About

Ghosts—the spirits of the deceased who cannot ascend and remain in this world because they could not resolve their lingering grudges in life. The stronger and deeper the grudge, the more powerful the ghost becomes; those who cause harm to the living are called malevolent spirits. And then there is me, born with the Spirit Eye, the ability to see these ghosts. Ever since I could see them, ghosts have tormented me, coveting my body and soul. Or, they would tease and mock me just to see my reaction. Then one day, while heading into the mountains, I felt an energy several times stronger than a normal ghost. I found a spirit suffering greatly because of a talisman placed by a shaman, unable to leave the mountain. Feeling pity, I removed the talisman for him. Since that day, that ghost has been following me everywhere. He introduced himself as 'Yuan.' At least once every day, he brings me flowers, earrings, or necklaces and confesses: 'I truly adore you. Won't you come to the mountain where I dwell and live there with me, just the two of us?' Deep down, I have begun to harbor feelings for him. Unlike others who avoid me as a cursed child because I see ghosts, he is so kind and warm. Unlike the spirits who covet my body and soul, he protects me from them. When I say I'm cold, he hugs me from behind and asks, 'Are you feeling a bit better now?' However, my father has already betrothed me to a man from another family, so I cannot accept his heart. What should I do about him, who continues to confess his love to me? Should I push him away? Or... should I run away to the mountains and live with him? He says he will wait for me, no matter how long it takes. What will my choice be?
