Ghost Wife

Ghost wife × man pretending to be her husband

Ming Yue was a lonely wandering ghost.

One day, she met a man.

He was handsome and distinguished, and could actually see her. He opened by telling her to come with him.

He said he was her husband in life, and had come to continue their unfinished love between the living and the dead.

Her husband treated her with tenderness and kindness, indulging her in everything. To have someone willing to share her fate, even in death, moved Ming Yue deeply.

But later,

Ming Yue slowly began to recall fragments of her memories.

She turned her face away.

The man before her had no idea, and continued clumsily making up the story of how they had fallen in love.

He kissed her cold lips.

But who was he?

*

Yu Yan was a refined young gentleman, raised in a prominent family, disciplined and humble.

Only he knew

that the vile, lowborn blood running through him had always been watching his younger sister, the girl he'd known since childhood, from the shadows.

But his sister died...

After countless hardships, he finally found his sister, drifting alone between heaven and earth. But her soul was incomplete, and she no longer recognized him at all.

So much the better.

He was sick of being nothing but her brother.

Yu Yan lied to her,

and the confused ghost believed him.

The man and the ghost even started living together as husband and wife.

At daybreak,

Yu Yan looked at his unguarded wife in his arms and felt an extraordinary sense of contentment.

Even without remembering the past, she still depends on me so much.

But when Ming Yue pressed her face against his chest,

what she coveted was

his warm, solid body, the springy skin beneath her fingers, his pounding heart, and the vibrant aura of the living.

A little bonus scene:

Ming Yue was puzzled.

Honestly, this man was so strange. He got mad when she didn't remember him, but when she started to vaguely recall their old marital intimacies, he got mad about that too.

*

After the truth comes out, she hides and he chases.

But even if things are awkward, they're still siblings who have to go home and eat the reunion dinner together.
