Weird Tales [GB]

Nemesis: “Hey, want a wife?”

Lin An: “???”

His nemesis grins ominously. “Marry an ordinary, useless wife who'll hold you back and distract you. Then it'll be easy for me to kill you once and for all!”

Blurb:

When Jiang Qi is twenty-two, his parents tell him he has to go to a place called Min'an Alley to fulfill a vow. When he was three, he fell ill and no medicine could cure him. A mysterious master showed up uninvited, placed three objects in front of him, and said one of them could cure him.

Of the three objects, only one came with a price.

Jiang's parents hoped their son wouldn't choose that one, but the three-year-old picked it anyway: the jade pendant.

Jiang Qi doesn't think much of it when he hears the story. He assumes going to Min'an Alley will be like visiting a temple, just a matter of bowing a few times. Instead, he's forcibly made to marry, and from that day on, he enters a strange and fantastical world.

It's full of ghosts and monsters, and the air is thick with resentment.

Jiang Qi: Hey! I'm just an ordinary person QAQ

After sleeping for nearly a thousand years, the ghost immortal Lin An awakens when Jiang Qi chooses the jade pendant that serves as their marriage token. His power returns, and when Jiang Qi comes to Min'an Alley to fulfill his vow, Lin An completes their marriage pact with him and rebuilds his body.

But Jiang Qi runs away that very night.

Min'an Alley is full of vicious ghosts and overflowing with resentment. Lin An still needs Jiang Qi's help to rebuild his body, so he cuts his plans short and goes to save him.

After rescuing Jiang Qi and giving him a magical artifact to keep the ghosts in check, Lin An starts investigating how Jiang Qi came to possess the jade pendant and discovers that it was part of his nemesis's scheme...
