A Lasted Love, Last Falling In Love
Eps: 3 Ghost Festival

My name is Shirley, I am 21 years old.my career is good and my life is happy.I have a friend named carroline, she is a girl of Canadian descent. He was also my first friend at work. Me and him are related both in terms of work and personal problems.Caroline and I are always together in joy and sorrow.My life feels perfect even without love. Yeah, I've enjoyed my life too much in terms of career and ignoring everything else, including finding a partner for me right now as long as there's a caroline, I don't need anything, including a man.

Everything should be fine until one day....

I went through time to this age just because I wanted to save my best friend Caroline, who was intent on ending her life. As a result, I was killed, and because of that, I was thrown into this age! But even so, I have no regrets because I have managed to save my best friend.

I can only hope that he can live a better life by opening a new page, and not crying for my departure as well as carroline, I think I should get used to living in this age, too.

Today is Ghost Festival Day, the day on which the ghosts come out through the Sui river to the afterlife. The people here believe that the Sui River is a sacred river, a river that becomes the path to eternal tranquility (*the path to the afterlife). therefore, the Sui River became a sacred place to sow ashes for those who died on the battlefield.

Once a year, on the day of the ghost festival, the emperor will lead a ceremony to pay homage to the spirits who have died on the battlefield. After that, it was only time for the ceremony to throw lanterns on the river as a symbol of hope and separation. It is believed that the spirits more quickly find the way, to the afterlife.

I thought about sweeping the lantern in the river, not that it sounded pleasant.on a pitch-black night, illuminated by a glimmer of eternal hope (*from the night lantern). It would be an amazing sight.

I never thought it would be like this!!!

3 Hours earlier, though,

"What???

are you kidding me?! How could you possibly agree to that proposal! And I just stayed here for a week. I mean, I only realized a week ago. I have not fully recovered, and father asked me to lead a ghost ceremony with his highness the emperor!"

"Yangmi, please listen to me first. The issue of you committing suicide has spread almost throughout the palace.If not for the emperor's majesty, it might have gotten worse. many ministers have asked the emperor to revoke the status of crown princess from you. Royal advisers suggest that you take part in the ghost festival ceremony, and prove that you are fine. father has spoken with His Majesty The Queen Mother, the queen mother also agrees with that." exclaimed the prime minister reassured.

"Dad, ma'am.Wouldn't the one who accompanied the emperor be an empress? since the empress does not exist, can't it be replaced by a concubine? why should I? Dad, the issue is beyond just ignore, because the issue will disappear over time.All you need to pay attention to now is your health, has not been a few days father does not sleep. Dad, I'll take care of you till you get well, how? That way, I can rest well."

"What if this is the emperor's word? are you going to reject her princess shen..you!"

Death sentence??? Oh, naw! No, no, no. This can't happen! My life this time should be better.well, I think about the matter of the ceremony later, I deal with this emperor first.

"Your highness the emperor! you here?"

"Honor to you, Your Majesty the emperor!(head down)

(Whispering) Yangmi why silence, quickly pay respect to the emperor."

"Ah, yes. Hail, Majesty the emperor! May the emperor live long.(*Subject to greeting)

"Prime minister, can you leave me alone with Shenyou?" ask emperor.

"Of course, Your Majesty, then I beg you to resign."

Quickly, the prime minister closed the door and hurried away from the room.

"Shenyou, don't you know the ghost festival is not an arbitrary festival.For the people of jiangzhou, the ghost festival is a very important festival. Where they forget their grief of war and open a new page expecting a better life. After all this time...

(Walk to the window and look up at the sky)

The life of the people of Jiangzhou is finally safe, calm and serene. For this peaceful life, we lost 3000 soldiers who died in the middle of war. The cry of a wife who lost her husband, a mother who lost her child, and even a child who lost her father.not only that, there is a wife who was forced to become a widow. and a child who had to be an orphan. Persecution everywhere, theft, murder and rape... While the state employees are busy partying, while the hearts of the people are being hurt.Then, it will always imprint my memory.

Since then I have been determined that as long as jiangzhou is under my rule, I will build jiangzhou into a prosperous and vibrant country. so that the burden carried by the ancestors will be reduced and the spirits who died on the battlefield will be calm."

Hearing him say so, made me think he(*emperor) would definitely make this jiangzhou country a country that stands strong(*famous) in history. I admit as an emperor there must be many difficult things to go through, but, I also believe that the struggle during this time will not be in vain. because the effort never betrays the results, even though it fails, it will not be in vain, there is no stopping to try. When he(*emperor) said that, he was really very handsome. With his ambition and conviction he was truly very admirable.
