The ghost woman looked at Jiangli with resentment, and at everyone else.
Upon hearing the words, a dark glimmer flashed across Jiangli's eyes, as if his eyes had changed, yet remained the same.
Through the ghost woman's emanating resentment, Jiangli saw her past.
Her name was Yuniang, she was once a famed courtesan, but unfortunately was blinded by love when she met a scholar. She thought it was heaven's pity allowing her to find a good man.
But the result...
She gave the scholar all the money she had saved to redeem herself, as travel expenses for the imperial exams.
The scholar worked hard, and during the spring imperial examination, he won the top spot and became the Top Scholar, even gaining the favor of a chancellor's daughter.
Yuniang waited long in the pleasure quarters, only to hear a rumor in the end, the Top Scholar was marrying a noble daughter, a beautiful story indeed.
