Why Does My Arch-Enemy Keep Hugging My Coffin?

Ni Kun died on a quiet, unremarkable night.

Poisoned wine burned down his throat, and black blood soaked his clothes. He stared with his eyes open as he breathed his last. When he awoke again, he had become a lowly servant in his enemy's household.

Yu Yunkui was a rising star at court, a pillar of the emperor's realm.

Everyone knew how ruthless he was. It was said that he had personally wiped out a stronghold of the previous dynasty's remnants, and even lifted the coffin lid of his former master, Ni Kun, to examine the body three times.

But no one knew that late at night, this general would always keep watch beside the coffin, murmuring to himself:

"How can you keep leaving me behind, again and again? If you really come back to life, this time I'll make sure you can't even beg to die."

Ni Kun (with a cold laugh): What a coincidence. I was thinking the same thing.

Ni Kun crouches on the roof, eavesdropping as his enemy pours out his "hatred."

Yu Yunkui (melancholy): "I hate Ni Kun to the bone. I dream about him all the time. In my dreams, I pin him down, undo his xx, then put my xx in his xx..."

Ni Kun (crushing a roof tile): ...You call that hate?!
