Arc 9: Chapater 1 

When Lin Yuan finally saw the two rabbit-shaped cakes in the freezer, he was heartbroken. He hugged and kissed his husband for a long, long time. 

When Jin Ran threw the cakes away, he was surprised that the only feeling was relief. 

He knew he finally was able to look away from yesterday and reach towards tomorrow. Some people were forced forward by time, but he was lucky to be supported by Lin Yuan, the person he loved the most. 

Afterwards, the two of them bought two fresh rabbit cakes. 

The rabbit cakes actually had many other uses. In the end, Lin Yuan barely ate anything, while Jin Ran ate most of it by smearing it all over him…

Finally, Jin Ran returned to work, and his change was obvious to everyone. Father Lin thought with relief that Jin Ran had finally healed from his grief. Except he later realized he was wrong when Jin Ran suddenly told him Lin Yuan was actually alive but he had lost his memory, and they were back together. 

There were so many twists and turns that Father Lin was speechless. At his old age, he could only wish the best for both of them and let them figure out their future themselves. 

The Lin enterprise was eventually handed over to Jin Ran to manage, but Jin Ran refused to take half of the shares, just like in the original world. 

Peaceful times flew by quickly. On Lin Yuan’s fortieth birthday, Lin Yuan lay in Jin Ran’s arms, listening to the strong heartbeat of the other party. 

Under the blanket of darkness, Jin Ran finally asked the question he had buried in his heart for a long time: “Sui Sui, why did you drive out that day?”

Lin Yuan stilled and tried to turn around, but Jin Ran tightened his hold: “Tell me, why did you try to die?”

The man’s body heat scalded Lin Yuan’s skin, burning him so much he wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to run away. 

After a long silence, Lin Yuan whispered: “I actually never lost my memories. Jin Ran, I liked you a long time ago…”

Jin Ran’s eyes widened in surprise. He never imagined that Lin Yuan had always remembered him and always liked him. This statement made Jin Ran feel like he was the luckiest man alive, and his life was completely fulfilled. 

He gently kissed Lin Yuan’s forehead and lips: “Me too. I liked you for a long, long time…”

Lin Yuan opened his eyes and saw a bustling crowd of lively teenagers and buildings like a university campus. Summer wind rustled branches and cicadas chirped incessantly. Just as Lin Yuan was about to read through the world plot, a handsome young man next to him suddenly wore a shocked expression: “Brother, run!”

Huh? Run? Why are we running? Lin Yuan obediently followed the boy, inwardly very confused. Simultaneously as he ran, he received the memories of the original body. 

Lin Yuan wasn’t just stunned, if he was still a furball, all of his hair would’ve exploded just like 521 was exploding now. 

The original plot was a sweet paranormal story. 

Paranormal!! Ghosts!!

The plot was quite simple. The protagonist was called Lin Wang, and his twin brother was called Lin Yuan. The twins both had extremely Yin constitution, and the Yin energy naturally attracted ghosts and demons. When they were born, many fierce ghosts and demons poured into the hospital to try and consume their Yin energy. 

Just in time, a peerless exorcist from the Xie family, Xie Daolan, came with support and subdued the group of evil spirits, saving the twins. Xie Daolan, gave each of the twins a jade pendant, which would ensure their safety until they turned eighteen. 

The plot began with the two brothers having just arrived at college.

Unlucky for them, they were exploring the city today when they encountered a ghost. 

Lin Yuan was losing his mind. He pedaled his legs as hard as he could, and the bottom of his feet felt like they were on fire. He almost started crying: “Ghost! There’s a ghost! Help, someone save me!! Husband, save me ahhhhh!!”

521 screamed even louder than him. 

Lin Wang thought his brother was scared silly, where did a ‘husband’ come from? He grabbed Lin Yuan’s arm and said: “Brother, you don’t need to run anymore.”

Lin Yuan didn’t believe it.

What kind of cruel joke was this? Why did he have to get sent to a world with ghosts plus having a constitution that attracted ghosts? Wuuuuu…

Tears streamed down Lin Yuan’s face and he broke free from Lin Wang’s hand, running away like a rabbit. 

Lin Wang chased after Lin Yuan from behind, trying to stop him: “Brother! Stop, it’s just an ordinary ghost, we’re already far enough. Why are you getting so worked up?”

Hearing the ghost was gone, Lin Yuan stopped in his tracks but he was still crying, his sobs turning into hiccups. He mumbled: “Just an ordinary ghost? Isn’t an ordinary ghost still a ghost?”

Lin Wang had never seen his brother so scared before and was a little speechless. He patted Lin Yuan’s shoulder to comfort him and said: “Okay, okay, since you’re scared, let’s not go shopping anymore and go home.”

Lin Yuan sniffled and nodded: “Okay.” 

There shouldn’t be ghosts in the house, right? He grabbed one of Lin Wang’s arms: “You lead me like this.”

If he can’t see anything, then he can’t be scared. 

Lin Wang was exasperated and soft towards this foolish older brother: “Fine, I’ll lead you.”

They got into a taxi, and Lin Yuan sat down with his eyes closed. He continued to read the rest of the plot. 

As the twins were about to turn eighteen, the jade pendant had a harder and harder time suppressing the extreme Yin energy in their bodies so they gradually saw more and more spiritual things.

On their eighteenth birthday, a ghost general who had been eyeing them for a long time devoured Lin Yuan’s Yin body the moment the jade pendant broke, and Lin Yuan died just like that.

But before the ghost general could eat Lin Wang, Lin Wang was saved by the protagonist gong, the Ghost Kind Yuan Ting, who had just broken his seal of a hundred years. 

Next, Lin Wang nourished Yuan Ting with his Yin energy while learning how to exorcise ghosts from the Xie family. 

The ghost general who grew stronger from eating Lin Yuan broke through to the level of Ghost King, and became the main villain of the original plot. 

At the end, Lin Wang killed the Ghost King, avenged his brother, and lived happily ever after with his ghost husband. 

This would’ve been a simple, sweet story if the Transmigration Department hadn’t involved themselves with this world, causing the plot to completely collapse. 

Now there were twelve Ghost Kings in this small world alone, and Ghost King Yuan Ting split into five, resulting in Lin Wan having five husbands, leading to various… chaotic situations. 

Lin Yuan’s mission target was also split, luckily only into three. One of them was a ghost king, and the other two were human. The mission target’s celestial soul was reincarnated as Xie Daolan; his terrestrial soul didn't reincarnate, lost its memory, and became the Ghost King Yu Jin; his human soul was reincarnated as Xiao Ying, a foolish son of the Xiao family, another exorcist family. t/n there are three Hun (三魂) aka souls that are believed to govern different aspects of a person's mind and character, departing the body at death to ascend

The blackening values on the screen gave Lin Yuan a big headache.

Xie Daoland’s value was at 50. Surprisingly, the Ghost King Yu Jin’s value was at 10, which was the lowest value among the three. And Xiao Ying’s value fluctuated constantly and there was never an exact value.

But Lin Yuan’s biggest worry was that it was inevitable he would have to see ghosts in the future. 

521 heard Lin Yuan’s worry and proposed: “Senior, the system shop has the prop Glasses of Illusion that can change your vision. But it can only last for twelve hours a day.”

Lin Yuan remembered that this prop was very expensive, requiring 20,000 points. It was also a scam, because the change was random. For example, you didn’t know if the change would be a lettuce head or a dinosaur, but it was still better than seeing a ghost. 

Lin Yuan didn’t hesitate anymore and bought the Glasses of Illusion. He put it on and opened his eyes, looking outside. 

Outside was two huge cucumbers floating in mid-air.

“....”

Two cu- no, two ghost kings!!

t/n HAPPY NEW YEARR!! best wishes for everyone in 2026 💛
