The Girl Who Lights the Way Home
Chapter 1 · free to read
Once a year, when the two worlds drift close, the village of Wanhua wakes for the Lantern Festival. The gate home closes at dawn, and any spirit still lost when it shuts must wait a whole year more.
As the first star rose, the lanterns opened their eyes.
One by one, the lost spirits gathered behind her light.
But the river mist grew thick, and the path split two ways.
