Rule Horror: I Became the Marquis's Wife

Lin Miaomiao, a top modern-day lawyer, dies after pulling an all-nighter writing a legal brief. When she opens her eyes again, she's become the newlywed wife of the Marquis of Dingbei. Waiting for her is a screen full of deadly rules in a haunted scenario.

On her wedding night, the rules say she must not lift her veil and must kill the groom with a pair of scissors.

Lin Miaomiao immediately holds the scissors to her own neck. "My lord, under the laws of Great Xia, killing your wife is punishable by beheading! Think carefully!"

Her mother-in-law makes trouble during the tea ceremony? She skates in on a redwood board, performing a "dry-land sliding kneel," then downs the scalding tea in one gulp.

Ghosts try to put on a show? She pulls out the law on the spot and lectures them about keeping to the spirit of a contract. The whole household is thrown into chaos by her antics.

Just as she thinks she's the only one pushing the rules to their limits, one night the legendary marquis, a living King of Hell who never blinks when he kills, suddenly corners her and draws his sword. "An assassin is about to fall. Are you ready to help me exploit a loophole in the rules?"

Lin Miaomiao is stunned. Well, well! This stern-looking marquis is an old hand at exploiting loopholes too!

The married couple team up, and the rules don't stand a chance! They crash the System and bring the underworld to its knees!
