The old sayings people pass down may be only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to those obscure stories. Maybe one day, beneath the lonely smoke rising over the desert, you'll meet the butterfly meant for you. Shh, keep your voice down. He can see you.
Story One: Little monk x little green snake: Ghostly labyrinth. What others fear encountering in the supernatural is what I prayed for.

Across three lifetimes, you are still the one I see.
Story Two: Kitchen God x Matchmaker: Perhaps the story began with the Matchmaker being a lovely young woman with her own ambitions and dreams, but she alone forgot about her own love life.
"Is that so? As long as she's happy..."
The Kitchen God busied himself for months, managed to earn himself a minor post, and still smiled, glad that his girl was doing better than he was.
Story Three: You guess.

Theme: The hidden mysteries in ghost stories.
