After Making a Marriage Pact With a Thousand-Year-Old Jiangshi

★ My next two stories, My Uncle, I Have Limerence and The Whole Cultivation World Has Gone Mad Studying for the Civil Service Exam, will be released at the same time! Take a look if you’re interested~

As a notorious playboy in the occult world, the poster child for doing nothing useful, and the Special Investigations Bureau’s biggest headache, Yun Shu firmly believed that playing drums beat falling in love, and maintaining a car beat raising a person.

But one field assignment ruined his carefree life for good.

He blew up the lair of a thousand-year-old Jiangshi King and nearly turned him, coffin and all, into a specimen.

To appease the old ancestor’s anger, and because he knew he was in the wrong, he resigned himself to signing the marriage contract the Jiangshi King threw at him.

He was sure the other man was just a pretty antique vase. A ten-year marriage contract was nothing he couldn’t handle.

But Yun Shu never imagined that this so-called vase had a mouth like it was coated in poison, constantly raising his blood pressure at home.

Thinking, “If I can’t deal with him, I can at least avoid him,” Yun Shu tried to keep his distance. Then the other man promptly became his immediate superior.

It was bad enough having to put up with him at home. At work, he tore Yun Shu’s painstakingly drawn talismans to shreds and even sent the young master to read feng shui for the neighborhood committee’s elderly residents! And check out graveyards!

Yet the old ancestor was impossible to hit, scold, or even snap at, and was absurdly petty.

Yun Shu decided to seduce him, then dump him the moment their marriage contract expired!

So Young Master Yun went full peacock, but all he got in return was either indifference or a casual taunt.

Yun Shu was devastated. Completely devastated.

What kind of vase had he ended up with? A poisonous Pandora’s vase!

Feng Yu, the Jiangshi King who had slept for a thousand years, did not exactly wake up with dignity.

The only reason he didn’t kill Yun Shu was that the brat was lucky.

Truly lucky. Although he looked like an arrogant, useless playboy who didn’t know his place, his fate was excellent and his fortune was overwhelming.

A tonic had been delivered right to his door. Following the principle that you shouldn’t turn down a free gift, Feng Yu proposed a marriage contract as compensation, intending to take the brat and all the resources behind him under his wing.

He expected Yun Shu to be just like the playboys he remembered: hypocritical, sycophantic, and idle...

Who knew the brat would be like a firecracker, going off at the slightest touch? At home, he’d slam his hands on the table and shout at Feng Yu. Outside, he’d risk his mortal body to take lightning strikes and the blame for him.

He was frank, fearless, passionate, and bold...

And Feng Yu’s thousand-year-old tricks, honed in the cutthroat world of officialdom, somehow failed every time against this unpredictable troublemaker.

What Feng Yu found most difficult to control was the way, when Yun Shu stood in front of him covered in blood and still refused to back down,

he began to crave that reckless, vibrant life...

-

Everyone at the bureau knew that the playboy Young Master Yun Shu had been acting strangely lately.

He no longer came in late or left early, his reports were neatly written, and he even showed up for shifts he hated most.

Had someone possessed him?!

At that very moment, the allegedly possessed young master had his superior cornered in the parking garage, demanding answers.

“You sent my report back three times to make me rewrite it on purpose?”

Feng Yu calmly straightened his cuffs. “The formatting was wrong. Also, your handwriting is ugly.”

“Why did you make me help that old lady ask the spirits a question?”

“Showing care for a lonely senior.”

Yun Shu laughed in exasperation. “Then why am I stuck with all the night shifts?”

“Because you called me at three in the morning and made me get up so you could go back to sleep.”

So it had all been childish revenge from a certain someone!

Yun Shu flew into a rage and swore bitterly that he and Feng Yu would be sworn enemies forever!
