Summary
"His Highness may call me anything he wishes."
Xie Lian doesn't have the imaginative energy to conjure up anything meaningful for this stranger, so he says, "In that case, you might as well be Wu Ming."
The ghost bows his head further. His shoulders sink slightly, less slumping and more settling into himself. It's like he likes the dehumanizing name.
He says, "'Wu Ming' is perfect."
Xie Lian's frown deepens. He tells him, "Pick a different one soon."
_
After Xie Lian is tortured in his own temple, he wakes up in the care of a freshly-formed wrath ghost. "Wu Ming" follows him home and, with his carpentry experience, medical knowledge, street smarts, and fighting skills, makes himself indispensable to Xie Lian's family.
To protect Xie Lian from Bai Wuxiang, Wu Ming swears that he'll do whatever he must to get stronger, all the while becoming one more person that Xie Lian couldn't bear to lose.
