I, Wu Xie, am the son of an ordinary antique dealer in Hangzhou. I am twenty-four this year. I am unmarried and have no bad habits. Except for the occasional inexplicable fights I am dragged into by my third uncle.
When I was twenty-four years old, my family arranged a marriage for me. The other party is a wealthy family in the mountains of western Hunan. His surname is Zhang. It is said that his family has guarded the ancestral graves for generations and is quite prestigious in that area. My father said that this was a favor owed by my grandfather back then. Now people are coming to ask for it, asking me to provide a ghost marriage for the 100-year-old patriarch of the Zhang family who just passed away.
Dark marriage. Give me a living person for a dead person.
Of course I refused. But my third uncle's words made me change my mind: The Zhang family is most likely the same family as the one written in your grandfather's notes.
Grandpa's notes contain records of a mysterious immortal family. The fingers on their right hands are extremely long, and they have been guarding a shocking secret for generations. The patriarch of that family is said to have disappeared decades ago.
The moment I was put into the sedan chair and carried into the Zhang Family Ancestral Hall, I saw my "groom."
A body lying in a coffin. His face looked as if he had just fallen asleep. Those slender hands were placed on his chest, and the two fingers on his right hand were extremely long.
Then, the moment the coffin lid closed, in the darkness, a hand grasped my wrist.
Cold, but with a pulse.
"Don't make a sound," he said.
That was Zhang Qiling, the head of the Zhang family, who had lived for who knows how many years. He faked his death and brought me here because there is a secret buried in the Zhang family's ancestral tomb that could overturn the entire world of tomb robbing. And only I can find the key to this secret.
On the night of the underworld's wedding, the corpse rises from the coffin, and a thousand-year mystery begins.
Later I found out that he had been waiting for me for a thousand years for this ghost marriage.
