Name: The Teng Snake Takes a Bride, and a Hundred Ghosts See Her Off
Author: Zhen Tong

Synopsis

[Strong Female Lead] [Metaphysics] [Devoted Husband] [Ensemble Cast] [Pure Romance] [Mystery and Comedy]

My name is Su Xiaowan. I was born in a small village in the south.

I was born on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, the Ghost Festival, commonly known as the “Ghost Day.”

Legend has it that on this day, the gates of the underworld swing wide open and ghosts roam everywhere. So after paying respects to their ancestors during the day, everyone stays indoors, afraid of attracting anything unclean.

On the night I was born, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled as the wind and rain lashed down. But I kept kicking inside my mother's belly, refusing to come out.

The midwife said I was the longest delivery she'd ever handled. It began at noon, and I put my mother through ten whole hours of labor. She even fainted once.

It wasn't until late at night that some hissing sounds came from the courtyard. My father followed the sound outside and seemed to see a huge black python coiled at our gate. He was terrified.

With a clap of thunder, I finally came into the world, crying loudly.

The black python disappeared, too...

There's a Snake Immortal Temple behind our village. They say it enshrines a thousand-year-old snake immortal.

When the Japanese invaded, the Snake Immortal once manifested as a giant python and devoured them all. The villagers were so grateful that they built a temple in its honor.

My father always said the Snake Immortal had blessed me and helped me be born safely.

Though I was born safely, I don't know if it was because I was born on Ghost Day, but ever since I was little, I've been able to see things that shouldn't be seen...
