Deathly Parting Outshines New Wedlock

Three years after her death, Shen Yiyao's ghost is still drifting and cannot be reborn. Pei Jizhi, the husband who was distant with her while she lived and who had no interest in advancing himself, has spent those three years in mourning for her. The mourning has earned him a good name, and he has done well out of it, with promotion at his post. She cannot let that stand and sets out to make trouble for him as a ghost. He can see her now, and he gets the better of her. The two of them stay tangled up, needling and quarrelling, and in the middle of it the things she had wrong about him while she was alive start to come apart.
