Description

Wei Zai had become emperor long before she died, but when she did, she became stuck within her own imperial mausoleum. After waking up from prolonged slumber, she realized that more than a millennium had passed. Her mausoleum was now a large public park, and the music from the square-dancing aunties was deafening. Wei Zai was a relatively good-tempered emperor, so she didn’t care much about the disrespect the people were showing; she would even mingle among them, dancing along. However, spending her days as the only ghost around was lonely, and she missed her old friends. Just as she was reminiscing, when she turned around, she caught sight of Xu Qingchu in a modern getup. T/N on the context of the title: the Chinese title, 《白云千载》 (bai yun qian zai) is taken from the line of poetry 白云千载空悠悠 (bai yun qian zai kong you you), or roughly, "White clouds have drifted leisurely across the skies for millennia". Thus, the title takes inspiration from that, signifying that the two characters meet again in different lifetimes after more than a thousand years.
