A Yin Marriage

A copper coin crosses the red thread, and a bond between the living and dead ties two hearts together.

A Yin Matchmaker's daughter can travel between the realms of yin and yang, helping lovers separated by death and life continue their romance.

Li Baiwu was Jie Zheng's friend. The day Li Baiwu died unexpectedly, Jie Zheng was eighteen. He tried countless ways to see him again, until he discovered that his grandma was the legendary Yin Matchmaker's daughter.

That night, as spirit money fluttered through the air, Grandma said slowly, "Once a ghost marriage is performed, life and death no longer matter. From then on, you can no longer be considered alive. A bond between the living and dead only links those who love each other. I can't help you."

Jie Zheng didn't argue with her. He simply followed Grandma's instructions and repeated the ritual himself. Then he summoned a fool who looked like Li Baiwu and had the same name.

The fool clung to Jie Zheng's leg and shamelessly insisted, "Your family married me into the Jie clan with all the proper matchmakers and betrothal gifts. You can't kick me out just because I'm not what you ordered."

Jie Zheng: "..."

Later, the fool changed his mind and said, "Zhengzheng, why not just treat me as him? We look alike, anyway."

Jie Zheng discreetly looked away and said coolly, "You don't look alike at all."

At last the fool said, "Zhengzheng, do I look like him this time?"

Jie Zheng said, "Xiaobai, I've never treated you as anyone else."

A cool, beautiful bottom, barely alive yet living among the dead x a shameless-talking top, barely dead yet living among the living.
