Forced by her own sister to marry in her place and bring good fortune to the groom, Su Qingran assumes she’s going to wed a sickly man who’s barely clinging to life.
But when she lifts her veil on their wedding night, she finds a man with a deathly pale face and a terrifying aura of murderous energy. In the entire wealthy Li family, from the elders to the servants, everyone fears him.
Only then does she realize:
The substitute marriage is real, and so is the fact that she married the wrong man!
Everyone says the Li family’s second young master is a living corpse and a jinx, and that anyone who gets close to him will die.
Only Su Qingran knows that whenever ghosts and monsters haunt her or villains make trouble for her, this man is the one who shelters her in his arms:
“No one can lay a hand on my woman, not even a ghost.”
Later, she learns that he isn’t a sickly man at all, but the leader of the mystic arts world.
And she isn’t a sacrificial bride, but the wife destined for him.
One mistaken marriage, and she ends up spoiled rotten by her ghostly husband.
