Luan Xiyun is cursed with the fate of a lone star, and she's caused n husbands to die.
But even as ghosts, they refuse to leave her alone. They even fight over her in the underworld from time to time.
Luan Xiyun: There's nothing more helpless than knowing I can't reach into the underworld and slap them.
Her late husbands are bound, restrained, whipped, controlled, and tormented by her, yet they still want to entwine themselves with her until death.
As the heir to an exorcist family, Luan Xiyun is hailed as a "once-in-a-century good-for-nothing."
Luan Xiyun: "..."
That's pretty good-for-nothing.
Everyone has their eyes on her position as heir.
Luan Xiyun: You're all picking on me, so I have no choice but to summon my dead husbands to fight for me.
She's a good-for-nothing, but the husbands she's caused to die are all powerful.
They're powerful, but she caused them all to die.
The Luan family is the most mysterious family on the continent of Sthone. Yet rumors about them have never died down, especially those about the current heir, Luan Xiyun.
They say her first husband was the brightest genius at Bellatans Academy and the person she loved most. Not long after they married, she played him to death.
Her second husband approached her to take revenge. Before he could succeed, she had him nailed to death, and in the end, he wasn't even buried in the Luan family cemetery.
Her third husband was chosen by the mysterious tree of the Luan family. He died for her in the struggle to become the Luan heir.
Her fourth husband fell in love with her at first sight at the third husband's funeral. But Luan Xiyun only used their marriage to destroy his family, and he eventually died of sorrow.
Alaier is her fifth husband. They say he looks the most like her first.
Soon, he'll die too.
Also known as: My Dead Husbands
Notes:
1. The heroine isn't a good-for-nothing in the strict sense. She's just unsuited to the family's abilities. Her family exorcises ghosts, meaning they destroy spirits, while she "exorcises" them by commanding spirits. You could think of her as an evil cultivator heroine. She needs highly compatible souls to serve her, so she chooses husbands. But she has no power unless her husbands die, so don't worry, husbands, you can go in peace.
2. The heroine is gloomy and cold, and is far removed from the world of the living. Although her husbands are dead, their souls can touch hers, so there'll be some of that, haha.
3. Not all the husbands are ghosts. There will be new husbands who are alive, then become corpses.
4. Supernatural setting with mild horror. The author doesn't believe in ghosts or gods; it's just a fictional premise.
Theme: If you love your husband, meet him at the cemetery.
