Love Beyond the Grave

On the battlefield, He Simu—once feared as a ghostly predator—unexpectedly finds herself rescued by a young general who mistakes her for a helpless war orphan. Playing the part of a fragile girl, she hides her true nature behind trembling hands and fainting spells. But when the general is ambushed, He Simu sheds her disguise, unleashing the terrifying power of the Ghost King to protect him. Duan Xu, the general, knows he shouldn’t have entangled himself with a being as ancient and dangerous as her. Yet he refuses to be just a vessel for her borrowed senses. Through fleeting ten-day pacts, he offers her the beauty of the world—color, scent, music, warmth—hoping to awaken something real. She warns him: her life spans centuries, and one day, she will forget him. He replies: “Though I’m unwilling… I still choose to.” I’ll gift you all the beauty of this world. When I’m gone, it will speak my love to you in my place.
