Name: The Ghost Wife, Yu Niang
Author: Jerusalem

Synopsis

This novel takes inspiration from the case of Yang Ji, eldest son of the Ming dynasty's high-ranking official Yang Shiqi. Yang Ji tyrannized the local people for years before finally being exposed. The story follows Jiang Han, whose chance encounter with the female ghost Zhong Yuniang sets the two of them off from Jiangxi on a journey north to Beijing to petition the emperor directly.

The story is set against real events, but I made up the causes and course of what happened. I think I did a pretty good job: alongside the strange and fantastic tales, the story weaves in many historical events, social issues, and reflections on human nature. As I tell the story, I also hope to give everyone a place to let off steam.

Having learned from the failures of my previous works, I’ve woven plenty of conversational language into this story in hopes of making it feel like someone is telling it to you. I hope it won’t disappoint.

Enough chit-chat. Let’s get started!
