Wangliang: It can mean “a faint shadow beyond the shadow,” or “a vague, rootless state.”
“Drifting aimlessly, knowing not what one seeks; a shadowy wraith, knowing not where to go.”
Ye Xiling, a character from Fantasy Westward Journey II:
During the Ghost Festival, the Yin-Yang River in the underworld fills with floating water lanterns, also known as “lamps that light the darkness.” They guide every ghost who died unjustly, leading them from the Gates of Hell all the way to the Bridge of Helplessness. When a lantern has guided ten thousand souls to the afterlife, it becomes a ghost immortal through the good karma it has accumulated. These ghost immortals look like little girls around ten years old. Innocent and kind, they know nothing of the world. Dressed in red Han clothing and carrying pink lanterns, they guide newly arrived souls through the underworld, becoming the only warm spot in that frigid realm.

“Aida, you’re a child I stole!” her father, leader of the Phantom Troupe, would say affectionately, smiling with elegant charm.
“I thought that as her child, she wouldn’t need worldly food and could live on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!” Her father once left her, still a baby, unfed for several days. When he discovered she was no different from an ordinary person, he said this with deep disappointment.
She had also once burst in at an inopportune moment while her father was on a date, shouted “Dad!” and enjoyed watching the woman across from him turn from red to white, then green!
She had also once teamed up with Uncle Shalnark to cheat, steal, and swindle; played blindfolded knife-throwing with Uncle Feitan; arm-wrestled Uncle Uvogin; and learned embroidery from Aunt Machi…
But those were all in the past…
She stood before her mother, but could only call her “godmother”!
Though her father was infamous, she still loved him! Though Kuri saw her father as an enemy, she still liked him!
Her Nen ability allowed her to transform into someone else and use some of their abilities, provided she had obtained their blood and hair!
She died in Kuri’s hands in her father’s place, and succeeded in making sure he would never forget her for the rest of his life!
It’s a very Jin Yong-style ending, but she likes it!
She used to be called Esmeralda. Now she is Ye Xiling!
