A Collection of Stories With a Male Ghost Top

Top-led anthology

A commanding, king-of-the-world ghost top x A seemingly arrogant, domineering bottom who actually goes crazy if I'm not paying attention to him, a genuine ghost of a man

*

Everyone knows that the Space-Time Administration has a department dedicated to winning over the domineering protagonists of its small worlds. It has never failed and boasts an impressive record.

So System 059, full of anticipation, couldn't wait to push open the door to the Conquest Department the moment it received its transfer order.

Facing its first excellent employee, the System nervously recited the official instructions:

*

"When handling a righteous, talented, and ambitious young domineering protagonist, you should take advantage of your age, make a strong move, become his comrade-in-arms while comforting his heart, and turn friendship into love..."

After listening, Host A pondered briefly, then understood perfectly and assigned himself an identity that was as old as it gets.

A fearsome ghost boss who forces people into ghost marriages.

A relentless, ruthless, thousand-year-old ghost who will drag you to hell.

System: There's no need to be quite that old, is there?

*

"When dealing with an aloof, CEO-type domineering protagonist, you should persistently pursue him, become part of his life, get him used to your presence, and make him fall in love with your kind nature..."

Host B gave a low laugh and calmly lifted a corner of the character profile.

A cannon-fodder character who pursues the domineering protagonist and ultimately loses everything.

A bully who picks on the weak, extorts people, and won't take no for an answer, appearing to be a gold-digger who will stop at nothing to marry into wealth.

System: I didn't mean get that deeply involved!

*

After crossing the line at every turn while working alongside his unhinged Hosts, 059 was mentally and physically exhausted.

Weren't they supposed to be sweet, innocent, kind, and virtuous homemakers? How did they all turn into gloomy, crazy ghosts?

...And why is that domineering protagonist over there looking so pitiful and desperate as he begs the Host to stay with him for all eternity?

*

Didn't you say you'd always keep your eyes on me?

Why are you leaving?

Mission One: A relentless, thousand-year-old ghost who seeks lives x A righteous exorcist forced into a ghost marriage

Everyone knows that to summon the famous young exorcist and have him suppress an evil spirit, you need to prepare incense, candles, paper money, and wedding wine, and cover the entire building with dark red wedding characters. If possible, you should also prepare a procession of wedding gifts stretching ten miles and a dragon-and-phoenix wedding robe.

Solemn and eerie, yet utterly bizarre.

At midnight, the moment the exorcist appears with a peachwood sword on his back, red mist billows and bloody threads entwine. In the darkness, a gorgeous, bewitching face will appear.

The visitor's scarlet, emotionless eyes curve with delight. His cold hand grips the wrist of the young man below him, who fights to suppress his pain and fear, then leaves him with a distant, cruel kiss that foretells his death.

Let his eyelashes droop a little, and through his loose round-collared robe, you can see the blood-red scar he left behind, still unhealed after all these years.

An undispellable evil ghost has followed him like a shadow since birth, controlling the young man's life. His every word and action has been shaped into a twisted form that best pleases the ghost.

And killing him is the young exorcist's one and only wish in life.

That's how it should have been.

If the young man hadn't later worn his wedding robes and stubbornly knelt in the ancestral hall beneath a shower of red paper, determined to fulfill that almost laughable marriage vow despite everyone's objections, that is.

"Didn't you say I owed you eighteen years of wedding nights?"

The person leaning lightly against the cold coffin spoke in a soft, murmuring voice, like a lover whispering.

"You don't get to back out, not even for a single day."

Mission Two: A fake blackmailer gold-digger x A powerful, emotionally detached CEO

In a dark room, a surveillance screen provided the only light, displaying a person's every move.

The man watching it from a recliner put down his phone and rose lazily.

The last messages on his phone had arrived two minutes ago.

[...Where are you?]

[I didn't have dinner with that person.]

[...Why haven't you messaged me today?]

He scrolled up through the messages without a care, though the sender's tone was the exact opposite.

[Stop pestering me.]

[You're really crazy.]

[Can't you leave me alone?]

From disgust to breaking down, from resistance to helpless acceptance, it was as if someone who had stood above the clouds had been dragged down to earth and forced to reveal his weakness.

The man curled his lips into a smile as the screen in his hand went dark, then lit up again.

A new message appeared:

[...I found out where you live.]

[I'm at the door.]

The man reading it raised an eyebrow, the corners of his eyes gradually curving upward.

Only after pouring two glasses of amber brandy did he leisurely pick up his phone and type:

[Then open the door yourself.]

[But wasn't me disappearing what you wanted most?]

The reply came at once, accompanied by the urgent sound of a key turning in the lock:

[No...]

[This isn't what I want.]

[Don't ignore me... please.]

The man inside the room laughed.

He looked at the lock, which was about to turn but then stopped cautiously, and his eyes filled with amusement.

[That depends on how you behave.]

[Want to come in, good boy?]

Mission Three: A regent with absolute power and achievements that threaten the throne x A ruthless young emperor who has endured hardship and bided his time

More worlds to be decided.

Reader's guide:

1. An unconventional Stockholm syndrome romance. They're truly crazy when they're crazy, truly in love when they love, and their redemption is genuine too.

2. The top and bottom are monogamous in every world, with happy endings and true love.

3. Not suitable for fans of either the bottom or the top.
