    "The Evil Son-in-Law of Yin and Yang" - High-Energy Supernatural Warning! Four brides are carried in coffins for their wedding night, but the groom hangs himself on the wedding bed. A red mark meanders like a snake on his neck, and a three-inch-long, bluish-purple tongue hangs down—this is the fourth son-in-law to be hanged under the dragon and phoenix wedding candles during the Chongzhen era. "The marriage of four clans—power, wisdom, wealth, and beauty—is actually a thousand-year-old scheme to raise a venomous snake." The feng shui compass trembles wildly in the underground palace of the yin house, and black blood seeps from the cracks in the blue bricks. I clutch the gilded marriage certificate and finally glimpse four hanging coffins deep in the dragon's lair: each coffin is nailed with a seven-inch bone-piercing nail, the ends of which are wrapped with the birth dates and times of the sons-in-law of each generation. The moment the red silk is lifted, four pale faces simultaneously reveal fangs beneath the veil of flowing black hair. "Does my husband know that the resentment of a substitute can dispel evil?" The long-tongued bride's fingernails pierce my Adam's apple, and a dense array of hanging knots crawls out from under her crimson wedding dress. It turns out that the souls devoured by divine retribution are using the flesh and blood of the new groom to rebuild their ghostly bodies. And hanging upside down from the dome of the underground palace are hundreds of corpses, each with the totem of the four tribes branded on its neck—this time, the groom is none other than Your Excellency.

    ⚡️The King of Feng Shui⚡ Nineteen bolts of heavenly lightning cleaved the earth, bypassing the birthing room and severing a century-old elm tree. Crimson sap flowed from the charred heartwood, soaking into the lightning-patterned birthmark on my back—Wu Jie. The fortune teller Wu said I was destined for calamity, facing eighteen tribulations in my lifetime, so my grandfather gave me this name. When I was born, I had a strange appearance, a pointed chin, and a head resembling a fox. Moreover, fine, sharp teeth grew in my mouth immediately after birth, and I was covered in a layer of fine white fur. The old hunter trembled, saying that on that day, the skin shed by an eight-tailed woman in the cave wrapped my swaddling clothes, her snake eyes reflecting the thunder and fire of the heavens. At seven, my soul was taken by the underworld officials; at ten, I was gnawed at the bones by a hundred ghosts; eighteen blood tribulations in my destiny chart were like spider silk binding my neck. At midnight tonight, the coffin nails clanged again, signaling the approaching great calamity of three years. I touched the scar on my chest from the lightning strike, and smelled the scorching scent of the old elm tree from years past wafting through the window… Suddenly, the blind old woman at the village entrance regained her sight, pointing at me and screaming, "The coffin child is alive!" The compass spun wildly, and the ancestral corpse oil lamp illuminated a woman in a wedding dress hanging upside down from the roof beam, eight snow-white fox tails tucked into her hair. The price for avoiding the heavenly lightning years ago must ultimately be paid with flesh and blood— (Outside the window, new branches sprouted from the old tree, but why did they resemble human hands reaching for the window frame?)
