I stood beside the Duanhun Bridge in Wangsi City, and Meng Po handed me a bowl of soup. He said, "Drink up. Forget the karmic ties of past lives, and there will be a next life." Tears slowly slid down my once-flower-like face. I watched the stagnant water dripping into the Duanhun Bridge, but it didn't stir any ripples. No more of your hands wiped my tears away. Angry, I spilled Meng Po's soup. How could I forget my past life? I simply can't forget that sorrowful yet beautiful love from my past life, can't forget your clear gaze, and the distant promise we made.
That long winter ago, you stood so handsome amid swirling snow, quietly gazing before me. What once stirred gently in my heart? You told me you would love me forever and promised to go see the blooming snowflakes with me. Do you still remember?
That winter, you got married, and the bride was not me. You happily held the bride, almost forgetting I existed. Watching the bride's happy smile, watching your dancing bodies, not a single one noticed the girl in the corner gently wiping away her tears.
So in that snowy winter, I became a wisp of spirit, leaving behind my beautiful body. At that time, I wore the most beautiful and dazzling red wedding dress in girls' dreams, and after death, I became the legendary vengeful ghost. I did not give up, because I decided to be your bride again in the next life. I turned my head and left Wangsi City, ignoring Meng Po's warnings, drifting between the Underworld and the mortal world, becoming a legendary wandering soul. I drifted through the forest, using my beautiful face to steal the names of countless lecherous men. In my eyes, they all deserved to die. They didn't understand what true love was and could never resist the temptations of beautiful women...... Finally, because of an accident, you arrived in my world ahead of schedule. Watching your wife cry so hard she could barely breathe, I sneered. Drifting to your corpse, I gently stroked your face, as cold as mine, and memories echoed in my mind. I laughed—the first time I had smiled so intoxicatingly.
To find you, I came to Wangsi City again. The ghost guards stopped me at the door. When I tried every possible way to get rid of them, you drank Meng Po's soup, crossed Meng Po Bridge, and I sank once more into that forest.
I have lingered in the mortal world too long to be reborn.I could only wait for you in that forest where countless people had died.\ The you of the second life is still so handsome, the beautiful girl is fascinated by you. To prevent you from falling in love with another girl again, I decided to find you.\ I gently stop in front of your window, so that you can see the glow around me, then I dance outside your house, my red wedding dress moving softly with my body. Did you see it? Did you see my beauty and sorrow? This black night, this red dress…\ But why are you staring at me like that? Such a gaze makes me feel strange and terrified. I gradually stop my dancing arms, hovering in the air. Your face is pale; are you afraid of me?\ Just as I move closer to you, that person finally appears. Since the day I died, he has never let me go. He thrusts his cold sword into my chest. I sneer, sneering at his self-righteous belief that he could penetrate everything, sneering at how such an old man could understand my unwavering devotion until death.\ Now, he steps away from you, and you just stand silently. I understand. You reach out and slowly take something from within my already ethereal body. It was once in bloom, but now it has turned to ashes.\ Suddenly I realize it is red, just like my wedding dress. Closing my eyes, icy liquid slides down my cheeks. Yes, that was my tear, the first tear since I became a ghost. You thought I would vanish forever, but because of that tear, you woke up.\ The old witch said that ghosts do not cry. If a ghost truly sheds a tear, a wish can be granted, but ultimately the soul will be scattered.\ In the snow-filled winter, I lie in your arms, watching the snowflakes in full bloom, crying.\ After two hundred years, the day I had been waiting for finally arrived. Heaven still granted it to me!\ You tell me that two hundred years ago, you were diagnosed with a terminal illness. To prevent me from being burdened, you married another girl, but seeing my helplessness and loneliness, you once regretted it.\ The next day, what you saw was this beautiful body wearing the red wedding dress.\ You kissed my forehead, tears sliding from your cheeks across mine, carrying a sweet smile. I closed my eyes, slept for a long time, and finally disappeared from this world forever…\ I do not need your promises; promises cannot keep away wind and sand.\ I just want, in the quiet midnight, to have you with me to talk.If possible, this winter, I want you to accompany me to see the blooming snowflakes.
