Forced to Marry a Memorial Tablet

Coming soon: After My Husband Kicked the Bucket. Blurb below. Blurb: Lian Dan's husband was dead. He had already died before Lian Dan married into the Chen family. The person Lian Dan married was a memorial tablet. Forced to hold the icy tablet every night as he slept, Lian Dan's warm body gradually warmed it up. There was a temple at the eastern end of Kaoshan Village, famous for granting wishes for children. The Chen family's old lady wanted Lian Dan to give her a grandson, so she sent him to stay at the monks' temple for a few days and pray for blessings. When Lian Dan went to the temple to offer incense, he overheard the senior monk telling his mother-in-law that he could make Lian Dan's dead husband return at night to consummate their marriage. Terrified, Lian Dan naturally wanted no part of it. But his mother-in-law beat him mercilessly, and going to his parents for help did no good. With nowhere else to turn, Lian Dan had no choice but to go. On the night he moved into the temple, the room was pitch-black. Lian Dan watched in terror as the door, which had been locked, swung open. A white shape floated toward him, bringing with it the stench of blood and decay. Tears filled Lian Dan's frightened eyes. His lips trembled as he opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He only mouthed the word, "Husband." The white shape looked down at him for a while. Then a cold, skeletal finger brushed Lian Dan's vulnerable neck and tugged open his clothes... Lian Dan gritted his teeth and endured that night. A month later, Lian Dan was indeed pregnant. Overjoyed, the Chen family's old lady treated him exceptionally well. She stopped beating and scolding him, and even made him delicious food. But Lian Dan wasn't happy at all. Instead, he spent every day terrified and on edge. Only he knew that his husband had turned into an evil ghost. That night, the temple had been covered in blood and severed limbs, like a vision of hell. The monks had been slaughtered like livestock. After Lian Dan gave birth to a chubby baby boy, the Chen family's old lady was overjoyed. While showing him off outside, she tripped over the threshold and fell so badly she was confined to bed. A traveling doctor passing through the village came to examine her and prescribed some medicine. Lian Dan asked when his mother-in-law would recover. The young doctor, handsome and refined but tall and imposing, fixed him with an eagle's gaze for a moment. When Lian Dan began to panic, the doctor's eyes shifted to the child in his arms. He stared with unusual intensity and said in a slow, icy voice, "She won't recover." The next day, the Chen family's old lady's son came home, risen from the dead. [Comments are open.
