4.9/5
The volume was so incredibly cute! Lin Feiran and Gu Kaifeng were just sickeningly sweet to each other throughout the whole thing; I couldn't get enough of them.
Lin Feiran is such a sweetheart! His kindness and compassion for ghosts, and his desire to help them move on, really warmed my heart.
Gu Kaifeng is so cheeky! The love he has for Lin Feiran reminds me a little of Hua Cheng. He isn't afraid of who he loves, will protect him no matter what, and has such devotion.
⚠️Major Spoilers Ahead!!>⚠️
Lin Feiran activated Gu Kaifeng's Yin-yang eye, so now they can see ghosts together!
Lin Feiran, Gu Kaifeng, and their friends went on a little vacation. We got to see the side couple being all domestic, which was a nice touch. While on vacation, Lin Feiran and Gu Kaifeng climbed a mountain where they met a monk, Master Chengguan, who had passed on and was helping others do the same. I won't go into details, but Master Chengguan pretty much told them they were soulmates.
There was a side chapter that made me cry my eyes out! It was so tragic, and I wished those characters had a better ending, but knowing they're happy now makes me feel a little better.
The side characters were something else! There was only one chapter with them, but the amount of teasing they brought to the table was hilarious, and they weren't even together yet! The baby ghost was also a great touch and so funny!
Lin Feiran and Gu Kaifeng graduated and got into the same college where they continue helping ghosts, humans, and animals pass on. Even throughout high school, Lin Feiran was always helping ghosts as much as he could. They now live happily together with their two little kittens!
Happy reading! 😊

What a teeth-achingly sweet little gem of a book! I went in expecting something light and simple, and honestly—it delivered exactly what I needed. Sometimes all you want is a cozy, feel-good story that wraps around you like a warm blanket, and this was it.
I’ll admit, I was hesitant at first. The Goodreads ratings were on the lower side, and the publisher, Rosmei, isn't one of the more well-known names in the danmei world (though they're clearly on the rise). Add to that the slightly steeper price point, and I wasn’t sure if it would be worth it. But I’m so glad I took the chance—I actually bought the book, and no regrets at all.
What did surprise me was the mature tag. For a story centered around high schoolers, I didn’t expect it to take things quite so far in the intimacy department. The final two chapters, in particular, had me feeling... a little flustered—in the best way possible! That said, the overall tone remains incredibly sweet and wholesome.
Do note that the main plot wraps up fairly early, with a good chunk of the book dedicated to extras. Personally, I didn’t mind at all—I was more than happy to bask in the fluff and see more of the couple just being adorable together.
If you’re looking to take a break from the heavier, angst-filled danmei novels and just want something that will make you smile, this is the perfect pick. Grab a hot cup of tea, curl up in bed, and let the sweetness take over

4.8/5 🌟
He lowered his eyelids, drinking in the sight before him like a connoisseur savouring a rare delicacy. Tears of laughter had given Lin Feiran's beautiful eyes a glassy sheen. making them sparkle even more enchantingly than usual. Their playful tussle had left his hair messy and his collar crooked while his cheeks glowed pink like summer apples-all lending him a bewitching vulnerability so different from his typical composure.
I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡
It was just pure fluffy goodness! I never expected the extras to be so funny, lighthearted, naughty, tear jerking as they were! (ㅅ´ ˘ `)
But don't be deceived. There are TWs of tragic ways people died, which I will mention from here on out. If you are uncomfortable with talks of suicide, blood, gore and violence, mentions of animal deaths, now is a good time to exit out of this review.

Ghost story after a tragic other, Lin Feiran and Gu Kaifeng spend the time they can to help souls move on and find peace. From a dog who jumped in front of a car pushing his owner out of the way, to another story of the cutest ghost puppy named Cheesecake that became a little hero in clearing rat poison from the park that evil people put out that killed him.
This little hero was saving his mother who turns out was the pet of a neighboring ghost of our couple.
This ghost had been his dog taken from him before he tragically took his life because of his abusive father. The ghost's resentment faded with the help of the puppy. In the end, the mother dog had come home and found her long lost owner and her puppy.
(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )づ♡
The mother of Lin Feiran's roommate had tragically died by being run over by a car when her boy was 9 years-old. Lin Feiran helped her move on after making sure her son was able to properly take care of himself. She was able to let her son know she's been watching him for many years. As her spirit was ever so slightly held by her son that was now taller than her. ( ˊo̴̶̷̤ ̫ o̴̶̷̤ˋ)
Finally a woman who became a tree so she could be by the man she loved that was a monk for the rest of his days.
My absolute favorite ghost story has to be the "Pianist" extra. I cried a lot reading the two tragic lovers be seperated by misunderstandings, and because of adversaries much too powerful for them. Their heartbreak was too much to bear and both ended their lives, one slitting his throat after hearing that the other hung himself. But their hundreds of years of waiting —hoping— was what made their reunion that much more beautiful.
A pianist student and his master fell in love.
The master's family took control that resulted in the Pianist having his hands mutilated as he cried in pain of being "abandoned and betrayed" by his lover. He tragically took his life while his lover was trapped in a mansion against his will, forced to almost be married to someone he doesn't love, went into a slaughtering rampage.
The mansion was stained with blood as he took the lives of everyone that conspired to kill his lover. In the end, his life flowed out of him in puddles of red out of his throat as his final act of rebellion, hoping to be freed from the pain of confinement and the loss his lover on the day of the wedding. ｡°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°｡
Ji Xuan pulled back slightly and tugged down the collar of his wedding robe, revealing the knife wound across his neck.
He Jingyun, his eyes clouded, met Ji Xuan's gaze obediently. Slowly, he lifted his head.
"Jingyun... I didn't lie to you," Ji Xuan confessed, tears spilling down his cheeks. "I did this to myself."
"Ah..." He Jingyun fell silent before suddenly letting out a wail. The two ghosts clung to each other once more, their cries blending indistinguishably.
They decided to roam the earth and stay together as ghost, never wishing to cross the gates to reincarnation. (੭ ;´ ⌂ `;)੭♡
But not only do we get ghost stories, we get fluffy and naughty time of our couple! God they can't keep their hands to themselves haha! ꉂ(˵˃ ᗜ ˂˵)
Little-sticky-rice-cake at it again!
We had such a cute extra of Lin Feiran and Gu Kaifeng's friend that turned out to also come out of the closet as he fell in love with his best friend and roommate. I needed more of them and if they stayed in touch with the main couple! (˶˃𐃷˂˶)
Also, there was a bit that seemed out of place and rushed. But other than that, excellent read!
Okay, sorry for this long ass review!

“Whenever I think about us not being together in our past lives, I feel compelled to cherish you more in this one. I will stick with you.”
This volume was enjoyable in a lighthearted way, though it left me wishing for a bit more. The three main chapters move the romance forward, with Gu Kaifeng and Lin Feiran’s relationship becoming the clear center of attention. Their chemistry is fun to read, and the blend of heartfelt moments with silly comedic beats made for an easy and entertaining read. It’s the kind of volume that thrives on its characters just being together, which can be charming in itself.
The collection of extras adds variety, giving readers glimpses of different situations and relationships outside of the main couple. Some focus on side characters, others on imaginative scenarios, and there are slice-of-life moments that feel almost like fanservice shorts. While these are cute and sometimes funny, they also fragment the flow of the book. I couldn’t shake the feeling that the material might have been better balanced if the story chapters and the extras were separated into different volumes, instead of being packed together here.
What keeps this volume from feeling stronger is the way its structure leans so heavily on extras and side stories. While many of them are charming, the pacing can feel uneven, and some scenes linger longer than they need to. The romance is the main draw here, and it really shines, but the volume doesn’t build much narrative momentum beyond showcasing sweet or comedic situations. I liked spending time with the characters and seeing their relationship flourish, yet I wished for a tighter flow that made the whole book feel more cohesive.

This duology was like the dramas "Stay by my side" and "Oh No! Here Comes Trouble" rolled into one and I loved it! Loved the main couple, loved the side couple extra in this volume (Volume 2 is almost entirely extras). Just wholesome, romantic fun. Another confirmation for why I need to read more danmei, the novels in this genre are usually so engaging to read.

I liked this volume more than the first, the whole army of extra chapters were funny and gave us more ghost stories. the last two chapters were the 18+ chapters. one thing I didnt enjoy as much was the chapter "Always" bc there were like three plot lines mixed randomly without interaction, why mix them instead of doing three chapters and telling each story individually and more clear?

What a lovely sendoff!! I wish every story got this quantity and quality of extras
