Married to a Ghost in Broad Daylight

The main story is complete!

Blurb:

Not one of the girls chosen for a ghost marriage ever survives.

When Xu Zhiying was sold off, she already knew that.

The coffin was nailed shut, her hands and feet were bound, and her mouth was tightly gagged.

Night fell, and the dead husband beside her suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze full of sinister killing intent.

"Hehehe."

"Are you the new toy my parents sent me?"

His eerie words seemed to scratch at her skull. Xu Zhiying refused to close her eyes. Even if she died, she wanted to know how it happened.

A cold body climbed onto her, and a ghostly face appeared before her eyes.

Oh, he's quite handsome. She raised an eyebrow.

The ghost froze, then blushed in an instant. He threw open the coffin lid and ran away.

From then on, Xu Zhiying's life changed.

At night, ghostly flames lit up her courtyard as bright as day. By day, the most novel rouge and jewelry would appear outside her door, and the ghost-world paper money in her purse kept multiplying.

Those who had bullied her got what they deserved, too.

Gradually, Xu Zhiying developed new worries:

How could she get rid of a ghost's scars?

How could she keep a ghost warm?

How could she have a harmonious married life with a ghost?

Xu Ruyue had followed the rules for seventeen years. Then she traveled away from home and fell in love.

The man in the mountain courtyard was so beautiful, with long legs and a slim waist. She truly liked him.

She flirted with him and coaxed him until he gave her his heart.

When their love was at its most passionate, she had held his waist and promised that she would spend her life with him, and him alone.

Then a letter arrived from the capital: Xu Ruyue's wedding date was near. She decisively packed her things and headed for a life of luxury.

Before leaving, she left him enough silver to live without a worry for the rest of his life.

After she married, her husband was considerate and gentle. As they lived in blissful intimacy, an honored guest came to their home.

Dressed in fine clothes, Xu Ruyue went to greet the guest with poise and dignity. But when she saw the face of the man seated above, she was struck with shock.

Her husband smiled. "Ruyue, why are you making that face when you see His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Xu Ruyue's legs went weak. The memory of those reckless nights flashed through her mind, and her voice trembled. "Have His Highness and I... met before?"

The Crown Prince gave her a knowing smile. "Never."

Pei Yuan hated Xu Ruyue to the core.

She had deceived him, toyed with him, and abandoned him.

He would do the same to her.

He would expose her hypocrisy, reveal her false feelings, and make her die a miserable death in disgrace.

But in the shadows where the crowd roared, in the torture chamber he'd gone to such lengths to prepare for her,

when he should have exposed her illicit affair with him in front of everyone,

Pei Yuan only pinned her down and demanded:

"Mingming, you wanted to climb higher. Why didn't you choose me?"
