I Heard I’m the Warlord’s Doomed White Moonlight

Yu Miaozhen was the only princess of the Zhao Kingdom, blessed with a noble status and unparalleled fortune. Yet on her wedding day, before the ceremony could even begin, her husband's family killed her with a cup of poisoned wine.

Her in-laws buried her bones underground and stole her extraordinary fortune. They invaded the royal palace of Zhao, rebelled, and became the kingdom's new rulers.

Yu Miaozhen turned into a vengeful ghost, her soul trapped in Zhao.

Twenty years after her death,

a man of humble origins, a heroic warlord, conquered Zhao.

That night, at a grand banquet, Zhao presented him with countless beauties, hoping to secure peace through marriage.

But the man sat lazily in the seat of honor and smiled. "I've admired your late Princess Miaozhen since I was five, and swore I'd marry no one but her. What am I supposed to do? Can you dig up her bones so I can have a ghost wedding with her?"

Yu Miaozhen: ?

In a chaotic age of warring powers, Zhou Su was born a commoner, but fought with such courage that he led his men to conquer several kingdoms. The world both respected and feared him as a warlord.

After conquering Zhao,

a crowd came to seek peace through marriage. He simply used the late Princess Miaozhen as an excuse to refuse the political union.

In truth, he couldn't even remember what she looked like.

All he remembered was catching a glimpse of her when he was a child. It was the day Yu Miaozhen got married. He was five years old, and pointed at her, saying that he wanted to marry her someday.

But the old Zhao Kingdom had fallen twenty years ago.

Yu Miaozhen's name appeared only briefly in the history books, and no one even remembered what she looked like. Who would care about a child's careless words spoken twenty years earlier?

But after the banquet ended,

amid the scent of blood,

he saw a woman slowly take shape. Her appearance was frozen on the day she died, radiant in her wedding dress. She tilted her head and gazed at him. "I heard you wanted a ghost wedding with me?"
