[A sweet little romance! Add it to your collection!]
Red lanterns hang high, while white paper funeral banners flutter gently.
Song Lan's face is streaked with tears as her aunt forces her into the bridal sedan. The moment the curtain falls, the suona blares through the sky.
A middle-aged couple in mourning clothes sit solemnly in the hall.
"Bow to each other!"
The guests wear white sashes around their waists and offer the newlyweds pale smiles of congratulations.
The elders stiffly wish their son and daughter-in-law a long and happy life together.
The paper figure at the doorway grins, cackling.
A young scholar who placed third in the imperial examinations has died in Yongchuan Town. His coffin has been laid out for seven days, the town is shrouded in gloom, and people have been dying in strange succession. Everyone is terrified and on edge.
A Taoist descends the mountain to offer guidance: the vengeful ghost is consumed by resentment. To lift the curse, a woman born in the yin year, yin month, yin day, and yin hour must be married to the dead in a ghost marriage.
Song Lan thinks marrying into the Qin family is a blessing earned over several lifetimes.
Her in-laws may be cold, but they provide her with fine clothes and good food. They don't pressure her to have children or arrange a concubine for her husband.
On her wedding night, she lifts her veil and finds her husband breathtakingly beautiful. His eyes are gentle as he smiles at her, his voice low and alluring. "My wife, shall we retire for the night?"
But the grip on her hand leaves no room for refusal.
In her dazed state, Song Lan is roused and bites his neck. He gives a muffled groan, then leans close to her ear and chuckles softly, his tone teasing. "My wife, you're hurting me."
Newlyweds, blissfully in love.
Yet in her sleep, Song Lan always feels something cold wrapped tightly around her.
The ghost has grown powerful, and a Taoist descends the mountain to exorcise it.
They battle with ghostly energy swirling around them, blotting out the sky, the chill piercing to the bone.
Only then does Song Lan learn that her husband is an evil ghost. As the man advances on her step by step, she stumbles backward.
Qin Kui's long hair hangs in a disheveled mess. A red mole sits between his brows, and his skin is deathly pale. He casually smears blood across his lips and licks it with the tip of his tongue, curling his lips in amusement. "Oh, you've found out."
Behind him lies a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. His smile sends a shiver down her spine.
Qin Kui closes in on Song Lan with wicked delight, using a thick, oppressive mass of ghostly energy to ensnare her. But then he sees her cradle a belly as round as a gong, bare sharp fangs, and swallow repeatedly, staring at him with ravenous longing. "Husband, can I eat you?"
She gives him a soft, sweet smile and thinks innocently: Since male mantises willingly let female mantises eat them, surely my husband would be just as happy to be devoured by me and have his yang energy replenished. ^_^
