[Rebellious, cocky, and laid-back fallen goddess vs. loyal, scheming, abstinent, jealous Ghost King]
1v1, both leads are each other's first and only love, secret identities
You might not believe it, but a goddess who had once been wed in a ghost marriage struck herself dead with lightning.
Everyone said it was karma, but Meng Qingqiu had her reasons and couldn't explain herself: It was an accident! Who would want to kill herself? So who did this to me?
At her temple, she's known as “a real immortal pretending to be a fake one.” By a twist of fate, she stumbles into the ghost realm and forms a bond with Xu Jue, the Ghost King's “male concubine.” With Xu Jue's open assistance and the Ghost King's covert nudging, Meng Qingqiu learns the truth behind her “death” and successfully punishes the villain.
Her “ex-husband” threatens and tempts her, all for one night together. Xu Jue flies into a rage, and the Ghost King kills the ex. Her “mortal enemy” pursues her, intent on taking her life. Xu Jue flies into a rage, and the Ghost King deals with the enemy.
“Strange. Why do I feel like the legendary Ghost King and I are so in sync?”
Meng Qingqiu insists on finding her deceased husband from the ghost marriage, while the Divine Realm keeps shamelessly begging her to come home. As it turns out, the notorious Ghost King has stormed the heavens to make a grand proposal, declaring that he will marry no one but Meng Qingqiu, and threatening to destroy the Divine Realm if she refuses!
Meng Qingqiu politely declines. “I was already married in a ghost wedding. If I marry you, I'll be a second wife.”
“This King had a wife before.”
“I bring terrible luck to husbands. My last one died right after we finished the wedding ceremony.”
“This King had a wife before.”
“...” Meng Qingqiu laughed in exasperation.
It wasn't until their wedding night that she truly laughed.
“Xu Jue? You're the Ghost King?”
“Why didn't you tell me sooner? So I'm the dead wife you were talking about!”
