    Summary

    "The house is beautiful. It’ll need a little bit of work, but it has a lot of character.” Xie Lian accepted the keys when she offered them, turning the ring thoughtfully between his fingers. “I still don’t know why the previous owner abandoned it.”

    The realtor’s smile faltered almost imperceptibly. She shifted her weight and glanced toward the house before hesitantly looking back at him. “The house has been on the market for years,” she said carefully. “I couldn’t tell you why the last owner left, but it appears the house has a high turnover rate.” Her fingers tightened slightly around the clipboard tucked against her side. “Once someone moves in, they don’t stay for very long.”

    Summary

    He lifted his gaze, meeting the dark obsidian eye staring back at him. The man before him was striking, handsome in a way that caught Xie Lian off guard. Long inky black hair fell around his face in a slightly messy wolfcut, the uneven layers softening the sharpness of his features. A single red coral pearl earring hung from his right ear, vivid against the dark strands, while a white bandage eyepatch rested over his right eye.

    The man flashed a devilish grin, catching Xie Lian completely off guard. His gaze lingered before he could stop it, tracing over the sharp lines of the man’s face, the flash of perfect teeth behind that grin, and the sliver of bare skin visible where his shirt had fallen open while bent over.

    Xie Lian moved to speak, only to realize the steamed bun was still caught between his lips.

    Summary

    Hua Cheng took a step towards the bed and leaned closer, his inky eyes studying him closely. After a moment he sighed and flopped on the bed next to him, a hand lazily reaching up to Xie Lian's head and scratching it gently.

    "Who am I kidding, we both know I'm going to keep you. I don't even get why...there's just something about you that won't let me throw you out the door."

    Unable to say anything Xie Lian tilted his head slightly and watched as the corner of the ghost's thin lips arched a little. It was such an endearing look.

    or

    Xie Lian is turned into a ferret by a curse and gets adopted by an unaware Hua Cheng. The ghost turns out to be very doting, exceptionally charming and severely starved for talking about a mysterious lost beloved of his.

    Summary

    Xie Lian held up the flyer, and squinted at it through the eye-holes of his mask. Beneath the words ‘Join the Selection! Be the Ghost King’s Bride!’ the sweeping eaves rendered in wobbly black ink matched the silhouette of the building in the distance. Paradise Manor. The Ghost King’s home.
