My Husband Has Been Dead for a Thousand Years

Yu Nan has an extremely yin constitution and has been able to see things other people cannot since childhood.

When he turned eighteen, his parents arranged a marriage for him, marrying him into the locally renowned Yan family, a family of occult practitioners.

Although Yu Nan was strongly opposed to becoming a man’s wife, his family said this was the only way to keep him alive.

On his wedding day, Yu Nan wore a red bridal gown and had a white veil over his head as he was sent into the Yan family ancestral hall.

A pair of white candles burned on the altar, with a cold memorial tablet between them. Only then did Yu Nan realize in horror that his parents had arranged a ghost marriage for him. He was marrying the Yan family’s founding ancestor.

An ancestor who had been dead for more than a thousand years.

Yu Nan tried to run away, but the ancestral hall doors slammed shut behind him.

In the thick darkness, a tall, icy body pressed against his back. A cold, sticky tongue licked his earlobe, and a low, amused voice murmured, “My little bride, you smell delicious.”

Trembling with fear, Yu Nan could only beg pitifully, “H-hubby... don’t eat me, sob...”

Three days later, Yu Nan was let out of the Yan family ancestral hall and returned to campus.

He thought everything that had happened in the hall had been a nightmare, unaware that it was only the beginning.

The bullies at school ran into a ghost in broad daylight and were scared out of their minds.

The upperclassman who had designs on him was found dead in the wilderness that very night.

Those in the occult world who had bullied him inexplicably knelt and begged him for forgiveness.

Even all the resentful spirits and vengeful ghosts that had surrounded him since childhood vanished without a trace.

And in the dormitory late at night, icy fingers slipped into his mouth and teased his tongue. The familiar voice chuckled beside his pillow, “They touched you. Which hand did they use?”

Only then did Yu Nan belatedly realize that the ghost he had married was a founding ancestor with an extremely possessive streak.
