Can Kissing My Arch-Nemesis Keep Me Alive?

Xu Rong opened his eyes and realized he was dead, but his name wasn't in the Book of Life and Death.

The underworld official said the old servers in the Netherworld might not have refreshed, so he should float around in the human world for a while.

With nothing to do, Xu Rong decided to go scare his archenemy.

Xu Rong floated into his archenemy's home.

He blew a few gusts of ghostly wind to wake him, then made his scariest ghost face.

Who knew that the next second, his archenemy would pull him into his arms and kiss him?

◇

Shen Yuheng had secretly loved Xu Rong for years, only to hear that the person he loved had died.

One night, as he held Xu Rong's portrait, he felt a stir and opened his eyes. There was Xu Rong right in front of him, sticking out his tongue and acting cute.

Thinking he was dreaming, he pulled Xu Rong into his arms and kissed him passionately.

Later, Shen Yuheng realized this probably wasn't a dream.

◇

There was something wrong with Xu Rong's soul, and it could dissipate at any moment.

Their Taoist priest friend said that Shen Yuheng had an extremely yang body. Only by staying with him could Xu Rong avoid having his soul scattered.

An extremely yang body and a ghost staying together? It sounded completely unreliable.

"You're a half-baked Taoist priest, aren't you?" Shen Yuheng's words nearly made the man drop dead from rage.

Taoist priest friend: I ** you, you &￥*

Shen Yuheng cut him off impatiently. "So what do I have to do?"

The Taoist priest friend took a deep breath. "From what I can tell, the most effective way to extend his life is kissing."

Shen Yuheng paused, then changed his tune at lightning speed. "Yes, you're the best Taoist priest in the world."

Taoist priest friend: ???

◇

And so Shen Yuheng kissed Xu Rong until he was completely dazed.

Clutching a pillow, Xu Rong was just about to complain when he heard Shen Yuheng let out a heavy sigh.

"I've sacrificed a lot to save the life of my [archenemy]."

Xu Rong: .

Shen Yuheng: "What should you say?"

Xu Rong: "...Thank you."

Shen Yuheng: "You're welcome :)"

1. Shen Yuheng x Xu Rong | A nasty seme who's human but gives off the damp, gloomy vibe of a male ghost x a cute, innocent, easily fooled uke who's a ghost but acts like a sweetheart

2. The uke is the only one who thinks they're enemies. A story about going after a nonexistent rival and bringing home a husband instead.

3. Monogamous, happy ending, a sweet and fluffy bedtime read, no angst or complicated backstory, just silly, sugary romance all the way through.

Next up: I Met My Archenemy in Person and Found Out He's My Ideal Type

[Enemies first, lovers later; combative married couple]

Ye Que challenged someone to a fight. The other person was an online archenemy he'd met on the internet.

But the fight never happened. Instead, Ye Que slept with a handsome guy who was exactly his type.

The next morning, Ye Que woke up leaning against his ideal type's chest and called his archenemy on WeChat, planning to show off how strong he was.

His ideal type kissed his earlobe and casually asked if he needed any help.

Before Ye Que could answer, his ideal type's WeChat rang.

The screen clearly read: "Idiot invited you to a voice call."

Ye Que: .

Zhou Chiye, who had been holding him and sniffing him nonstop, froze and instinctively looked at Ye Que's phone.

"You are inviting Big Idiot to a voice call."

Zhou Chiye: ...

*

Later, Zhou Chiye dragged Ye Que into an alley from a bar.

Ye Que's little face was flushed. He lifted his chin proudly. "What are you doing? Want to fight?"

Zhou Chiye stared at him for a while, then pulled him along.

"Where are we going?"

"To fight."

"Oh, fine. I'll beat you to death."

But not in the face, Ye Que thought.

If I mess up his face, I won't have anything nice to look at.

Zhou Chiye hummed in agreement.

He'd already booked a hotel. They could fight in the room.

1. Younger, roguish seme who's actually innocent and a little old-fashioned x gorgeous, hot-tempered uke who's a firecracker, a pretty-boy lover, and a total knockout. Both are sexually inexperienced.

2. A short, everyday two-man romantic comedy, around a hundred thousand characters, perhaps less.

3. A combative couple, neither of them perfect.

Core message: Love can overcome any obstacle.
