Synopsis
Xia Chu exists as a peculiar undead creature who has avoided the consumption of human blood, yet he finds himself under the strict guardianship of a disciplined monk. The dynamic shifts into a comedic struggle when his caretaker imposes a rigorous vegetarian diet, forbidding even animal blood. This restriction drives the zombie to seek alternative means of sustenance, leading to a provocative attempt to drain the monk's own essence. What begins as a battle of wills evolves into a playful, intimate power struggle where the ascetic's piety masks a more opportunistic desire. The writing maintains a lighthearted, flirtatious energy that escalates from domestic friction to romantic tension. Those who appreciate slow-burn dynamics between contrasting personalities will find the chemistry rewarding, while those seeking a grim horror story involving the undead will likely find the whimsical tone frustrating. The stakes remain low and personal, focusing on the emotional bond and the humorous clash between spiritual discipline and primal hunger.

Editorial Review
With a modest length of 102 chapters, this completed work offers a concise exploration of its central relationship without overstaying its welcome. The strength of the piece lies in the chemistry between the two leads; the friction between the zombie's desperation and the monk's calculated patience creates a compelling romantic tension. However, the limited scope of the plot is a notable weakness. The story relies heavily on the central gimmick of the dietary restriction, and while the interactions are charming, there is little in the way of broader world-building or external conflict to drive the plot forward beyond the romance. Given its status as a completed BL title, it provides a satisfying conclusion, but the lack of narrative complexity keeps it from being a standout. It functions well as a light, character-driven diversion rather than a complex epic.
