Supernatural + Slice of Life + Single Female Lead + Family Matters + The Warmth and Coldness of Human Nature
Meng Xinghe is an ordinary bookstore owner on West Street in Jingnan City.
His ex-girlfriend jumped to her death, then came to stand on his chest in the middle of the night and demand his life.
His pen pal of six months is a faceless female ghost.
The owner of the coffee shop next door takes off his Big Bad Wolf mask and says he is the City God.
Then he hands Meng Xinghe a book called The Record of Ghostly Bonds and tells him that arranging marriages for the dead is now his job.
“Do I have the right to refuse?”
“No.”
“Then what about insurance and a housing fund?”
“...We’re still working on that.”
It’s a job with no salary or social security, where a vengeful ghost could strangle him at any moment.
But Meng Xinghe gradually realizes that behind every ghost wedding lies a love and an obsession that refuses to let go, even in death.
