The Ghost King has a daughter named Lu Lichu. She is eight hundred years old, and it is a fine time for her to marry.

Meng Po, who also serves as the matchmaker of the ghost realm, makes a prediction: there is a young general in the human world who will die in his prime a year from now. He would be a perfect match for their little princess.

Lu Lichu doesn't want to marry him, so she decides to find the young general a wife, ensure he lives happily ever after to a ripe old age, and sever the red thread of fate between them.

One day, it's the spirited and gallant Miss Xu, every bit as capable as a man. The next, it's Miss Jiang, who excels at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. The young general remains expressionless and turns them all down.

Lu Lichu gets anxious and stops the young general to ask what sort of wife he actually wants.

The usually expressionless Young General Song blushes. "The young lady from the Lu family seems nice. She's mischievous and charming, and I like her very much."

Lu Lichu's ears turn red too. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad?

The Unnamed Register says that Young General Song Yuzhou will die in the forty-fifth year of Tian'an.

That day, the sun burns fiercely. Song Yuzhou stands atop the city wall, covered in blood. What a pity, he thinks. I'll never get to marry Miss Lu.

A rain of arrows comes flying, piercing his armor and embedding themselves in his shoulder.

Amidst the sea of red, Young General Song sees his Miss Lu.

His Miss Lu is barefoot, silver bells jingling crisply around her ankles. At the sound of the bells, countless evil spirits crawl out of the earth, dragging the enemy riders from their horses and tearing them to pieces.

You'll catch a chill walking barefoot. That's what Young General Song thinks.
