ML is Third Master Ye? Isn't enshrining the ashes like taking care of your hubby's ashes or something like that? Thank you @alexfilia for the poke!!
Looking at the summary, horror seems to be misleading. MC using powerful, demon-looking ML to haunt himself to stop the pesty spirits from bothering him. Fighting poison with poison.
Slogging my way through MTL. So far: -MC is bona fide spirit bait. ML is his ticket to safety since he's a 'demonic' sort of spirit and repels the kind of spirit that MC doesn't want stalking him -MC conned the family into giving him ML's ashes by using the 'we were classmates/acquaintances' reason. MC is actually quite respectful to the ashes and sets up a mini-shrine in his house (part instructions by the Daoist priest, part MC having good manners) -MC is happy that the darker spirits are staying away, but hasn't noticed at all how ML's spirit is growing more defined -- an actual shape/corporeal rather than just a fuzzy dark blob And to answer who asked about the ending -- it's happy ending. MC and ML end up spending eternity together or something like that. Most of the horror is just because it's supernatural and you might get jump scares by MC seeing strange things (at least before ML) like his face in the mirror smiling creepily back at him when he's not smiling at the mirror at all.
I was also scared about the ending, as usual when we have a human/spirit romance, but thanks to the spoilers it seems I'll be putting this one on my list D.
181 chapters total. The main difficulty for MTL with this one is the names. They get translated to the weirdest things. For example: 'Late Yan' or 'Late Feast' = Chi Yan (MC) I'm not even going to try with ML's name lol. Also, ML is getting stronger. There was this scary evil spirit who wanted to make a move on MC, but he was clutching his pendant (one of instructions is for MC to carry around a tiny capsule/pendant with some of ML's ashes) and ML protected him. MC couldn't see (also doesn't know), but we as readers know that there was dark shape of ML hugging MC protectively in his arms. XD
i just want to know is it super scary ?? bc i got scared when reading Shuisheng Didi, and keep looking at my back to make sure there;s nothing behind. i was reading it at night, so
I just MTL'd that part. It was so cute! But why can't MC see our ML? Because he's not ghost? I just read this part where MC went out with his friend and he licked his spoon out of habit. Did the ML licked along? because he said the cheese is cold(?)
It's modern and supernatural? SIGN ME UP! * sets up camp * Also, does anyone have the raws? Because why not
