Cheng Xihe was born in a poor mountain village. She was betrothed as a child to the village chief's son and grew up wanting for nothing. Her handsome fiance was so stunning he outshone the sun and moon, and every girl in the village envied her.
But only Cheng Xihe knew that her fiance wasn't human…
She dealt with the evil spirit cautiously, never daring to let on that she knew. Turning love and tenderness into a blade, she finally pushed him into a dry well and escaped.
In the countless dreams that followed, she saw not his disbelieving eyes, but his cold corpse.
He held her hand, panting and wandering restlessly. An icy coldness seeped through her skin and into her heart, and Cheng Xihe felt as if she were turning into a corpse too.
"It's so cold at the bottom of the well. Hold me, please…" He looked up, revealing his dark eyes, and whispered, "Come back soon… We're all waiting for you."

Cheng Xihe thought she had long since escaped the shadows of her childhood and started a new life.
But her increasingly vivid dreams, her ever more painful heart, and the familiar figures around her all reminded her: You never truly escaped…
"Xihe, I miss you so much. Come back when you've had enough of playing. Come back to my side, and we'll be together forever, in every life."
"Am I going to die?"
Xu Huai smiled tenderly. "Everyone dies. Death can't separate us. It'll only bring us closer."
But what if I don't want to die?
Cheng Xihe looked at his malicious gaze and thought: People die, and ghosts die too. I'll come back, find your weakness, tame you, kill you, and get away from you…

Xu Huai had known since childhood that he was different from other people. His parents put on a show of loving him while being deeply afraid of him. They probably didn't know that they trembled every time they hugged him.
But his parents weren't completely useless. At least, they found him a cute fiancee.
Sweet Xihe, innocent Xihe, beautiful Xihe… Her smile, her tears, her frown, her radiant grin… Every one of them made his heart race.
Even the way she lied left him utterly fascinated.
This is my wife, the beloved who will stay by my side forever. We're so perfectly matched that no one can ever separate us.
Xihe, no one can ever separate us…
