Fairy in Painting, Ghost General

About This Novel
In the troubled times of the Southern Song Dynasty, scholar Suning found a jade pendant in a bone mound and was involved in a puzzle where humans and ghosts intertwined. The mysterious woman A Hua he rescued always disappeared on full moon nights, and her figure gradually overlapped with the ladies in his paintings. When Suning tracked her to the ghost domain in the back mountain, she was shocked to realize that she was the soul in the painting who had been imprisoned for hundreds of years by the ghost king - and that ghost king was the general who died unjustly in battle. He was using thousands of ghosts as sacrifices in an attempt to release the soul-eating demon that devoured everything. His friend Liang Xing is captured and used as a living bait for sacrifice; the hermit Taoist priest reveals a shocking secret: the general has been bewitched by a monster for a long time, and revenge is actually to help the evildoer. In order to save the common people, Suning used blood as ink and painting as a key to break into the underworld with A painting. When the blood moon hangs in the sky, above the altar, the general's loyal soul token resonates with Ah Hua's jade pendant. He throws out the "Picture of Life and Life" that he poured out his love for. When the picture is broken, is the resentment dissipated or the soul is gone? In the end, the war subsided, and only the paintbrush still retained its spirituality. Under the moonlight, when Suning started writing, the woman in the painting looked back and smiled. There seemed to be a ghost whispering in the wet area where the ink was still dry - The most painful redemption in this world is to spend my whole life painting all the days and nights with you.
