Seven Days of Joyful Mourning

[Sorry for the hiatus. I took a long break, and the paid chapters have now been unlocked, so the entire story is free. My ideas for the story have changed a lot since I first started writing it, so I plan to rewrite the earlier chapters and replace them. I'm sorry to everyone who bought the paid chapters, and grateful to all the friends who've stayed with me. I'll give Joyous Mourning an ending this year.]

The seventeenth day of the first lunar month is an inauspicious day for weddings.

But it was the day Yan Ling was to be married.

On the wedding day, the groom never came to fetch his bride.

The wedding procession didn't reach his family home until midnight.

The wedding took place in the dead of night, and the groom still hadn't arrived.

Yan Ling had no choice but to bow to a rooster in his place.

After she was carried to the bridal chamber, the groom still hadn't arrived.

Yan Ling drank the nuptial wine and promptly passed out.

When she woke, she found herself bowing at the wedding ceremony again...

This time, there was a groom beside her: her late first husband.

Her husband, risen from the dead and dressed in wedding robes, stared at her grimly. "Hello, my bride."

1. Everyone but the male and female leads is a villain, and everyone is a lunatic.

2. An ancient-style infinite-loop adventure, Chinese horror, and a chance to start over after death.

3. Supernatural beings, strange gods, and a love from a past life.

1.

Tang Ying has two childhood friends: one is a green tea, and the other is a white lotus. They studied together at a private school as children, and the three of them walked home side by side after class.

Everyone envies Tang Ying for having two older brothers from powerful families.

At last, Tang Ying reaches the age to marry.

Just as her family is about to honor her wishes and betroth her to a gentle man of equal standing...

The Tang family receives two marriage proposals.

One is from a childhood friend, and the other is also from a childhood friend.

Tang Ying: ???

2. They say one mountain cannot hold two tigers, and Xie Zheng and Bai Yi have been at odds since childhood.

At the urging of a certain silly girl, the two had no choice but to swear brotherhood. They hadn't taken it seriously, but that silly girl believed they were close.

To humor her, they had no choice but to keep acting like "the perfect brothers."

Then one day, Xie Zheng realizes he's fallen for that silly girl. He uses all sorts of schemes to woo her, and just as he's about to get engaged to her...

His so-called good big brother, Bai Yi, suddenly says to him coldly, "Dear little brother, I like Tang Ying too. Don't forget your place as my younger brother. Give her to me."

Xie Zheng gives a chilling smile, finally tearing away the last pretense between them.

"Heh. As my older brother, shouldn't you know that a brother must never covet his brother's wife?"
