White Bones Lament:
The young master of the Su family was frail from birth. He was once told he would never be able to marry in this life, but after a skilled healer cured him, he was able to wed the woman he loved.
But the truth was that the young master of the Su family had been dead for a long time. The one about to marry the young lady of the An family was nothing more than a resentful bone demon wearing human skin.
The Ghost Beneath the Tree:
A little beggar who died on a snowy night had his body carried off and eaten by wild dogs, leaving him unable to be reborn.
To help the little ghost find his remains, Ming Kui has no choice but to seek help from the thousand-year-old tree demon who sells paintings in the city. His roots stretch for a thousand miles, so he may know something.
The tree demon agrees, but only on the condition that he be allowed to paint a portrait of Ming Kui.
“Your eyes look just like hers,” the tree demon says.
