After Being Forced to Sign a Contract with the Ghost King

[Possessive, cold-faced, unhinged hero x cute, sexy, sunny heroine]

The Ghost King Xie Ran had a physical body that never decayed, even after ten thousand years. His soul could leave his body at any time, and he could control ghosts. He had long since transcended the mortal world.

He was exceptionally handsome, and Song Qimeng nearly fell for him on her very first night undercover.

On the first night, Xie Ran bathed as if no one else were there.

On the second night, Xie Ran made her, disguised as a robot, stand beside his bed all night.

On the third night, she was too tired to hold out and quietly yawned. A low voice suddenly sounded by her ear: "Want to join me?"

She immediately returned to her expressionless facade, only to hear him sneer, "You think I can't tell?"

In the next instant, the world spun around her. He laid her on the bed on her back, and Xie Ran filled her entire field of vision.

After being locked up for several days and put through all kinds of baffling tests, she pleaded for mercy with tearful eyes. "Ghost King, I've only been here three days. I haven't seen any secrets. Please let me go."

In truth, she thought the most valuable thing she had seen was Xie Ran's abs.

Xie Ran refused to let her go.

Staying by the Ghost King's side was dangerous, after all.

The first time Song Qimeng tried to escape, a ghost in the villa caught her. It was an old friend of Xie Ran's.

The second time, her escape seemed to go smoothly, but before long, someone caught her and brought her back. This time it was an old colleague of Xie Ran's.

The black cloth was lifted from her eyes. She looked at the handsome Xie Ran, tall and straight, and the curses on her lips abruptly stopped. She replaced them with a guilty, lovestruck smile.

Xie Ran watched her expression with amusement and lifted her chin. "I want you to..."

Song Qimeng was horrified. Already?

Xie Ran added, "Make a deal with me."

Their soul contract was sealed, and she helped him deal with all sorts of things, from crises to everyday matters.

When a man and a woman are alone together in one room, sparks are bound to fly.

It wasn't until she finally got a taste that Song Qimeng realized the truth: something that looks delicious isn't necessarily delicious.

Not only had Xie Ran's body stayed undecayed for ten thousand years, he also seemed to never get tired.

...She really couldn't take any more.

[Unhinged, possessive, scheming prince x stubborn, aloof, resilient transmigrated woman]

The first time Meng Qingzhi met Shen Baixu, she was the new bride of a general in the enemy camp.

Captured one day, she wore a red bridal veil and heard Shen Baixu draw his sword and calmly ask who was the general's most trusted person.

The people around her silently stepped back in unison, leaving Meng Qingzhi alone to face the blade.

Unwilling to accept this, she flung off her veil and argued her case. Her clear, composed phoenix eyes dazzled Shen Baixu.

Ignoring the rumors, Shen Baixu insisted on keeping her in the military camp. One day, after returning victorious, he had drunk some wine and, as if possessed, stumbled into her tent and lifted the curtain.

After a struggle, she fled with a bloodstained dagger in her hand. She traveled thousands of miles, changed her name, found a master, and roamed the world with him, enjoying a carefree life.

One day, she rescued a young lady and escorted her home. The old madam of the household took a liking to her at first sight, made her an honorary granddaughter, and treated her as an honored guest.

After staying in the household for over a month, she heard that the old madam's distant nephew was coming to visit. The old madam asked her to meet the guest.

The moment she stepped into the reception hall, the smile she had arranged on her face froze into ice.

The visitor wore white. Handsome and refined, he chatted with easy composure, then glanced toward her, his brow twitching.

She heard him say with a smile, "My aunt says I haven't married because I haven't met someone I like. In my opinion, this young lady is quite wonderful."

In the prince's mansion's torture chamber, Shen Baixu displayed one by one the portraits he had collected over the past six months and slowly asked, "So many men. Which one exactly is..."

He had meant to ask which one she was truly loyal to, but the words that came out were, "Your beloved."

Meng Qingzhi turned her face away in disgust. "Take your filthy hands off me. Is this really necessary for an interrogation?"

Shen Baixu chuckled. "Ordinary suspects, no. But you're different."

He ripped open his clothes. The scar on his left shoulder was still visible. He touched her shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Tell me, should I leave a scar in the same place on you?"
