The familiar voice of the Netherworld receptionist echoed when I staggered back into the smokey Service Hall. My legs wobbled, drained. Had that really happened? I croaked, "Why didn't I get any of the money? Everyone burned so much for me, but none of it got through." The assistant, arms crossed, tilted her head. "There are many reasons. Maybe they spoke the wrong name when burning. Maybe they thought of someone else while addressing your grave. Inaccurate identification can block the transfer. It's very strict." My vision swam. "But what if my body isn't even in the grave? I ha...

But at last, through working countless underpaid, backbreaking jobs, I managed to save enough ghost coins for something life changing: a Dream-Visitation Service. At the counter of the Netherworld Dream Service Department, a chipper assistant with sharp red-streaked hair grinned while promoting their packages. "Dear customer, big sale today. We have the deluxe visitation for eighty-eight million, the premium for eight point eight million, the practical package for eight hundred eighty thousand, and the special discounted set for eighty-eight thousand. Which do you want?" My face flushed hot. Clutching my shabby coin pouch, I whispered like a broke touri...

Bright and determined, she had gone into geriatric medical research. Alzheimer’s was one of her chosen studies. Her mentor, an expert in the field, had told her new drug trials were beginning. "Mom, when I get access to the trial, Dad will be one of the first patients," she promised, eyes fierce. That day, she placed a framed wedding portrait of Shen Weilin and Zhao Yulan in our living room. Their youth was radiant handsome, graceful, perfect together. More striking than any photo he and I had ever taken. For the first time in decades, strange peace entered me. This, I thought, was the truth all along. This was the fate meant to b...

She had summoned Yan Ming, hoping to force him into a trap with me, to seal our futures together. But fate twisted. Yan Ming never came. It was Shen Weilin who walked through that door. So the scandal was born. I was on the floor, wrapped in shame, when my mother dragged me before Madam Shen to beg forgiveness. "Please, we seek no restitution. I will take my daughter and leave the Shen household." Madam Shen pressed her temples, weary and overwhelmed. But Shen Weilin stood tall by the doorway, unshaken even under his father’s furious glare. "I will break my engagement with the Zhao family," he declared. "And I will marry Su Lanying." Th...

I would elope with him. If I left with him, then perhaps sun could return to sun, moon to moon, and wild grass could surrender itself to the wilderness again. That night, storm clouds gathered, thunder grumbling from the heavens. I tidied Shen Weilin’s books one last time, hands shaking with final duty. He sat by the window, for once not reading, simply watching me with unreadable eyes. Lightning forked behind him in brilliant flashes. I could not meet his gaze. I stacked his pages neatly, committing his silhouette to memory, fearing I might never see him again. At last, I reached for the pendant he had given me, hoping to...
