A Guide to Raising a Ghost

[Ghost x Human]

This woman won't leave me alone, even after she's dead.

Theater queen x stage director

"Love doesn't know its own depth until the hour of separation."

1.

Everyone who's met Chi Yi and Wen Yuanyuan knows they don't get along.

Anything can set them off, from the angle of a prop onstage to the two of them silently exchanging a glance. Somehow, they'll wind up sniping at each other.

When Wen Yuanyuan died, everyone thought Chi Yi would set off fireworks to celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime good news.

And that's exactly what Chi Yi did.

On the first day after Wen Yuanyuan died, Chi Yi set off fireworks and firecrackers.

On the second day, Chi Yi was full of life.

On the third day, Chi Yi felt out of sorts all over, itchy and restless. She kept thinking of Wen Yuanyuan for no reason, and her eyes kept watering. In a word: She missed her. She missed her. She missed her.

On the seventh day after Wen Yuanyuan died, Chi Yi hated her.

How dare Wen Yuanyuan die before her?

2.

Chi Yi thought the most embarrassing thing that had ever happened to her was accidentally kissing Wen Yuanyuan during an acting class in college.

But she never imagined that after Wen Yuanyuan died, she'd be comforting herself in the middle of the night, get carried away, and let Wen Yuanyuan's name slip from her lips.

And the woman herself heard it.

Excuse me, just a moment.

Weren't you dead?

Couldn't you have stayed dead?

3.

It turned out ghosts really did exist, and Wen Yuanyuan had become one.

She even said Chi Yi could see her because they shared a special connection.

Chi Yi: Ha.

You think I don't know you? You're just here to laugh at me.

Chi Yi told Wen Yuanyuan to go get reincarnated, but Wen Yuanyuan asked her to investigate the truth behind her death instead. Apparently, after people die and become ghosts, they forget how they died.

Chi Yi couldn't be bothered to investigate, so she made something up on the spot: You loved me too much. You confessed, I turned you down, and you killed yourself.

Wen Yuanyuan: I have amnesia, not brain damage.

With a female ghost haunting her every day, Chi Yi would either die of exhaustion from work or have her yang energy sucked dry. She had no choice but to agree.

As the investigation went deeper, Chi Yi gradually realized that Wen Yuanyuan's death was no simple stage accident.

4.

Chi Yi had to help Wen Yuanyuan uncover the truth, and wait on her hand and foot every day.

When Wen Yuanyuan was alive, Chi Yi already thought she was a pain. Had death cured her of that? No! She was even more demanding!!!

The incense doesn't smell right, the paper money doesn't taste good... So annoying!

So picky! So hard to please!

Why are you so fussy when you're a ghost? You should be grateful you have anything to eat!

That's what Chi Yi said, but every time Wen Yuanyuan made a request, Chi Yi would take out a notebook and write it down.
