Home/Romance/What the Jasmine Dew Remembers

by john1208·Translated by Novel AI Studio
Anan Pimsai has spent his life playing the part of the family's cheerful, unambitious disappointment, a role that perfectly masks his sharp intellect. But his charade ends when he's tasked with pacifying the 'Devouring Orchid,' a vengeful ghost said to haunt their ancestral home. To do so, he must perform the Rite of Reverence, a complex ritual that allows him to see and speak with the spirit. Expecting a monster, he instead finds Soriya, a clever, wistful young woman trapped for a century by a curse. She reveals her 'accidental' death was a carefully orchestrated murder, and Anan is the descendant of the man who framed her. Bound by the ritual and a shared desire for the truth, they forge an unlikely alliance. As they unravel the mystery, a deep connection grows, but their investigation unearths a shocking secret: Soriya was not the only victim that day, and the true identity of the ghost Anan has been falling for is the key to a century-old lie. Can he uncover the truth and free her soul without destroying his own family?
