Hello dear readers! This story has a non-linear narrative, so be a little patient while reading. I promise you’ll love this one. Enjoy!
1.
I am a ghost.
It’s only been a few hours since I died.
Actually, I’ve done a good job of accepting this fact. But when I returned from Naihe bridge full of rage to find that jerk Su Yu… he passed through my body, opened the door with a key, and walked right in.
I couldn’t help but freeze for a moment.
Fuck!
Imagine that I heard the news and flung Meng Po’s soup away in rage scaring everyone in line behind me, only to be very depressed now.
….If this sonofabitch can’t see me, why did I bother returning?
2.
Oh, yes, should I introduce myself first?
3.
My name is… Forget about it. It makes no difference what it is. I’m a brand-new ghost. I was only 26 years old when I died. My death was not the result of a melodramatic plot. It was an illness, a seemingly insignificant but incurable illness.
I’d been waiting for several hours by the Naihe bridge, and it was finally my turn. I had just taken the bowl from Meng Po when the imp behind me said something to me. I was so pissed-off that I threw away Grandma Meng’s fucking soup and turned around with a vengeance.
Su Yu is tying the knot.
On the day of my touqi.
4.
Su Yu and I have a very complicated relationship.
To put it simply, he was a senior high school classmate of mine. To be completely honest, he is my first love.
To be more specific, that enticing dog is my ex-boyfriend.
To put it another way, we were fuck buddies. In other words, I’ve been very generous to him as a sugar daddy. I was the first to come out and say it out loud at the time. That dog raised his brows and then agreed gladly.
Closer still, he was the person who accompanied me during the final days of my life.
In fact, based on this last bit of friendship, I shouldn’t have returned to find him. I also understand that whether or not he marries has nothing to do with me.
But I am enraged. I’m so enraged that my non-existent lungs are about to explode.
But why?
It’s a question I can’t figure out.
5.
I’ve been thinking about it since I got back from Naihe bridge. I believe it is because I am a ghost of integrity and justice. He is unworthy of that girl.
After all, he had shared meals and lived with me these past couple of years. He never even brought up the subject of marriage with her. How could he have been such a bad husband?!
It’s too much. That’s why I’m upset.
That has to be it.

Su Yu had already walked into the house. I looked around, but there was no sign of Huang Quan. When I rushed over, I was too angry and forgot to memorize the road. I can’t go back, so I’ll just follow the dog into the house.

He was mixing my medicine powder at the time. I can’t remember the name of the medicine; all I remember is its extreme bitterness.
He opened the cabinet door and mixed it with the juice, then shook the glass with his slender, white fingers, and handed it to the side: Today it’s apple flavored.
That tableau appears to be right in front of my eyes. He seemed genuinely worried.
And now I was swaying uncontrollably on the porch, staring at the unchanged house.
——Damn, if I knew this dog was going to marry on my touqi, I would’ve burned this house down and lived in it rather than leave it to him.
7.
Su Yu checked his watch after entering the house. It was ten minutes to five.
Then he went inside and I was like a super Terrier guarding the territory, rushing to every corner of the house and keenly sniffing every corner.
On the table, there’s still a picture of us. That’s good. He didn’t change it to one with his fiancee.
My cherished Xiaobai model is still standing by the wall with grace. Very good, he was not afraid of scaring the girl away.
The house is still decorated in the black, white, and gray shades that I like. Excellent. He didn’t put double happiness on the walls.
Wait a minute.
Why hasn’t he moved the pen I had placed on the desk before?
Huh?
Why hasn’t he thrown away the bag of potato chips I’d opened so long ago?
8.
I was perplexed as I looked around the room, which had not changed since I had left.
And then I abruptly and completely awoke to reality.
Su Yu’s family is well-off and he was previously employed in a good company. There’s no need to use my house as a wedding home. When it came to my belongings that hadn’t been moved, perhaps they simply didn’t take care of them when they were cleaning up.
I was relieved, but I also felt a little empty. As a ghost, I was far too depressed and moody. So I looked around the room, trying to divert my attention. When I turned around, there was a picture of us on the table.
The photo was taken during our senior year of high school. It was the first time we skipped school to watch a boring basketball game. I smiled like a fool in the photo. Su Yu’s face remained expressionless, as if frozen by frost.
But I have to say that this type of guy is very popular with women. They have never stopped sending him love letters and gifts since high school.
The two people in the photo were standing close together, the guy with the frosty face being hugged by the one with the sunny smile. They looked intimate, as if they would never part.
Who would have guessed that the two people in the photograph were in the same room at the same time but were separated by life and death, the deepest gulf in the world?
I’ve been very accepting of my fate since the moment I breathed my last, but I couldn’t help but feel a little sad at this point.
9.
Su Yu’s phone’s alarm went off at ten o’clock sharp.
When I heard the familiar bell, I took a subconscious glance at the open kitchen. Su Yu was already standing there.
He opened the cupboard as usual and took out the medicine with a name I couldn’t pronounce in one breath. He dissolved it in warm water, and then he took the juice from the cupboard and mixed it in a one-to-one ratio. His slender, attractive fingers shook the glass and handed it to the side.
Well, today is Wednesday, so it must be strawberry flavored.
I went to pick it up happily but my hand passed through Su Yu’s hand. I was like fog and couldn’t touch anything.
I was stunned.
Su Yu remained silent. He said his usual “Drink slowly” and then placed the glass where I frequently sat restlessly.
I assumed he was similar to me. It was just a habit and I waited for him to embarrass himself. However, two minutes later, he picked up the glass again and said: No wonder it’s clean. It’s strawberry flavored.
Like he has said countless times.
The medicine was then poured into the sink.
I was stunned again.
Fuck.
Didn’t I die? Why did my heart suddenly hurt so much?
And this classmate, do you know that a box of imported medicine costs tens of thousands?
10.
Forget it. Although the medicine is expensive, it’s not like Su Yu can drink it himself. Pour it if you want.
It’s just that at the end of the day, I had a friendship with him. Now I’m concerned about this classmate’s mental health.
Before I died, I asked him what he would do when I died.
I was concerned about it at the time because I had a sliver of conscience left. What would he do if he was used to being a sugar baby for me and couldn’t make a living after I died? Wouldn’t I have ruined a fine young man?
Su Yu was engaged in a game at the time. When he heard my question, he looked up and gave it some serious thought. He suggested that he’d find another sugar daddy.
I lamented in my heart: Oh no, I have ruined him.
But I don’t think Su Yu is as bright as he appears. His school certificates, college certificates, and awards, when combined, have the potential to kill people. Someone with such a brilliant mind should realize that there aren’t many gold owners like me who are willing to support him with all of their wealth and with a short life.
I later overheard his former boss addressing him. He sounded as if he wanted him to return to work. He talked a lot about his promotion and raise in pay.
Su Yu was smoking on the balcony at the time. It was thick with smoke and he stood in it as if he were a great immortal. His muffled voice came in with the sultry midsummer breeze: I don’t want to think about it right now. Let’s discuss it later.
I knew there would still be a show as soon as I heard the words “right now.” So I didn’t ask him any questions.
However, it appears that he intends to return to work after the wedding and honeymoon.
Refusing the marriage leave offered by the boss, was he stupid?!
11.
I pondered for a moment as I looked at his very calm back.
We had broken up for many years when we began our “sweet” relationship. Following the principle that “a qualified ex will die in the other party’s address book,” neither of us had contacted the other in the intervening years, as if the other party had never existed in our lives.
Finding him again was a little embarrassing. I was a hypocritical man of a certain age. I slapped the shoddy “maintenance” contract on his chest, raised my brows, and said arrogantly while looking very cool and handsome, “I need your kidneys, not your heart.”
Because he was reading my diagnosis, he ignored me.
The thin and long fingers with distinct joints were trembling.
I laughed at him. How could people in their twenties get Parkinson’s disease?
He didn’t lift his head for a long time before saying “shut up” quietly.
He was a little ferocious.
He wasn’t that ferocious when we broke up.
Tut, was this how he addressed his sugar daddy?
Su Yu later agreed to the shoddy agreement, which was a win-win situation. I hadn’t saved much money over the years, but I do have some. I have a house in the city center for him that would cover his annual salary for the next two years. I went to the photocopy shop specifically to make two copies at the time. I didn’t leave anything out.
Su Yu was icy as usual.
Su Yu can be a tough guy at times, but in general, he will not break his promise.
We agreed to refrain from allowing our emotions to play a role. We could enter the liver, spleen, lung, and kidney, but not the heart.
So I was quite relieved to leave when I died.
But now I think it was a little too soon to be confident.
He’s getting married and still giving me medicine. Is it difficult for him to completely get rid of me?
Is this how Chongxi works??
12.
Su Yu went on to play games after finishing cleaning up the medicine. He was completely unaware that there was another person in the house.
Oh, no, ghost.
I didn’t get in front of the computer because I don’t know how to play games. Normally, at this time, I should be paralyzed on the sofa, watching dramas and reading novels on my tablet. But because I can’t touch anything right now, I can only sway around the room aimlessly. I ran to the living room after swaying for a while and becoming bored, to see Xiaobai stare at me with big eyes.
Xiaobai is a skeleton, tall and strong but lean, standing 180cm tall without the hook. It was a male model, and it was my treasure.
I’m not a pervert; I’m a doctor.
Isn’t it ironic that a doctor was unable to save himself?
Actually, it’s a good thing that I’ve studied medicine and that I’m more open about death than most people. For example, when I received the diagnosis from my teacher, my hands did not tremble in the same way that Su Yu’s did.
Parkinson’s disease at such a young age. Tut, he’s no better than me.
I reached out and poked the skeleton’s cheekbones: “I’m finally taller than you, Xiaobai. I can now be as tall as I want. I have the ability to change shapes!”
Xiaobai ignored me.
I poked a few more times “You’ve been in my house for a long time. I’m curious what you’ll look like once your nerves and muscles have been restored. You should be handsome based on your bones.”
Xiaobai continued to ignore me.
I poked again: “Anyway, not as handsome as Xiaoye .”
“Victory——!”
The female voice sounded like thunder, and it made me shiver with fear.
Su Yu, this dog, had won the game and had taken out the headset!
The next thing I knew, my entire body was sinking, heavier than when I was a human. Something was attached to my nape. I felt like a piece of meat hanging at the supermarket.
The angle of view shifted dramatically, altering the orientation of what I could see.
I was stunned for a half-minute before reacting.
—I’m fucking attached to this skeleton!

Did you like the first chapter? I love this story. (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) Hope you like it as well.
My fav: No. 9 Them feels ╥﹏╥
oooh, this looks interesting! i’ll follow this story~
definitely interested to see how this turns out
thanks for the chapter <3
First chapter, already been feeding dog food and just a guess… Is Su Yu getting a ghost marriage with our MC?
I think it’s a ghost marriage too!
That’s also my guess!
Sooo interesting!!! Thank you for sharing this novel!! ❤️
Camping~ camping~
I’m definitely camping here. The new ghost sure do have a very complicated mindset.
well… What a Twist!!!
thanks for the chapter~
Oho~ Interesting!
Your brain has parkinson too xDD
Well, it looks good so far, count me in and thx for the ch ٩( >ヮ<)۶
Man I started crying from a first chapterಥ_ಥ
Same QAQ the moment Su Yu went “drink slowly”
omg this is so freakin’ interesting!! and idk if i’m right but i have my guess on whom would the ‘scum’ ex boyfriend will be married~ eya. thank u for the chapter!!
Wow, the wording tho. Can enter liver, spleen, kidney but not heart. This….aiya! Another story another heartbreak.
imagine if su yu is actually getting married to mc, but mc doesnt know it;;
Very interesting. Thank you
Being a ghost sounds pretty difficult and boring. Lucky for him to get a new “body”. His ex sure is pitiful, he must have loved him dearly to be so shaken over the diagnosis. 😥
Glad to start this after translation is done, can binge in one go! Totally sure that Su Yu still likes MC. I’m guessing the wedding Su Yu has is with MC? MC is either dense thinking that Su Yu have Parkinson’s disease since his hand shakes when he got the diagnosis or MC is adding humour to hide his feeling. Thanks for working hard on the translation~
So, they were in a real relationship when they were in school but they broke up? Then when MC found out he had Parkinson’s, he found Su Yu to have a sugar daddy/baby relationship with and basically let Su Yu care for him?
Before reading: this Su Yu must be a scum.
After reading the first chapter: Su Yu loves MC and just being a tsundere! He is more hurt than MC after they knew that MC has illness! 😭😭💔💔 Su Yu must be holding a ghost wedding!
P.S.: I didn’t expect that last part! 😮😮😮 this should be definitely exciting!
Why is this guy so hellbent on thinking that his e has parkinsons?? T_T
Me rereading this just cuz.
I thought this is a funny story of a little shou literally reading ghost stories on his ex boyfriend’s wedding😭😭😭 boy I got it wrong and I am crying buckets as early as he described the house was the same as it used to be when he’s still alive. I understood it too clearly, I’m dying of sadness 😭😭😭😭
Why do I feel sad although it’s trying to make the atmosphere lighthearted
