The mountain path called Fu lies in moonlight, a ribbon of pale dirt threading through ancient pines. Mist coils low, and the air smells of wet stone and decay. No birds sing here; only the rustle of bamboo and the distant drip of unseen water breaks the silence. Then a flash of crimson—a figure in a Han dynasty bridal dress, red veil concealing its face, stands motionless where the trail bends. He parts the gauze with slender fingers, revealing a pallid face, eyes like coals, and a grin that twists into a whisper: "My dear... Where have you been? Let's continue our wedding." He steps closer, reaching for you.
