My Ghostly Boyfriend [Infinite]

Ji Ke is a renowned master in District 13 of City C.

Of course, in private, the master has another identity: a con artist.

One day, a powerful figure from District 1 came to her with a request to contact the dead.

There were plenty of other strange people at the scene. Ji Ke thought she could pull her usual trick and get a free meal and a little cash, but that night, strange things began happening all over the manor.

Well, looks like the competition is really putting in the effort!

But in the darkness, a gentle yet eerie voice floated beside her ear. "A Ke..."

Why did that voice sound so familiar? A chill ran through her, but she didn't think much of it.

The séance ended in failure, but Ji Ke happily counted the money she'd earned.

After that, more and more strange things began happening around her.

Whenever she bathed, it seemed there was always a pair of eyes staring feverishly at her from the mirror behind the swirling steam.

Late at night, an icy sensation crept up from her feet, as if a greedy hand had seized her ankle.

On rainy nights, half asleep and half awake, she could feel someone holding her tightly from behind. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free, and she could barely breathe.

The master con artist decided to hire another master to drive away the evil spirits, but the fee was outrageous, and the pitch sounded all too familiar. She turned and left at once.

"The spirit is an old acquaintance. His obsession remains unresolved. If you want to put it to rest..."

Hah, you think you can fool me? She scoffed.

If it wasn't going to kill her, she could just pretend nothing was happening. Con artist Ji Ke went right on diligently scamming people and raking in the cash.

Three days later, a haggard Ji Ke learned that the spirit they'd tried to contact that night was none other than Zhao Yining, her ex-boyfriend, whom she'd abruptly dumped three years ago.

Not long after they broke up, Zhao Yining's entire family was brutally slaughtered.

He himself had fallen to his death, clutching a stack of her photographs. Blood soaked through her youthful, smiling face in the pictures.

Beneath his body was an eerie six-pointed star, stained red with blood, looking just like the site of an evil ritual.

Ji Ke: ...

Master, save me! Is it still in time to spend a fortune on an exorcism?

P.S.

1. A slightly funny, mildly frightening horror story.

2. Both leads are each other's only partners, one-on-one romance, happy ending.
