One Thousand and One Nights, One Thousand and One Stories will change your look back in your lifetime.
Su Wantang, a human painter, was forcibly abducted into the Nine Ghost Realm because of his "Lingshan Night Banquet", which depicts the scenery of the spiritual realm. The one who imprisons her is Yin Ji, the eternally lonely master of the spiritual realm.
He gave her a dagger and a condition: tell a story every night, and after telling it for one thousand and one nights, he would let you return to the world.
On the first night, she told "The Marriage of the Painted Skin Fox"; on the ninety-ninth night, she told "The Spirit Cryed"; on the third hundred night, she told "The Dead Tree Blossoms"... She used the love, hate, anger, and ignorance in the story to chip away at his heart that had been frozen for thousands of years.
But the laws of the spiritual realm are like iron: if a spirit falls in love with a human, it will be punished by heaven.
On the fifth hundred nights, they crossed the line. When the heavenly punishment came, Yin Ji used half of her soul as a shield to protect her, but she herself fell into a thousand-year sleep. Su Wantang was burned at the stake by human monks for the crime of "channelling". Before she died, she bit her fingertips and wrote the last two words of "story" on the handkerchief——
"Wait for me." When Yin Ji woke up after a thousand years, only a bloody handkerchief remained. He spent his eternal life, changed his destiny against heaven, and exchanged her for three reincarnations.
