The Ghost King Bound the Villainess System

[Explosive-strength, short-tempered Ghost King bottom x Abstinent-seeming, secretly unhinged CEO top]

The Ghost King Yin Xuan was pinned down like a porcupine by eighty-one Soul-Calming Nails, driven into him by four rebel generals working together. Only his mouth could move.

He thought this was the most humiliating thing that could ever happen in his life as a ghost, until an emotionless mechanical voice suddenly rang in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have been bound to the hottest "Villainess System" of the moment.]

"Villainess? Open your damn eyes! I'm a man!" Yin Xuan roared.

System: [Don't worry about gender! Just complete the missions! For each mission you complete, you'll unlock one Soul-Calming Nail...??...What the hell are Soul-Calming Nails? What's going on with this Host? Did I bind the wrong person?]

The System was a little scrambled.

"You will not control me! Get out of my sea of consciousness at once!" Yin Xuan thundered.

System: [Friendly reminder: refusing a mission will cost you life points. When your life points reach zero, you'll die for good!]

Yin Xuan had lived for ten thousand years and ruled over life, death, and reincarnation. He had never imagined that one day something would threaten him with "dying for good."

For a moment, he was at a loss for words.

After entering a book called The Real and Fake Heiresses: The CEO's Substitute Bride, Yin Xuan looked at his own reflection: his height of six foot one, his strikingly male features, and the row of lace dresses and high heels in the original owner's closet. He fell silent for a full three minutes.

"Why do I still look like myself? Wasn't I supposed to be a woman?"

System: [Maybe there's a bug? Don't worry about the details. Please complete your first mission: sabotage the male and female leads' first meeting.]

Yin Xuan went to the place where the leads were supposed to meet, summoned the surrounding ghosts, and made them create a ghostly maze.

Sure enough! The male and female leads were right beside each other, but couldn't see one another at all.

System: [Host! What are you doing?]

Yin Xuan gave a sinister grin. "Just tell me, did they manage to meet or not?"

System: [...Forget it. Mission two: fall down the stairs and frame the female lead.]

As soon as he heard that, Yin Xuan leaped from the second-floor balcony into the garden, landing neatly in front of the male lead.

The male lead stared at Yin Xuan in astonishment, then gave him a thumbs-up. "Impressive moves, hero!"

System: [I told you to frame the female lead, not show off your skills!]

"You never said how I had to do it!" Yin Xuan protested.

System: [Mission three: splash wine on the female lead's dress at a party and humiliate her in front of everyone.]

Yin Xuan thought the mission was lame and didn't want to get involved, so he used ghostly energy to make a wine bottle splash the female lead from across the room.

The guests saw the bottle flying through the air and screamed as they fled. Soon, only the male lead remained at the party, staring at Yin Xuan.

System: [Mission three: lock the female lead in a restroom stall so she misses her interview at the male lead's company.]

Yin Xuan sent his little ghost underlings to block the door. They couldn't read the restroom signs, and ended up trapping Yin Xuan and the male lead in the men's room.

System: [Mission four: steal something from the male lead and frame the female lead.]

Yin Xuan gave the little ghosts another chance to steal something from the male lead. What they brought back was the male lead's underwear...

System: [Mission N: climb into the male lead's bed and let the female lead catch you.]

Yin Xuan tampered with the male lead's drink, watched him down it, and waited eagerly for him to lose control so he could stage a ghostly seduction.

But Yin Xuan was the one who lost control. His whole body burned with restless desire. Grabbing the male lead by the collar, he asked in a breathless voice, "How did you do that?"

The male lead smiled slightly and tossed Yin Xuan onto the bed. "You're not the only one with a System..."
