"An enemy for a day is an enemy for a lifetime."
Of all the people in Xijing, Zhuang Lingxu hated Lu Can the most.
Whenever she happened to run into him, she couldn't help cursing him out.
Selling wine and cursing Lu Can: life was comfortable and easy.
Zhuang Lingxu thought it would always be that way.
That changed on the night Lu Can was promoted to Vice Minister of Justice, when the bone bell around her wrist began ringing wildly.
Before her mother passed away, she had repeatedly warned her:
"When the bone bell rings, it means a vengeful spirit has appeared. You must find a way to kill it."
The bone bell drew her into a dream.
What she couldn't understand was why Lu Can had entered it too.
They met in another world and were forced to work together to complete their tasks.
Once inside another world, they had to obey its rules, or they would never wake up. The worst part was that Lu Can knew nothing about ghosts and spirits. To her, he was nothing but a burden.
Zhuang Lingxu gritted her teeth. After much hesitation, she decided to help him anyway.
Dream One: The Academy of Order. They had to play students and find the evil spirit hiding among the crowd.
Dream Two: Twin Actors. They were trapped inside actors' bodies, performing onstage by day and trying to kill each other after nightfall.
Dream Three: The Game of Serving the Master. The evil spirit had taken the form of the current emperor.
Dream Four: The Twelve Zodiac Animals. The twelve zodiac animals had become evil spirits, and they were the food.
After escaping death time and again, Lu Can grew ever more attached to her and fond of her in the other world.
Zhuang Lingxu wiped away a bead of cold sweat.
Fortunately, Lu Can never remembered anything about the other world when he woke up.
He still despised her, and would have happily taken eight hundred baths just because she touched him.
Until one day in the real world, she noticed that the way Lu Can was looking at her seemed strangely familiar.
Zhuang Lingxu: ?
Had Lu Can remembered everything from the dreams?
Had he remembered how, in the other world, they had poured out their true feelings, escaped death, and kissed each other so fiercely and passionately that they nearly bit each other's lips to pieces?
Theme: Don't be too quick to speak.
