Transported to Republican-Era China, I Married the Ghost King

Ci Chen transmigrates into a completed Republican-era novel about the true and fake young masters. His original body is the universally hated fake young master, on his way to be married off to bring good fortune to a sick man. In a few months, he will be dead. To save himself, Ci Chen decides that running away is the best option. But one strange incident after another draws him deeper into the affairs of his "husband's family." In a chaotic age, human lives are as cheap as grass, while evil spirits run rampant and demons cackle. The chastity arch bleeds and hisses. The human-skin factory runs day and night. A passionate young man whose ambitions went unfulfilled clutches a bloodstained letter, lingering at the boundary between life and death, unwilling to leave. A jiao that failed to become a dragon coils atop the dragon vein, eyes half-closed as it coldly watches the hearts of the people and the eerie happenings in the imperial capital. From the strange tomb of the Ghost King on Cangyang Mountain to the trapped dragon well on Jingshan, from a man forced to marry in someone else's place to the Ghost King's sole nemesis, Ci Chen suddenly realizes he was caught up in this game long before his fate was changed. His entanglement with Mu Chensha has lasted two thousand five hundred years, and it will continue even now. Everyone says Ci Chen sacrificed himself to serve the demon and bring peace to the cultivation world. Only those close to him know that Mu Chensha is Ci Chen's external conscience and moral bottom line. Reader's Guide: 1. This novel has had many titles.
