On the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, the Ghost Festival, the gates of the underworld open.
Lotus lanterns are lit for the dead.
In her ninety-ninth year, she was finally about to leave the mortal world where she had wandered, carrying both resentment and longing.
That night, twins, a boy and a girl, were born in the imperial palace. They were separated by only a moment, yet their fates lay at opposite ends of life and death. To secure her position in the harem, a favored consort drowned the newborn baby girl.
By a twist of fate, the girl fell into the River of the Dead and returned to the human world, reborn in the baby's body.
The wind rose in the dark of night, and the boy carrying a little lantern became her older brother.
The moon was full, and the lotus lanterns were shining once more.
She longed for warmth and for a love that would never betray her. The souls who could not leave the mortal world behind made her wonder whether she was human or ghost. Perhaps there was no difference between the two.
The living were merely ghosts who still breathed, and ghosts were simply people who had died.
One thought could lead to heaven, another to hell.
She lived as though she were dead, yet clung to “life” as an obsession, waiting for the day she could truly break free of her cocoon.
Is the title of such a beautiful book holding me back? It has nothing to do with the content. Author, you write so well, why is the title of the book so perfunctory? Each character is so vividly and interestingly drawn, and it feels like every one of them has a story. I should have read it first, this one after reading the one about the female head catcher, the characters are connected in series. Nice…
I saw the female head catcher coming over [laughing evilly]
I dare not listen to Chapter 74 [I'm about to cry] Wan Jing's crush is actually not Lin Yu. Although they got together in the end, but... [Crying] What she likes is Zhang He [crying]! Although I don't know what happened in the middle, the hero in my heart is Lin Yu! The pain of scratching the heart and liver😣
Ahhhhh, author, I'm so upset! ! [Crying] [Crying] Why can't we just let the night mirror be taken away! I like both Zhang He and Lin Yu so much [I almost cried], especially Zhang He. In the end, when I saw him living an ordinary life, I felt a little sad in my heart [I almost cried]. Although this is a good ending for him, I still feel it is a pity... This book can really be published. I hope the author can publish this book as soon as possible [Send my heart]
If you like it, you just like it. There is no need to ask for reasons or to say too much. I read "The Female Head Catcher" first. Jiang Xiyuan was not very likable in this novel and was a bit unfavorable.
This is the first time I have seen such an author. Several works are strung together, and the characters and plots are continued. It is really beautiful. The author's writing style is also very good. The characters and scenery are all lifelike. It is really amazing.
The male protagonists in the author's works are very affectionate. Read this book first, then read Female Head Catcher, and finally read Mortal Chronicles. This is a series.
This book deserves 9.6 Points! ! !
Really like it! Improve your score!
It is a good book that is delayed by the title. It has a compact plot and good writing. It is worth reading!
