The Wicked Beauty Is Relentlessly Coveted by Her Dark, Sinister Ghost Husband

When the Some-Tang website went down, Jiang Yanche got stranded outside his own home with nowhere to go. Following the System's instructions, he made his way to Jinjiang. If he could complete the mission of winning over Lu Yu, he could go home.

They say red beans grow in the south, and Jinjiang is where the male models are.

The moment Jiang Yanche laid eyes on Lu Yu, he knew the saying was true.

The System told him, "You need to raise Lu Yu's hatred of you to one hundred percent."

Jiang Yanche thought the mission would be a breeze. "No problem. I came from Some-Tang. I've got plenty of energy and tricks up my sleeve."

The System added, "Then, at the moment he hates you most, make him fall so helplessly in love with you that there's no cure."

Jiang Yanche: "?"

Is this some kind of dog training? Is Lu Yu even capable of feeling anything else?

-

He has to travel through the three periods of Lu Yu's life that left the deepest impression on him, playing a different role in each one. Once he completes a mission, he moves on to the next period.

First period: [Disgraced former top actor with a scandal-ridden past vs. spoiled, sharp-tongued, pretty-boy starlet at the height of his fame.]

At this point, Lu Yu is mired in scandals in the entertainment industry. He has no connections and no roles, just muddling along in an awkward limbo. Nothing like the star who reached the top as soon as he debuted a few years ago. That's how the public sees him.

Jiang Yanche is a popular young star, sweet and alluring in appearance. He plays a supporting male role in a film alongside a big-name actor. His part is small but charming, and it earns him plenty of fans.

The two, who should have had nothing to do with each other, meet on set.

Jiang Yanche gives Lu Yu a once-over and sneers, "Some people need to face reality instead of acting so high and mighty. You're Lu Yu, right? Come over and wipe my shoes."

Lu Yu frowns at the insolent junior, looking at him as if he's something filthy, then turns and walks away.

Behind his back, Jiang Yanche toys with the tassels on his costume and smiles.

That night, Lu Yu receives an exposed photo of Jiang Yanche dressed as a woman. His pale, slender legs bend slightly, his knees flushed pink, and the edge of the photo cuts off at a very private spot.

Lu Yu pretends he hasn't seen it and doesn't reply, but Jiang Yanche sends him messages with suggestive photos every day after that.

One day, Jiang Yanche takes unusually long to message him. Lu Yu checks his phone again and again, until he finally gets a text: [Sorry, I had the wrong person all these days. Those messages and photos weren't meant for you. Don't get the wrong idea.]

Lu Yu replies at once: [Who were you sending them to?]

His possessiveness and desire to claim Jiang Yanche are impossible to hide.

In public, they're enemies who can't stand the sight of each other. One thinks the other is too stuck-up, while the other can't stand his spoiled, frivolous ways.

But in private, Jiang Yanche gently strokes Lu Yu's face and whispers words of love in his ear.

Lu Yu gazes at him, eyes deep. "You can never leave me."

Jiang Yanche looks at him with deep affection, his heart perfectly unmoved. "I won't, sweetheart. How could I live without you?"

Then he makes an excuse to slip away, throws himself into the arms of a sweet younger guy, and leans against him, giving Lu Yu a sultry look as he says something cruel. "I just don't love you anymore. Can't you understand that?"

Lu Yu clenches both fists, as if nailed to the spot.

The System in his mind shrieks, "That's the stuff! Perfect!"

Jiang Yanche: "Does he hate me a lot right now?"

The System looks at the figures, which are stuck at a standstill, and answers excitedly, "Yes! He's almost dying of hatred!"

-

Second period: [Pitiful, fallen rich kid forced to live under someone else's roof, top vs. seemingly sunny bottom who's dark inside.]

Lu Yu has always been the kid everyone else's parents wish they had: a loving family, money, and excellent grades. Jiang Yanche is his polar opposite, living in his shadow every day.

Then, one day, Lu Yu's family goes bankrupt. The pressure of their debts drives his parents to jump to their deaths, and the Jiang family takes him in when he has nowhere else to turn.

Jiang Yanche smiles like sunshine. He pretends not to notice Lu Yu's cold expression, gives him his candy, and introduces him to his friends.

Little by little, Lu Yu becomes more outgoing, and his feelings for Jiang Yanche begin to change. His possessiveness quietly takes root.

While Jiang Yanche is asleep, he steals a kiss on his cheek. "I heard that people who kiss at exactly midnight will stay together forever."

Jiang Yanche opens his eyes. While Lu Yu stares at him in shock, flustered at being caught, he kisses Lu Yu on the cheek too.

"Okay. We'll never be apart."

Years later, Jiang Yanche suddenly goes abroad and cuts off all contact. Lu Yu desperately searches for him, only to get one answer: "I have a boyfriend."

Lu Yu curls up alone in his room and goes three days without eating or drinking. No one knows what he was thinking during that time.

The System cries out: [Good, good, good! Keep it up! He wants to drag you back to the country, throw you... huh? Then lock you up... huh? And make you his... what?]

Jiang Yanche doesn't feel like helping the System fill in the blanks, so he jumps straight to the next period.

-

Third period: [Seemingly obedient but actually obsessive, unhinged adopted son vs. experienced playboy adoptive father who only wants sex, not love.]

Jiang Yanche has raised Lu Yu for years and knows how dark his thoughts can get. He's mean enough to deliberately provoke him in their everyday life.

He pretends he can't manage his zipper and asks his adopted son for help, then laughs out loud when the other's ears turn bright red.

He deliberately invites a crowd over for a party, then pretends not to notice Lu Yu's dark expression when someone touches his hand, carrying on with his cheerful toasts.

He's raised Lu Yu to be a dog who barks at everyone but stays loyal to his master.

Jiang Yanche can laugh with an arm around someone else's shoulders, then curl up in Lu Yu's arms that night and breathe into his ear.

Free-spirited and debauched.

Lu Yu braces himself above him, breathing hard and panting. "Yanyan, can you stop playing with me?"

Though Jiang Yanche is lying down, he has the imposing air of someone in control. He smiles and lays his smooth leg on top of Lu Yu's rigid length. "Did I give you permission to socialize?"

-

The missions go very well. In every important period of Lu Yu's life, he wants to devour Jiang Yanche alive, yet can't bear to let him go and holds him close, baring his whole heart.

At last, Jiang Yanche can return to his own Some-Tang website. But then things go wrong.

The System screams that Lu Yu has lost control and forcibly broken through the rules of time.

"So?"

The System is already packing up to run. "So all three versions of Lu Yu from the different periods you visited have come here!"

Before leaving, the System kindly warns Jiang Yanche, "Your ex-husbands will be here in three minutes."

Jiang Yanche: "!!! You're not going to provide after-sales support?"

The System's voice comes from far away. "If all else fails, three isn't so bad."

Disgraced former top actor: "Who were you sending those photos to? Tell me."

Possessive pitiful boy: "Where do you think you're running off to?"

Adopted son who seems innocent but is secretly dark: "Yanyan, you haven't been good. Was I not trying hard enough?"
