There's so much going on beneath the surface of this chapter that I want to unpack. The ghost marriage ritual itself is rich with symbolic meaning. That red envelope containing strands of hair isn't just a plot device—it represents the intersection of tradition and exploitation. The female ghost used deception to trap an innocent person, turning a sacred ritual into a weapon. And the fact that she targeted Gao Wu specifically because he was handsome? That's a commentary on how desire and superficial attraction can make people vulnerable. The hair in the envelope is particularly symbolic. Hair represents identity, essence, connection to the self. By including it in the envelope, the ghost was essentially claiming ownership of Gao Wu's spiritual identity. It's intimate and violating all at once. But the deeper theme I kept coming back to is the commodification of everything—even the supernatural. Qin Su doesn't help Gao Wu out of the goodness of her heart. She does it for money. And when he tries to pay her in paintings instead of cash, her disappointment is palpable. The author isn't shy about this—Qin Su literally thinks 'What would she do with paintings? She wanted money!' It's almost satirical, but also refreshingly honest in a genre that often romanticizes protagonists who help others selflessly. Even the ghost's motivation is strangely commercial. She didn't want true love or revenge—she wanted companionship, and when she couldn't get it honestly, she tried to purchase it through a marriage contract. The college entrance examination angle adds another layer of social commentary. This ghost is trapped not just by death, but by the same academic pressures that trap living students. The system doesn't end at death. And Qin Su's solution—offering her reincarnation—means the ghost has to start from scratch again, potentially facing the same system. It's a bittersweet resolution. The spiritual energy themes also tie into the broader question of power and responsibility. Qin Su has grown stronger—her body tempering is progressing, her spiritual herbs are flourishing—but she's still hungry, still concerned with money, still a cat parent worrying about fish budgets. The supernatural and the mundane coexist seamlessly, which is really the point. Nothing is so transcendent that it removes us from human concerns.
It was outside that Draig looked at his precious sack he had made, he called it the bottomless pack. Like it's counterpart it could hold a large amount of items inside but unlike the other it could hold oceans and mountains within. Not that Draig intended to do such a thing... at least for the time being.
'Oh thank god!' I open the door and step out, standing on the roof I was previously on.
"No, not at all." She replied in a calm, unmoved manner. "I'm just warning you. Take her away from here... or else his lover will find her."

Jeric clears his throat.
"Sure. Do you want to come to the Village?" The Lechy said with a wry smile. By the time he looked at Hatis eyes he could see that he'd be killed if said otherwise.
"He hasn't, has he?" she said, making me look towards her. Her freckled forehead was glittering with beads of sweat as her red hair bounced with her every movement.
