A shameless, roguish top x a beautiful, strong, tragic bottom. A one-sided crush turns into mutual, open affection~
Lu Pei Yan graduated from university and immediately became unemployed. After three months as a shut-in, he unexpectedly received an unsolicited job offer.
Lu Pei Yan: ? Did I die from eating cheap food?
He opened it and discovered he really had "died." The offer came from the Otherworld. The job was to help the Otherworld expand its business and scare more people into giving up their resentment.
Bad news: The workplace was Ghost City.
Good news: Salary negotiable, with social insurance and housing fund. Work hours and vacation length were up to him. Payment in RMB while alive, and ghost money after death.
Lu Pei Yan: .
He accepted the job immediately! Hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to money!

A living young man had recently shown up in the Otherworld, parachuted in as the marketing and planning director. The evil spirits all waited to see how long it would take before the kid was scared into crying for his parents and running away.
Unexpectedly, Lu Pei Yan asked them pleasantly, "What problems are you facing right now?"
The evil spirits looked at each other: ?
They answered cautiously, "We haven't met our scaring KPIs? The underground employment rate isn't high enough this year?"
The new boss's expression changed. "I'm very disappointed in you!"
The evil spirits: ?

Under Lu Pei Yan's leadership, the underground employment rate soared. Even the living dreamed of their ancestors showing up to say, "I had nothing before I died. I never thought that after death, I'd finally have some value!"
The living descendant: Ancestor, have you considered that he's treating you like a ghostly corporate slave? :)

One day, the ghost delivery app received a big order. The customer specifically requested a high-level evil spirit, but after trying out a bunch of them, he wasn't satisfied with any.
Lu Pei Yan: I'll go see what kind of weirdo this guy is myself.
Wait, isn't that his idol and secret crush?
Lu Pei Yan: I take it back. I'll handle this one myself. :D
Lin Wan Qiu was a rising star in tech with a bright future, until he was framed, lost his company, and ended up disabled in both legs and in a desperate situation.
One day, he downloaded the ghost delivery app. Driven by hatred, he was willing to pay any price to hire the most vicious ghost to help him get revenge.
But what showed up was a handsome young man with long legs and broad shoulders, smiling at him with curved eyes. He was also shamelessly good at pushing his luck. "Dear, after I finish this job, will you call me hubby?"
"Baby, after I finish this job, will you hug me?"
"Sweetheart, after I finish this job, will you kiss me?"
"Could you [beep] me?"
Lin Wan Qiu finally lost his patience. "Can you finish the job first?"
Lu Pei Yan kissed the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of laughter. "Sure. I'll take my interest upfront."
Note: The bottom isn't just a background character. 1v1, no swapping or switching. I'll dote on both leads. A handsome top and a pretty bottom, though the top is a shameless, roguish dog ().
