[Airheaded wooden girl vs. gentle-faced, dark-hearted, possessive and gloomy male ghost]
Su He was born a little dimwitted, and everyone said she would never find a husband.
Who would have guessed that a blind date with a schoolteacher would end in marriage?
The schoolteacher was named Cang Xuan. He was mild-mannered and courteous, with a good reputation in the village. Though they lived modestly after marrying, he always gave her the best of everything and took wonderful care of her.
Su He thought she wouldn't mind spending the rest of her life that way.

That was, until a bolt of lightning shattered the huge stone at the village entrance, which had been sealed for over a thousand years.
Su He went to see what was happening, only to watch a plume of black smoke rise from the stone and burrow into Cang Xuan's body.
Cang Xuan's gaze turned dark and unfathomable, as if he had become someone else. A memory sealed inside the stone appeared in the air.
A man who looked exactly like Cang Xuan raised a hand and annihilated both the immortal and mortal sects, staining eighteen provinces with blood.
"He's the Demon God's reincarnation! Run! He'll kill us!"
The villagers fled in every direction, desperate to get away. The schoolteacher who had once been as gentle as jade was now a target of everyone's hatred.
Amid countless fearful stares, Cang Xuan looked only at her.
He held out his hand. "Will you come with me?"
She said nothing and turned to pack her bags.
*
Su He had meant to pack her things, but ended up falling into a cave.
She slept for only three days, yet three years passed outside.
Their home was gone, and so was her husband.
She searched everywhere for him, but through a twist of fate, she ended up joining a cultivation sect. They coaxed her into vanquishing evil and earning merit.
*
Then she was captured and brought before a vast black palace.
Several demons dragged her into a blood-soaked hall. "My lord, these are the so-called righteous cultivators who claim they'll raze the demon realm."
A man in dark robes stood with his hands behind his back. He didn't even look at them. "Kill them all."
The cultivators around her trembled in fear.
Only Su He lit up. She smiled, her voice sweet. "Husband, I finally found you."
The man in dark robes stiffened. He came closer, lifted her chin, and said in a cold voice, "So it really is you. Didn't you say you didn't want me anymore?"
"I went to pack my bags. You were the one who didn't wait for me."
