    Chapter 1 I'm Here to Be Your Wife On the fifteenth of July, the night of the full moon, the gates of hell opened wide. A chilling wind blew outside Stone Mill Village. Jiang Xiaoxiao sat on a haystack, a string of sugar figurines in her hand, a gleaming kitchen knife at her waist. Beside her, on the village path, a handsome young man in a blue robe, carrying a basket and a lantern, hurried home. This young man was the "benefactor" Jiang Xiaoxiao had come down the mountain to find. The benefactor possessed no air of nobility whatsoever; in fact, a dark aura shrouded his head. He was truly shrouded in bad luck. Behind the young man, a hideous female ghost in red floated. Just as the ghost saw her chance to strike, Jiang Xiaoxiao snapped off the sugar figurine's head with a "crunch." The crunching sound of chewing the sugar figurine reached the ghost's ears. The ghost turned, her gaze fixed on Jiang Xiaoxiao, and then let out a series of eerie laughs. Jiang Xiaoxiao handed the sugar figurine to the female ghost and asked, "Want some?" Xie Xun, who was on the village road, turned slightly and saw a person sitting on a haystack not far away. The moonlight was hazy, so he couldn't see her face clearly, but judging from her voice, it should be a girl.
