The first time Mu Wanni saw Jiang Hanji, the man's face was deathly pale and his robes fluttered in the wind. He said he wanted to ask her a small favor.
Mu Wanni nervously agreed.
Jiang Hanji's gaze was cool and distant. "The stonecutter was careless, and there's a mistake on my tombstone. Could Miss Mu add one stroke to the 'seven' in the phrase 'seven feet tall,' changing it to 'nine feet tall'?"
"..."
Seeing his earnest expression, Mu Wanni fell silent.
It seemed men weren't the only ones with strong pride. Male ghosts had it too!
Mu Wanni transmigrated into a paranormal detective novel as a cannon-fodder supporting female character.
Because she was exceptionally beautiful, both humans and ghosts fell for her. In the novel, she was invincible and got everything she wanted.
Her only problem was the male lead.
According to the plot, once the heroine appeared, the male lead would cruelly abandon her.
Mu Wanni decided to break off the engagement first.
The two great families had been joined by marriage for generations, and their union couldn't end with the two of them. The head of the Jiang family went to consult their own ancestor.
In the tomb, the ancestor pondered for a moment, then said, "Then I'll marry into the family instead."
The clan head immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
The living and the dead belong to different worlds. How could such a marriage work?
Jiang Hanji, King of Ten Thousand Ghosts, loves writing poetry and essays. One moment he's slaughtering everyone in sight; the next, he's sighing over the passing of spring. Mu Wanni calls him an affected ghost who makes a fuss over everything.
He won't eat earth-sheep ghosts because he thinks they're ugly.
He won't eat corpse-possession ghosts because he thinks they stink.
Mu Wanni gradually loses patience. "What about poison ghosts?"
Jiang Hanji gives her a critical sidelong glance. "They're poisonous, bitter, and taste bad."
Mu Wanni: ...
Jiang Hanji frowns. "What's with that look? Yesterday you called me darling, but today you've seduced me and cast me aside. Ah, autumn winds turn cold, and hearts are fickle..."
Seeing that he's about to compose another poem, Mu Wanni scowls and covers his mouth.
"Sweetheart, darling, baby. There, is that enough?"
Jiang Hanji is finally satisfied, and calls her a lonely ghost every other word.
