Pregnant with the Ghost Child of My Wrongfully Killed Childhood Friend

Jiang Keliu's childhood friend, Chu Shaoqing, died in a car accident.

They say the scene was horrific: his face was unrecognizable, his body smashed to pieces. Seven or eight forensic doctors shook their heads at the sight, and it took them two days of overtime to put him back together.

The last call Chu Shaoqing made before the accident was to Jiang Keliu. He was driving to see him, and Jiang Keliu even owed him ten million.

Jiang Keliu's family fell on hard times, his father ran off, and his mother remarried.

But he was born beautiful and had been spoiled since childhood. He needed everything he used and wore to be top-of-the-line. After the family fell apart, he could only keep living in luxury thanks to Chu Shaoqing and his work as a handsome livestreamer. Chu Shaoqing asked for nothing in return and never brought up the money.

Jiang Keliu didn't feel the slightest bit guilty about it. To avoid paying him back, he even shamelessly claimed the money was a fee Chu Shaoqing paid to keep him. Since Chu Shaoqing had already had his way with him, what sense was there in returning a fee for keeping him?

The Chu family didn't care about the money. They'd drop the matter as long as Jiang Keliu kept vigil at the funeral hall for one night.

Between paying back ten million and keeping vigil, Jiang Keliu picked the latter without hesitation. He even specially prepared knee pads so he could kneel all night in the funeral hall of his childhood friend who had died unjustly... I mean, at least twenty minutes!

But...

Why had the funeral hall turned into Chu Shaoqing's bedroom? Why was there a king-size bed? The wall should have been decorated with mourning ornaments, so why was it covered in wedding decorations?

And also...

Why was Chu Shaoqing's bedroom full of pictures of him? Some were secretly taken, and others were private photos he'd sent to wealthy patrons. Why were there even personal belongings he'd sold off?

Hold on, something's not right!

That night, Jiang Keliu lay down on the big bed, and quickly regretted it.

Invisible hands felt him up from head to toe. True to his name, he spent the whole night dripping wet, waking up sore and aching, filled to the brim with ghostly energy. At least he was still alive.

His life went back to normal, except every night he dreamed of sharing a bed with Chu Shaoqing, being spoiled by him, and getting money just for calling him "hubby" a couple of times, all while continuing his lavish, spendthrift lifestyle. But he was eating more and more, sometimes felt like throwing up, and his stomach was starting to bulge.

He was pregnant.

Jiang Keliu was completely terrified.

He even hired a Taoist priest to exorcise the ghost. At last his belly flattened, and he ran far away without even asking for money. He finally managed to get away.

Later, Jiang Keliu went back to his old line of work as a livestreamer, and soon found himself a top donor.

This new patron pinned him down and kissed him. Just as Jiang Keliu was getting dizzy from the kisses, the patron peeled off his own face, revealing a featureless one underneath.

"Wife, I found you."
