Daytime Lantern (Love Beyond the Grave)

Original Title: 白日提灯 (Bai ri ti deng) Carrying a Lantern at Daytime

Description:

He Simu, the 400-year-old Ghost King, was scavenging for food on the battlefield when she unexpectedly found herself taken in.

The young general who took her in seemed to regard her as a weak orphan of war and treated her with great care.

He Simu then dutifully played the role of a weak woman.

— Oh, blood! I’m most afraid of blood, I faint at the sight of blood.
— The basin is so heavy, I’m so weak, I can’t lift it at all.
— You guys are always fighting and killing, it’s so scary!

The female warrior who secretly admired the young general retorted angrily, “Brother Duan doesn’t like delicate girls like you!”

He Simu tilted her head: “Is that so?”

One day, the young general stumbled on the battlefield and was ambushed.

He Simu, who couldn’t lift a finger and fainted at the sight of blood, stretched her limbs and lit a ghost lamp: “Let me see who dares to bully our General Duan, Little Fox Duan?”

Duan Xu thought he shouldn’t have provoked the Ghost King.

It took him several months to learn her real name was He Simu.

But perhaps even with a lifetime, he couldn’t make her remember his name in her four hundred years of long life.

“My name is Duan Xu, the Xu of ‘Feng Lang Ju Xu’ (封狼居胥).”
