The Bone Demon Has Risen from the Dead

Baibai is a bone spirit with no memories of her past life.

A thousand years ago, she was abandoned in a mass grave and became a squatter on the green mountain beside it.

Her carefree, lazy days on the mountain changed completely after she rescued a Taoist priest.

Before meeting the priest

As a bone spirit, Baibai knew what was expected of her. Most days, she dragged her bones around to scare off grave robbers.

After meeting the priest

Baibai: Eat, sleep, and flirt with the priest.

The priest: Lazy, unmotivated, and useless!

Baibai: With the priest around, why would I need to lift a finger?

The Haunting Ghost is one of Baibai's admirers and is quite prejudiced against Jian Qingfeng, who can't understand why.

Then, one day, just before the Haunting Ghost is reduced to ashes, he finally reveals that Baibai and Jian Qingfeng knew each other a thousand years ago.

Baibai has never cared about her past life, but at last she decides to leave her comfort zone and search for her memories.

But...

What is a Soul-Bone Nail?

And who was so cruel as to drive it into her body, making her immortal for thousands of years?

Who, exactly, is Jian Qingfeng?

This is a story of a Taoist priest and a bone spirit, of love and hate tangled across past and present lives.

Welcome aboard!

I rarely write fantasy, so this book has been a struggle and a tiring process for me. To keep the later plot coherent and flowing smoothly, I may not update as often as I do with the genres I'm more comfortable writing. Updates will be irregular. I'm sorry to everyone following along. Although updates will be slow, I will definitely finish the story, so feel free to wait until it's complete before reading.

My upcoming novel, "My Unspeakable Ex-Husband," is open for pre-orders. Please add it to your collection!

The country girl Yu Nian is bold and fierce. After an accident leads her to save the old madam of a marquis's household, she marries into the family and becomes the foolish young madam of Shen Fancheng, a sickly heir.

In her previous life, Yu Nian was unhappy with the marriage and accepted a divorce letter from her gentle husband. She thought she could build a life of her own, but for various reasons she ended up in a brothel and died with bitterness in her heart.

In this life, Yu Nian refuses the divorce letter.

She wants to rewrite her tragic fate, save her gentle husband, who was branded a traitor in her previous life, and protect her close friend, who died on the battlefield in the prime of life.

In her previous life,

when Yu Nian saw someone bullying her husband, she charged forward without a second thought, broom in hand, revealing all the bold fierceness of a country girl.

In this life,

Yu Nian remains perfectly composed. Beneath her wide sleeves, her fingers move deftly, and before long, those insolent people are clutching their throats and fleeing in agony.

Shen Fancheng is leaning against the wall, struggling to breathe and close to collapsing. His eyelid twitches, and a faint hint of suspicion enters his gaze as he looks at Yu Nian.

Master, we've investigated.

The young madam beat them up.

Master, we've investigated.

The young madam is highly skilled in medicine.

Master, we've investigated.

The young madam really did get there before us.

Shen Fancheng, once too frail to care for himself, stands tall in black robes. His handsome face has none of its former pallor. He turns around, a playful smile touching his lips. "I never expected my wife to be such a hidden treasure."

"My lady, let's consummate our marriage."

"No, your body can't take it."

"We'll find out if I can handle it by trying."

Many fictional details. Don't scrutinize them too closely.

Theme: It's never too late to mend your ways.
