Xie An's father found him a husband for money, then left his son nothing but a phone number before running off.
The other party was rich and powerful, and went straight to Xie An's school to wait for him.
Xie An planned to get in the car and explain things properly. He was a grown man, after all. Who would want to marry another man and bring home that kind of trouble?
But when Xie An reached his destination and looked up, he saw a young man's memorial portrait and an elderly wealthy couple.
Are you kidding me, you old bastard? You told me to get married, but you never said the other guy was dead!
You tricked a dead man into marrying another man. May heaven strike you down!
Xie An profusely apologized to the wealthy couple, saying that if they really couldn't find his father, he would grit his teeth and repay the money.
To his surprise, the couple said with all seriousness, "No need. You're the one we want. You're perfect."
Xie An: "...May I ask, is your son gay?"
The couple: "No."
"Then why?"
"You'll understand someday."
Leaving him with that cryptic remark, the wealthy couple smiled as they walked out of the villa.
Xie An couldn't understand what there was to smile about when their son was dead, but with the enormous bride price his father had run off with, he had no choice but to stay there for now.
Then, that very night, good grief, his ghost husband pinned him to the bed!
