Not scary. All the plot buildup is about love and redemption.
Romance-focused, not serious drama.
Reunion after a breakup, past and present lives.
He had seen the Yin Guests in their heyday.
An endless wasteland stretched before him, filled with evil spirits whose limbs twisted in strange shapes.
Another group came gliding through the air, tall and graceful, with jade crowns and dark hair. The sweep of a monk's sleeve stirred up a fierce wind.
They spread out in midair above the wasteland. Countless white chains emerged from the ground, binding the evil spirits and dragging them into the underworld.
One of them turned and looked back.
Someone remembered that glance for two thousand years.
Story One:
He disliked Tinglan Mountain because he had parted with someone there too many times, and never once had they reunited.
He also disliked the Shrine of Wuchang, because everyone who came and went said the person beside his portrait had surely died long ago and would never return.
At the beginning of every month, he liked to watch a shadow-puppet show. One performance depicted the wasteland, where all the ghosts roamed at night, and the ancestors of the Yin Guests in their heyday came riding the moonlight to subdue them.
At the very end stood a white figure, holding a red plum blossom.
What Yan Hui thought was that his feelings had long since changed.
He liked... no, loved that person deeply. Even though he seemed to have forgotten almost everything, he would still fall for him again the moment they reunited.
It's hard to imagine that he had waited for hundreds, even thousands of years with feelings like these.
Waiting for flowers to bloom, waiting for someone to return.
This time, he would never let him leave again.
