The Unlucky Taoist and His Ghost King Wife

Pre-release novel: After the Underworld's Little Judge Goes on a Variety Show, He Becomes a Star

One-line summary: After the Underworld's little judge is reborn as a human child, he takes his older sister on a metaphysics variety show and becomes a sensation. Note: The little judge and Jiang Yun come from the same world.

Blurb: Rong Ziqian has an all-yin birth chart and the fate of a lone star doomed to misfortune. He sees ghosts every day and is a professional bad-luck magnet.

Before his master passed away, he went through quite a bit of trouble to find Ziqian a powerful patron: a formidable but rather forgetful lady, the Ghost King Jiang Yun.

Rong Ziqian: ??? Arranged marriages are a terrible idea, Master! And this is a ghost marriage!

Jiang Yun: (Looking at her freshly acquired little husband, whose features are as lovely as a painting and just about pleasing enough to the eye.) Mm, I suppose I can protect him.

After starting university, Rong Ziqian's "ghost-attracting constitution" only gets worse:

His roommate suddenly becomes listless. Could a ghost be haunting him? Ziqian helps the ghost find its family and let go of its fixation, then sighs: It's really not easy to build up good karma.

There's always a book thief in the library's rare-books section? A gentlemanly ghost steals a century's worth of knowledge and nearly drains him dry! Luckily, Jiang Yun steps in: You dare touch someone of mine? Did you ask my permission?

A hungry ghost haunts the dormitory, refusing to leave. A ghostly mirror spirit possesses someone during a live stream of a spirit-writing session in the arts building...

Clutching his master's half-baked legacy in one hand and his Ghost King wife's leg in the other, Rong Ziqian begs, "Shanshan! I can never repay you for saving my life, so I'll just have to give myself to you!"

Jiang Yun raises a languid brow. "Oh? You've given yourself to me twice already, little ghost."

As the mysteries deepen, forgotten memories of their past lives seem to quietly resurface...

[Bonus Scene]

One day, his roommate finally asks, "Ziqian, why do you burn incense to this keychain every day? What's going on?"

Rong Ziqian looks righteous. "What keychain? That's a divine tablet! I worship it because my wife is on it. A man should take responsibility!"

Roommate: "...So that's why you turn down every upperclassman and underclassman who asks you out?"

Just then, the keychain warms slightly, and a lazy chuckle rings out. "Oh? At least you know how to behave."

Rong Ziqian: "!!!" (Internal monologue: That was close. I survived another day.)

Theme: Break through illusions and stay true to yourself. With you by my side, I have nothing to fear.
