The thing Bai Kangnian regrets most in this life is taking a wrong turn when he fought his way out of a mass grave.
In the woods, a woman on the verge of death latched onto him.
He couldn't shake her off, break free, or curse her into leaving.
She wanted him to go with her back to her home, accompany her south, and cross mountains and ridges in search of a skeleton whose whereabouts were unknown.
"What exactly do you want?" he asked.
"To live," she said.
"Then why are you grabbing me?"
She thought for a moment and smiled. "Because you want to live even more than I do."
She was right. He really didn't want to die.
Shen Wenjue knows Bai Kangnian is a vengeful ghost, one who wants her life.
But ghosts aren't the only ones in this world who want her dead. There are people, too.
Only by staying beside Bai Kangnian can she survive. Even if she has to cling to him for dear life, she will never leave him.
Theme: The road to survival is long.
