Ever since Shen Weixie ran into his ex-boyfriend, whom he hadn't seen in five years, strange things kept happening around him.
Outside a bar, Shen Weixie had just turned down a room key from a strange man and was about to share a story about his love life when he looked up and saw Ji Yingqiao standing across from him, watching quietly.
Shen Weixie was startled. "...Where did this ghost come from?"
One night, Shen Weixie came down with a fever and vaguely felt someone holding him tightly from behind. The next morning, though, the sheets beside him were perfectly neat, and a steaming breakfast had appeared on the dining table.
Shen Weixie sighed, rubbing his forehead. "...I must be hallucinating from the fever."
Then one day, Ji Yingqiao pinned him against the door and bit his lip until it bled. Licking away the bead of blood, he asked:
"If your boyfriend treats you so badly, why can't I have a chance?"
Shen Weixie: "A good horse doesn't eat the grass it left behind."
The man held the back of his head and smiled slowly, his breath hot. "That's all right. I'd even be willing to be your lover."
Shen Weixie stared at him, eyes wide. "???"
Is this really the Ji Yingqiao I know?!
"The day before we broke up, I saw a photograph at an exhibition. It had been shot with a slow shutter speed, and everything was warped and distorted. The people in it had lost the forms they once had."
"Only then did I suddenly realize how ridiculous everything I'd insisted on back then had been. I was so stubbornly determined to make the moments we loved each other last longer, but all I did was make us unrecognizable to each other."
His last shred of composure was crumbling. Ji Yingqiao gave a laugh, his voice hoarse. "So, are you going to break up with me again, Shen Weixie?"
"No. I love you, Ji Yingqiao."
You taught me the true meaning of a slow shutter speed:
The true blending of two souls, an enduring hope in the midst of hazy uncertainty.
"No one has ever truly entered my heart the way you have. So even after five years, after 1,825 days, I still can't forget you."
A story about a male ghost and a succubus.

Happy ending
Reader's note:
1. The bottom has had several relationships, but is sexually inexperienced. Both the top and bottom are sexually and emotionally faithful to each other.
2. After they separated, neither of them dated anyone else.
3. The story will most likely use flashbacks. P/N will be marked at the start of chapters.
4. I'll publish it once the entire story is written, probably in August. Thank you to everyone who's saved it. Please wait a little longer.
