Summary
The ghost fire flickered. Slow, faded flickering, as if it was dwindling. Indeed, it shouldn't be a thing, due to the soul calming rituals it experienced in its youth, but there is something that cultivators don't know, a secret that allows our humble ghost fire to persist after death: not all ghosts are formed out of resentment.
No, some are formed from love.
"A-Xian?" The ghost fires voice wavered. "A-Cheng?"
But, no one answered it. The words were barely there, whispered into the wind and drowned out by it.
The ghost fire trembled. Where were its brothers? Where was its son? Where, if it was indeed dead, was its husband, who it was sure was waiting for it in the afterlife?
"A-Xuan?" It tries again, when none of the living answer. Perhaps the dead will, it thinks, if it—she—is dead as well. But it's no use. Her husband does not answer either.
Jiang Yanli, ghost fire barely holding onto existence, is completely alone.

My comments: This story is tagged as Jiang Cheng bashing, but honestly, after reading it, I definitely wouldn't call it that. Still, if you're looking for a happy ending for his relationship with Jiang Yanli after her death... This story isn't for you. In this story, Jiang Yanli's spirit lingers and over time, she becomes stronger and eventually vows to dish out some revenge. Really loved her character journey in this story!
