Synopsis

(New book out now, please show your support!)

The first book: horror, terror, and the uncanny. The sequel: comedy and humor!

Two stories: The Bride in the Red Coffin + its sequel, also known as My Ghost Wife Keeps Trying to Scare Me to Tears.

When crimson ripples spread across the deep pool, I finally saw the bone comb in the hands of the bride in the sunken coffin. Carved into it were my birth details, even though I had been missing for three years.

Xu Xiaomo was drawn home by tales of the Sunken Coffin Pool.

Beneath the blood-red moonlight, he saw the bride in the red coffin rise to the surface. The bone comb in her hand bore his birth details, though he had been missing for three years.

“Husband, it’s time to drink the nuptial wine,” the bride said, her voice rippling like water.

The village elders warned him: whoever the sunken coffin bride's bone comb points to is the man she has chosen as her husband.

Xu Xiaomo fled back to the city, but every night at midnight, he heard the sound of someone combing their hair.

In the mirror, the bride smiled tenderly. “My dear, you won’t escape this time.”

He opened the family genealogy and found the words “Matched with the hemp-clad bride” written in vermilion beside his name.

In the fragments of his memories from the day he disappeared after falling into the water three years ago, a girl in a wedding dress was clutching his hand tightly.

On the eve of graduation, Xu Xiaomo found a strange pendant in an old box.

That night, a beautiful woman in a red wedding dress suddenly appeared in the mirror, holding up a bone comb as she smiled at him. “My dear, it’s time to comb your hair.”

Terrified, he locked the pendant in the fridge. But the next day, the whole school saw a red-clad female ghost climb out of his backpack and start gnawing on a popsicle.

Then he happened to find his diary from three years ago. On the last page, it said: “Mayi, help me up. We have to protect our home!”
