The Whole Village Is Having a Ghost Wedding, but I Know That the Bride Is Alive

The whole village was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations to celebrate the underworld wedding. Only I knew that the bride under the red hijab was a living person. My name is Shen Zhili, a graduate student in folklore and the last generation of female ceremonial students. I was invited to an old house in the mountains to "marry" a dead young master. On the first night after entering the house, the house was locked, and there was a "Chen House Rules for Happy and Mourning" on the wall: 1. Before worshiping, you are not allowed to look at the newlyweds. 2. Red lights lead the way, white lights stop. 3. Henan wine must be drunk completely, no spills or leftovers are allowed. 4. If someone calls you by your real name, do not answer within three calls. … Everyone followed the rules obediently. Only I opened the "Family Rituals" handed down by my ancestors and found that all the rules were contrary to the rules. Those who followed the instructions smiled and stayed to "work as errands"; I, a formal etiquette man, rewrote the entire wedding in a ghost house. Others enter the ghost story to escape with their lives, but I enter to "do business" for the weird: the ghost marriage is changed to a requiem ceremony, the first seven days are spent keeping vigil for the deceased, and I accompany the paper man to visit the ghost market on the night of the Ghost Festival. The ancient books handed down from ancestors also come with vicious barrage of words, and everyone would find it offensive to say "this is a very crude etiquette". No censorship, no romance, the heroine is calm and professional, and her IQ is online throughout. What she held was not a wedding, but to snatch the living people back one by one from the hands of the dead. But the last article of the code reads: No one is allowed to walk out of this door before the ceremony is completed. No one told me that the missing deacon whose name was written in this ominous ceremony was me.
