The Ghost King Takes a Bride: The Cold Beauty Has Nowhere to Run

[Obsessive, Mad Ghost King ❤ Alluring, Cool Beauty]

[Fated Love · Past and Present Lives · Mystery]

In her previous life, she was a Moonfall Flower raised by the Ghost King himself. He cared for her devotedly and kept her by his side wherever he went.

The moment little Moonfall took human form, a rain of petals fell across the entire Ghost Realm for three whole days and nights. Everywhere the eye could see, pink flowers tinged with golden light blanketed the cold, gloomy land.

For the first time, the people of the Ghost Realm saw colors beyond black and gray. The golden light the petals gave off did not burn them, either.

That very day, the Ghost King, who had never shown any interest in women, suddenly announced his wedding. He would take a wife in ten days, and the Ghost Realm was about to welcome its queen.

As everyone in the Ghost Realm wondered who could have won the Ghost King's heart, the Ghost Queen mysteriously vanished at the very moment he went to escort his bride. The entire realm plunged into darkness, and not a trace of light remained.

“Who are you?”

Ever since she could remember, Moonfall had dreamed every night of a man in red, holding her as he played the qin beneath a blood moon.

His face was hidden behind a mask, and no matter how hard she tried, she could never make out his features. Whenever she spoke to him, he never answered.

This time, she assumed it would be no different and that she would get no answer. But, to her surprise, he looked at her. His blood-red eyes brimmed with deep rage, along with a tenderness and sorrow she could not understand.

“Luo'er, have you forgotten? I'm your husband.”

“Husband? I have never been betrothed. How can you say such a thing? Please watch your words, sir.”

Disapproval filled her beautiful, icy face. She would not let him casually tarnish her reputation. In the Kingdom of Wula, where women lived under countless strict rules, chastity was of the utmost importance. Any woman involved in an act deemed unchaste would be sentenced to death by fire.

“Luo'er, don't be afraid. I will find you, and then take you back to the palace.”
