A Journey to Love: The Past Cannot Be Chased, This Heartache Is Hardest to Bear

Adapted from A Journey to Love, with Qian Zhao as the romantic lead. The original couples will not be broken up, so if you don't like that, please don't read.

I was so devastated by the second half of the drama and its ending that I couldn't help wanting to write my own version.

If the drama is going to torment me, surely the novel won't do the same! This is all about taking matters into my own hands and making my own happiness. The drama left me with regrets, so I'll fill those gaps with fanfiction!

Here's the actual synopsis:

A wandering ghost roams the world, watching the show and enjoying the gossip. As it happens, she was there just moments ago, and moments before that, too! She started out snacking on sweet gossip, but by the end, it had all turned bitter. Qi You flew into a rage and threw the rotten melon away! She'd been dead for years, yet just because she loved gossip, the affairs of the living had to torment her all over again. An uncle might put up with it, but an aunt certainly wouldn't!

Still, she could probably bear it for a little while. After all, she had neither an uncle nor an aunt. She could always go find another story to watch. As a ghost, she could go wherever she pleased, and the world was so vast there was no shortage of juicy gossip.

But before she could find another juicy story, a black cat smacked her with one mighty paw. It hurt so much her soul nearly shattered. As the world spun around her, she was reborn...

Qi You, curious: You're a cat. Why don't you like eating mice?

The former black cat: ...Enough. Give me a name that doesn't mean black.

Qi You: Oh, then I'll call you Not-White!

The former black cat: ...

Qi You, completely serious: Your name sounds lucky. Can I call you Zhao Cai?

Qian Zhao: ...Not lucky money. I'm here to win you over.

Qi You, panicking: I have no talents and I'm not worth a thing. Don't think you can sell me!

Qian Zhao sighed. Since talking wasn't getting through to her, he'd have to stop being polite and carry her off!
