Candlelight as a Guide

On a summer night, Liu Ying met the scholar guarding the temple. She was originally a firefly spirit, and she was greedy for the figure chanting under his lamp; he made a promise to meet again in the next life with the fluorescent light on his fingertips. But the human-monster has a different path, and she burned her soul in exchange for his peace in this life. A hundred years later, he was reincarnated as an ordinary woodcutter. When passing by the old temple, there were always fireflies lingering around him, as if he felt the warmth of an old friend, but he could no longer remember whose face the fireflies had touched that night.
