Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei enjoying each other.

What is a mountain god when his existence is bleak and lonely?

A ghost king wanders and carves a home in his heart.

“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.” - Sun Tzu

Shen Wei seems to have another secret enemy, but Zhao Yunlan will not let him face the danger alone. Even if the danger is their middle-aged, well-meaning neighbour.

If Shen Wei had any regrets about that little human life he had built for himself in Longcheng as a university professor, he certainly hid it from himself most of the time. On nights like that, where the incessant rain and dense mist made the air even colder and the streets even quieter, it was somehow difficult not to think about what had once been.
This night was just like many nights before, where Wu Xie wandered the streets, uncaring of the rain that slowly seeped through his clothes. Hoping just maybe it could sink all the way into his soul.

He needed to see the artist.

What really happened after the fade-to-black in episode 15 when Zhao Yunlan asked Shen Wei to repay him for helping to keep his secret identity concealed? We all know he didn't really want him to do the cleaning.
