Zhu Yunyao was once the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's household, but she was sent to the bitterly cold Jiangbei. By day, she did needlework to help make ends meet. By night, ghosts haunted her...

*

After Zhu Yunyao came of age, a ghost took her virginity. Bound by her betrothal to the Crown Prince, she lived in constant fear until she finally fell gravely ill.

Her stepmother helped her half-sister steal her marriage match, then tried to take her life. The only person who had ever treated her well left her, and the two of them were abandoned together in a mass grave.

She went back to take revenge like a madwoman, poisoning the feast at the Prime Minister's residence. Without waiting to see the outcome, she hurried away to Jiangbei, where she had once promised to meet her deceased family.

But the ghost who had taken her innocence in her dreams still haunted her. At night, dampness seeped through the bedding between the sheets.

She couldn't get rid of the female ghost!

She arrived in Jiangbei with her nightmare. She thought it would haunt her for the rest of her life, until Li, the village idiot, was driven to her home.

After Zhu Yunyao had washed and dressed her, a face she could never forget, even in death, appeared before her.

The ghost who had toyed with her in her dreams, leaving her in a state of desire and entwining with her until death, had appeared before her in the flesh.

Li was silly and naive, nothing like the ghost's obsessive madness. Zhu Yunyao couldn't bring herself to abandon the girl in the freezing snow, so she kept her by her side.

At least, come winter, she would have someone to warm her. After she took Li in, the ghost seemed to disappear.

Zhu Yunyao gave the silly girl a new name: Li Zhaohan. Somehow, it felt as if that had always been her name.

Once Zhu Yunyao let down her guard and began sharing a bed with Li Zhaohan every night, the two cuddling close for warmth, Li Zhaohan began unfastening her clothes at night and doing with her what the ghost had done in her dreams...

Li Zhaohan's eyes were clear, as if she had no idea what she was doing. Night after night, she wanted them to tumble together.

Zhu Yunyao actually... She had done so many shameless things with Li Zhaohan because she missed the feeling from those dreams so much...

She thought she could go on living in this muddled state, but a few months later, Li Zhaohan, who had always been so foolish, seemed to speak to her with a clear gaze.

“Yunyao, why did you abandon me?”

“Why didn't you come find me?”
