I Can See My Dead Husband

Lin Yu and Du Ying had been a devoted couple, a perfect match who had pledged themselves to each other. But not long after they married, they became enemies. Four years later, the husband was dead and the wife was wounded.

After Du Ying died, he became a ghost and lingered by Lin Yu's side. Seeing her delighted by his death filled him with bitterness. When he finally managed to see her, she was disgusted by him.

Heartbroken, Du Ying asked Lin Yu why.

Lin Yu retorted, "Weren't you the one who was insincere, who lied to me and deceived me, and hated me first?"

After years of being neglected, even the deepest affection had completely vanished.

Lin Yu only wanted to cut her losses and get away as quickly as possible. She never noticed the longing in Du Ying's tearful eyes.

Later, Du Ying gripped Lin Yu by the throat and demanded that she join him in death. Lin Yu didn't struggle, but Du Ying couldn't bring himself to kill her.

Du Ying thought that if Lin Yu died, he'd be overjoyed, just as she had been at his death.

But when Lin Yu was on the brink of death, barely clinging to life, Du Ying finally understood: he didn't hate her. He only hated that she didn't love him.

At twenty, Lin Yu first became a widow, then a madwoman.

There was a rumor in the capital:

That Third Madam Du had gone mad from missing her husband. By day, she prayed to the gods and buddhas; at night, she summoned ghosts, all to see Lord Du once more. Her love ran deep indeed. But ordinary mortals trying to summon spirits was sheer fantasy, and she had lost her senses and gone mad, only to be haunted by an evil ghost.

Don't take pity on Third Madam Du, or you may bring disaster upon yourself.

When Lin Yu heard this, she gave a cold laugh and cast a sidelong glance at the man beside her, 'the husband she supposedly missed to the point of madness.' "I'm a madwoman now. Are you satisfied?"

Du Ying narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled. "If it's for my sake, I'm delighted."
