Name: The Entire Supernatural World Is Betting on How Many Days I'll Survive
Author: Surrounded by Cats

Synopsis

After failing his tribulation, Shen Qingxian transmigrated to a world thousands of years in the future and lost his memories.

But even though he had lost his memories, he still had an obsession lodged in his mind.

He had a wife. She was gentle as water, beautiful as a flower, and especially fond of wearing red. He had to find her right away.

After all, he was in a rather unfortunate place: a haunted office building.

Inside, Shen Qingxian expressionlessly smacked a female ghost who tried to scare him by popping up in his face with a file folder, sending her back into her cubicle. He asked every ghost he saw, "Have you seen my wife?"

The ghosts: "...?"

Where had this lunatic come from? They couldn't beat him, and they couldn't scare him, either!

Also, there was no wife who liked wearing red, but there was a male ghost who did. Would he do?

Then Shen Qingxian really did run into the male ghost in the building who liked wearing red.

The ghosts: "Fight! Fight! Fight!!!"

They did start fighting, but why did it look more like flirting?

Shen Qingxian knew something was off the moment he laid eyes on the man.

Why did he have his wife's aura?

Then, looking at the incredibly powerful male ghost in front of him, Shen Qingxian instantly imagined a whole dramatic tale. He glared at him with grief and indignation, as if to say, "You must have kidnapped my wife!"

The male ghost, inexplicably blamed: "...?"

He looked at the other's pale face, the sword point trembling as it aimed at him, and the mouth that wouldn't stop accusing him of locking his wife away.

After a few seconds of silence, he did something astonishing.

He yanked the man into his arms and sealed his lips with a kiss.

Shh, quiet, little mouth.

Shen Qingxian: "?!!!"

This lecher had actually molested him, too!!!

-

Everyone in the supernatural world knew you shouldn't mess with the man living in that haunted office building.

He was ruthless and bad-tempered, practically the living King of Hell.

Oh, right, he also liked wearing red.

No one knew where he came from. They only knew that he had appeared out of nowhere a few years ago.

But recently, a sickly beauty who looked like a fresh-faced college student had suddenly appeared by his side.

The beauty also asked everyone he met, "Have you seen my wife?"

Before long, everyone was betting on how many days the beauty would survive.

Instead, they saw the living King of Hell grumble impatiently while arranging every detail of the beauty's life, making sure he didn't suffer the slightest bit. He even helped him look for that so-called wife.

All the monsters, demons, and ghosts: "Huh?"

"Is this really the living King of Hell we know?"

Then one day, Shen Qingxian's memories returned.

He looked at the chaos caused by his search for his so-called wife.

The living King of Hell sneered. "A wife in red?"

"Do you think I fit the bill?"

Shen Qingxian: "..."

"Scum Gong Begs Me to Burn Him at the Crematorium"

Shen Jingxue, the greatest con artist in the martial world, had countless secret identities.

He targeted the rich and powerful, made off with mountains of gold and silver, then vanished without a trace.

There were three things he never did: cheat the poor, cheat the old, or deceive someone who loved him sincerely.

Until he met Xie Hanyi.

That night, flames soared into the sky. The white-robed young master was as gentle as jade, his brows and eyes like the moon.

He said, "A-Xue, I'll take you home."

Shen Jingxue laughed until he doubled over, thinking, Where did this lecher come from? What a corny way to hit on someone.

And yet, he really did go home with him.

Only later did he understand what going home meant.

It meant being sent off in a bridal sedan, delivered into the imperial palace, and helping him claim the throne through a conspiracy from within and without.

And in the end, becoming a discarded pawn.

When they met again, Shen Jingxue wore a purple robe and jade belt. He was the new ruler's "Father of the Chancellor," The Outcast, second only to one and above all others.

Xie Hanyi was a wanted "traitorous rebel." Shackled and stumbling as he walked,

his iron chains had worn his wrists raw and white, yet he raised his eyes and smiled tenderly. "A-Xue, it's been a while."

Shen Jingxue lifted his chin with the tip of his shoe, his hem brushing over one scar after another.

His voice was as soft as falling snow. "Xie Hanyi, look at you now."

Xie Hanyi coughed up a mouthful of blood, then suddenly reached out.

His bloodstained hand trembled as it cradled the tip of Shen Jingxue's shoe,

as though holding a crescent moon reflected in water, ready to shatter at any moment.

"A-Xue." He laughed softly, his voice hoarse.

"I've dirtied your shoe... Why don't you punish me?"

He was willing to be a prisoner, a demon, the most worthless dust at Shen Jingxue's feet.

All he wanted was for that person to lower his eyes to him again, even if only for a single glance.
