Ghost Dream

Literary Description:

A realm of ghosts, a painted beauty, trapping a deep and tender romance, locking away a thousand lanterns' worth of yearning dreams.

Truths and lies, within the painting and beyond it.

In the end, all is but an illusion, a bubble, and emptiness.

When Huan Sheng first entered the ghost realm, a monk he brushed past told him: "To leave this place, you need only wait for daybreak."

Here, the sky will never grow light. The moon shines for a thousand miles, and lanterns blaze, their light fading into the night. A beauty from a painting slowly approaches through the glow, while the ghosts are warm and welcoming.

The night here has no tomorrow. Someone tells him never to reveal his real name, or he will be doomed beyond redemption...

Plain-Language Description:

One is greedy for money; the other is lustful.

One is as pure as a white rabbit; the other is a womanizer who excels at painting erotic art.

One is a ghost; the other is human.

One says, "Liking you in this lifetime is impossible. I don't know how to do anything else, so I can only swindle you out of your money."

The other says, "Giving you up in this lifetime is impossible. I don't know how to do anything except paint erotic pictures, so I can only covet your beauty."
