A Sigh of Irises: The Skin-Suit Bride in the Attic

[One-on-one romance + household intrigue + reincarnation + revenge + strong heroine + supernatural mystery and suspense]

By chance, the young Tang Caihua comes into possession of half a volume of The Yin-Yang Pact of the Strange and a pair of Soul-Seeking Bells. Against her will, she repeatedly travels in spirit to eerie Republican-era realms, where she witnesses herself in a past life as a human-skin bride who was wrongfully killed in an attic. In the Underworld, the amnesiac ghost A Jiu, unable to be reincarnated, has waited a hundred years for his own reaper. Tang Caihua accidentally descends into the Underworld and, in the guise of a reaper, takes her own soul, A Jiu, back into the cycle of reincarnation.

In their past-life reincarnation, Tang Caihua and A Jiu’s souls reunite, and she is born as Meng Liyuan, the Meng family’s good-for-nothing second daughter, in the treacherous and uncanny city of Xingwu. In this life, she is once again forced into servitude at the Gu residence, where she finds a lifelong marriage built on genuine love. But a match is easy to find and hard to keep. The utterly useless Meng Liyuan becomes the romantic rival the Bai sisters are determined to eliminate. She watches as her beloved dies of a terminal illness and her elder sister leaps to her death…

This life seems just like the last, with everyone following the course laid out by fate. But she refuses to accept it: “If fate has dealt me a bad hand, I’ll rewrite it! If Heaven is unjust, I’ll make it fair!”

Why is she so bold? She says she is no longer the Meng family’s good-for-nothing second daughter. She is the extraordinary Meng woman with two bloodlines, able to make grass become spirits and wooden puppets become immortals. She is also a once-in-a-generation genius who wrote The Yin-Yang Pact of the Strange to defy Heaven and change her fate!

In this life, reborn through reincarnation, she will save everyone!
