My Late Husband's Spirit Has Come Home

Two chapters updated each week

[Eastern fantasy, demon hunting + episodic stories]

In the eleventh year of Yongjing, war along the northern border intensified, and the beacon fires blazed more and more often.

On the night of her wedding, Shen Su lit a lamp and helped her husband put on his armor, polishing his sword.

The lamplight, no bigger than a bean, revealed the silent figure of the emperor standing outside the bridal chamber. Shen Su raised the nuptial wine to see her husband off. "Everyone calls my husband the Great Jing God of War. When you go, you will surely be victorious in every battle and return safely."

"Take good care of yourself."

"I'll write to you."

For the next three years, Shen Su stayed home, tending flowers and plants. She followed her husband's instructions to eat and sleep well and take care of herself.

She read the letters sent back from the border over and over, one after another.

2.

In the fourteenth year of Yongjing, the letters abruptly stopped.

A fast horse brought news of victory from the border: the enemy forces had been routed and driven back a thousand li. Their commander, Xie Hantian, held the city to the death and fell in battle, never to return to Yuan City.

At that time, dark clouds gathered over the royal city, and a demon wind swept through. The people wailed and fled, but no one could escape the wind. It was like a living hell.

Shen Su stood amid a sea of corpses, gazing at the general in the distance along the long street.

Black mist billowed around him. He stood motionless in his armor amid the wind and snow, his eyes on her as gentle as they had been in their youth.

"A Su, I'm home."

Her husband had once told her that he was named for being born in the bitter cold.

She had never imagined that her general's soul would return on a cold winter night like this one.
