Teacher Shen Yanchuan of the Physics Department is famous around campus for his terrifying fail rate and striking good looks. Students privately call him the Jade-Faced King of Hell.
But according to rumor, Professor Shen is completely henpecked.
He leaves department dinners by eight, turns down every invitation from friends to go drinking or play cards, and changes his clothes at once if he accidentally gets smoke on them.
When people ask why, he just rubs the ring on his left ring finger and says, "The one at home wouldn't be happy."
The protagonist's friend always falls silent after hearing that.
He once saw the protagonist burning with a fever, his face flushed, lying in a huge bed covered with his wife's clothes. Clutching a framed photograph of her, he murmured in a pleading voice:
"Come into my dreams. Let me see you..."

In the fourth year after his wife died, the cat they had raised together passed away too.
Looking at his empty home, the protagonist decided to die.
But whenever he was about to do it...
The bathroom faucet suddenly started spraying water.
The TV began playing his wife's favorite movie.
A piano note she used to play rang out from the locked music room.
The protagonist had always been afraid of ghosts, but when he realized something was wrong, he grew feverishly excited. He spoke into the deathly still room, trembling: "Baby, is that you?"
"If you don't answer by the time I count to ten, I'll come find you down there."
The next second, his dead wife appeared before him, her face as bright and beautiful as ever, and pinched him hard in the waist. "You stingy thing, and you still have the nerve to come looking for me..."
"I sent you a dream asking you to burn me a few pictures of your abs. Why didn't you?"
An everyday-life story focused on the two of them. If that's not your thing, please proceed with caution.
