Summary: Xun Lan crossed to become an 18-th liner who was currently sprayed online for a harassment case. The original Xun Lan since long been gone by cutting wrists, when Xun Lan crossed he not only was in such a situation, but also got a bonus - he could see ghosts and the yin energy around him was abundant too. He never was an actor in his previous life, but he taught himself many skills, but firstly he solved the one person who decided to use him as a stepping stone and accused him of harassment. Later Xun Lan saved two men from the ghost bus, what he didn't know that one of them soon got into a car accident (man-made) and became comatose. How he knew that? The triple actor emperor Qi Nian (ML), to be precise his soul, was next to his apartment door when he got back. From then on they set on a journey of seeing ghosts of wronged people and helping them bringing justice to their stories. From then on a legend was born about Xun Lan's metaphysical body - if you've done something bad, be prepared overturning your car when you get close to Xun Lan. 

This story is really entertaining, although there will be quite dark stories from ghosts, but in general things will get resolved pretty easily. There will be many cases, so they occupy the biggest portion. On the background you can slowly see Xun Lan opening up about himself and his world, while he and Qi Nian get to know each other better, but also become confidants and later lovers. It will also involve a little bit of Qi Nian's story of his family, which will be solved in the end.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, it has a lighter tone when reading, despite dark backstories of ghosts. Sometimes the writing is a bit silly, but you realize it was quite intentional. I rarely look out for the 'seeing ghosts' stories, but this one was a good exception to me. I felt for two protagonists, their feelings developed slowly, but surely. Also the whole overturning the car and metaphysics by the network and people and entertainment was quite funny.

RATE: 5/5. For a good ghosty time :D
