Introduction to the work "Blood Moon Contract"
During the Ghost Festival in the 27th year of the Republic of China, the Corpse Fragrance Valley at the junction of Guizhou and Guangxi was shrouded in a blood moon, and the ghost wedding ceremony that was interrupted a hundred years ago was re-enacted in the ancestral hall. The 21-year-old Lou Ji was wearing a wedding dress soaked in the blood of thirty-six brides, and the cinnabar tear mole on the corner of her right eye was moving magically in the moonlight. When she was forced to put on the red hijab, the sudden ringing of the bell awakened the memory of her past life - this body was the reincarnation of the ghost bride who was buried alive a hundred years ago.
In the secret compartment behind the altar table in the ancestral hall, three hundred marriage certificates with "Lou Ji" written on them glowed with blood. Every time she comes, she will turn into the bride from a hundred years ago, looking for an opportunity to break the curse in the smell of corpses. The bone aunt in the ancient mirror sneered, the tomb-guarding puppet had copper coins engraved on his chest with birth dates, and the soul-stirring borer whispered the call of a loved one behind his ear. Lou Ji holds a soul-attracting flag, and each time she absorbs a soul, a wrinkle appears. The jade bracelet around her waist reflects the despair on her face when she was buried alive in her previous life.
As the seven-day period approaches, a mysterious Taoist priest breaks in with a compass engraved with the "Lu Ban Sutra" and reveals that the entire Valley of Corpse Fragrance is actually an upside-down coffin. The bones in the wedding sedan are piled up like a mountain, the wedding banquet dishes turn into beating organs, and every time one of the thirty-six soul-inducing lamps is extinguished, a new bride climbs out of the coffin. Lou Ji discovered that only by lighting thirty-six human oil candles in the ancestral hall at the same time at childbirth can the dead end of the ghost marriage curse be solved.
When the blood moon rose to the sky, all the tombstones in Corpse Fragrance Valley exploded at the same time, and the ghosts of three hundred ghost brides emerged from the ground. Lou Ji bit the tip of her tongue and spurted out the blood from her heart. She cut the peach wood hairpin into the void, only to see the rotting face of the groom emerging from the blood moon - that was her closest brother in her previous life.
