Summary:
Yin Yu never expected to wake up again.
When he does so as a small ghost fire, he finds himself stuck with Quan Yizhen (who has been nurturing his soul) until he can take on a more stable form and begin his afterlife anew.
Or: Yin Yu's mortifying ordeal of being held gently in the hands of someone he convinces himself he hates, but definitely doesn't. If no paths are bound, there might even be healthy communication!
