To Be Fuel for the Night Main Quest Guide

Qingming Curse is unlocked by completing Be the Blade, a subquest of the main story, To Be Fuel for the Night.
After the events at the Lemnian Hollow, return to Suibian Temple and inform the Yunkui Summit of Ye Shunguang's situation. This prompts Ju Fufu and Elder Lu to look at ancient texts for a possible solution.
Head to Xiao'Guang's room to find her and Ye Shiyuan inside. He mentions the secrets of The Creator and the Qingming Sword, and how part of their powers share the same source.
Upon arriving at the Porcelume Processing Base, head to the eastern corner to find Ye Shiyuan. He mentions that connecting to the strange device could be a solution to solving Ye Shunguang's current condition.
Ye Shiyuan mentions how the Strange Device has remnants of The Creator's powers. Interact with it to attempt to save Ye Shunguang.
After entering the Strange Device, follow the corridors to find Ye Shunguang at the end. Interact with her to trigger a short cutscene.
Upon switching to Ye Shunguang, continue forward and interact with the Strange Device by the entrance. Move past it afterwards, then use Revelation - Retrace on the fallen pillars to clear the path. Continue to enter the Suibian Temple.
At the temple, approach the memory of Ye Shunguang and the Proxy's first meeting, where they save the orange cat. Exit the temple on the left to proceed.
Use Revelation - Retrace on the pillars once more to clear the path. The other version of Ye Shunguang appears immediately after, mentioning how the strange area is an illusion created from their memories.
Cross the bridge and follow the path, then enter the house at the end. Touch the Moment of a Memory again to relive forgotten memories.
Exit the room and climb down the stairs, then enter the temple to find another Moment of a Memory. Interact with it, then exit the temple on the left afterwards.
Upon exiting the temple, follow the path as Ye Shunguang narrates her agony in a monologue.
When the scene returns to the Proxy saving Ye Shunguang, rapidly press the button on the screen to restore her sense of touch.
Ascend the slope, then use Revelation - Retrace to clear the fallen pillars. Talk to little Xiao'Guang past it and help her recover the missing pieces of the music box.
| Shard | Location |
|---|---|
| Shard #1 | ![]() |
| Shard #2 | ![]() |
| Shard #3 | ![]() |
Enter the room to find the first music box shard on the desk, near Ye Shunguang's diary. Exit the room and follow the path to find the second shard inside what seems to be Gravity Cinema.
Leave the cinema and continue onward to find the last shard by Good Goods' store. Return to little Xiao'Guang and give her the shards to restore the music box and her hearing.
| Ingredient | Location |
|---|---|
| Osmanthus | ![]() |
| Spring Water | ![]() |
| Sticky Rice | ![]() |
Enter the doorway and follow the mountain path to find the first ingredient, the Osmanthus, on the ground. Continue onward and enter the temple, then turn left to find the second ingredient, the Spring Water.
Proceed near the main temple's entrance to find the third ingredient, the Sticky Rice, inside the straw container nearby. Afterwards, use Revelation - Retrace to restore the object, as well as Ye Shunguang's sense of taste and smell.
Cross the bridge to trigger a cutscene at the end. A fight with the Thrall's summon will occur afterwards, where you are limited to dodging at the start of the encounter.
Once the other commands are restored, defeat the enemy to trigger another cutscene.
Head towards the southern exit to trigger a dialogue sequence. Defeat the enemies that appear afterwards to proceed.
After the fight, enter the area to try to find Zhao. Another dialogue occurs soon after entering, followed by a comic sequence that shows a glimpse of Zhao's past.
Chat with Xiao'Guang at Waifei Peninsula, where she expresses her gratitude to the Proxy. Upon returning to Failume Heights, an Accompany event with Ye Shunguang occurs, where she comments on the city and the video stall.
Enter the Suibian Temple soon after and interact with the incense, then head to the inner chamber to find the rest of Yixuan and the rest.
Exit the temple and find Ye Shiyuan in a corner north of Yum Cha Sin. After the dialogue where he reveals one of the secrets of the Qingming Sword, follow him to Suibian Temple, where he confronts Yixuan and Elder Lu.
After the confrontation, speak to Yixuan by the main temple, where she expresses her regret and remorse for her shortcomings.
Enter the inner chamber and speak to Ye Shiyuan and Ye Shunguang afterwards, where the latter expresses her resolve in bearing the responsibility of the Sword Keeper outside of the influence of Elder Lu.
