Cloud and Mist Run Wild

A transparent little ghost-official in the Underworld for a hundred years × A wealthy young master whose body hasn’t even gone cold.

An unromantic, straight-as-steel gong × A scheming, outwardly innocent but inwardly black-bellied shou.

Yi Si, a minor ghost-official in the Underworld, harbors unrealistic fantasies about the human world. His only wish is to accumulate enough merit to be reborn into a good family.

Yet after two hundred years of service, he hasn’t managed to catch a single ghost. Just as he’s gearing himself up, a silly boy named Gu Yunwu shows up to ask him for directions.

Xiao Gu: “Excuse me, young master, how do I get back to the human world?”

Yi Si: “You’re dead as dead can be. What’s the point of going back?”

Xiao Gu: “To claim a life… oh no, of course, to visit my dear family and friends.”

Yi Si immediately drags him off.

Xiao Si: “Lord Yama, I caught one trying to escape.”

Xiao Gu: “Injustice! All I said was that I wanted to visit family and friends.”

Xiao Si: “Nonsense! Since when do dead souls casually go home?”

Xiao Gu: “Today is my seventh-day memorial.”

Xiao Si: “…”

Yi Si is a blockhead who doesn’t understand romance. One day, he happens to capture a very good-looking little ghost. That ghost, unloved by both father and mother, stirs Yi Si’s sympathy—he just can’t leave him alone anymore.

From then on, the little ghost falls deeply, desperately in love.

But Xiao Si only thinks: Ah, this little brother is truly a good person.

Gu Yunwu: “…”

Loving a block of wood unrequitedly is really exhausting.
