Haunted by a Vicious Ghost [Book Transmigration]

Shen Jingxue transmigrated into a book.

One piece of good news: he had a System.

N pieces of bad news: he had become a disposable character in a supernatural novel who died right from the start, his System was useless, and his idiot teammates, seeking a thrill, had tossed him into a coffin to use him to summon an evil spirit. In ten minutes, the evil spirit would appear and tear him to pieces.

Shen Jingxue: "..."

The coffin wouldn't open, and he couldn't count on his System. Shen Jingxue had been lying down obediently, ready to wait for death. But then he saw what the evil spirit looked like... This was exactly his type.

Forced to choose between survival and death, Shen Jingxue chose to confess to the evil spirit. He threw his arms around it, kissed it, and said with heartfelt sincerity, "You probably forgot, but you're actually my wife!"

The evil spirit giggled, slowly embraced Shen Jingxue, and murmured, "My wife, I have finally waited for you."

Shen Jingxue understood. Oh, the evil spirit thought he was a stand-in. That was fine, as long as he stayed alive.

With the evil spirit's help, Shen Jingxue got out of the coffin and began taking revenge on the heartless protagonist group.

The green-tea schemer who had given the bad advice had her tongue cut out.

The cameraman who had tried to kill him was beheaded.

The scumbag actor-in-chief wept in terror and begged on his knees, only to be torn apart by a hundred ghosts.

Even the self-proclaimed righteous disciples of the occult sect were frightened into madness and died in a breakdown.

Deep in the mountains, in a run-down opera house, Shen Jingxue alone was thriving, perfectly at home. The first thing he did after taking revenge was dump the evil spirit and run.

What a joke! When he needed help, of course he called it his darling wife. But now that his revenge was over, he had to run. Was he supposed to stay and become the evil spirit's wife for real, only for his identity to be discovered and to be torn to pieces?

He wasn't stupid. The evil spirit really was stupid, though. So easy to fool.

What Shen Jingxue didn't know was this: it wasn't that the evil spirit was easy to fool. It only trusted him. The evil spirit had never mistaken its beloved for someone else, and Shen Jingxue was no stand-in.

Beauty fades, bones remain; the world is full of chaos and fleeting pleasures.

Well, Xiao Zhixi had waited for him for a hundred years.

Reading Guide:

1. Shen Jingxue is the shou, and Xiao Zhixi is the gong.

2. Shen Jingxue did transmigrate into a book, but he isn't a stand-in. Xiao Zhixi didn't mistake him for someone else. This is important.

3. There is no plotline where the shou pursues the gong.

4. This shares a world with The Opera Performer Was Born Bright and Noble, but the genres are different. The opera story is a prequel, so there's a large time gap.

5. Please add it to your collection. I'll start writing when it reaches the target number of followers.

Theme: Whatever the grievances and vendettas, right and wrong must be made clear.
