed by a voice exactly like that of his dead husband.
"Why did you run away, sweetheart? I love you so much."
Terrified of ghosts, Lin Yushu curled his fingers. "I don't love you."
"Is that so?"
The next second, the man gripped his chin and stuffed the damp bridal veil into his mouth.
The man's reddened eyes curved into a slight smile as he scooped Lin Yushu up and faced him toward the camera still recording. In an intimate tone, he said, "Then let's show everyone how your husband loves you."
