Qi Ying transmigrated at the exact moment his parents drugged him and dressed him in a wedding gown.
Ke Qiong, the magistrate's tyrannical son, lorded it over the local villagers. Recently, he had taken a fancy to Qi Ying's younger sister, Qi Ying. Once he wanted her, he was determined to have her.
He threatened that if they didn't send their daughter to the Ke household, Qi Da and his wife would die a horrible death.
Unable to bear the humiliation, Ying'er hanged herself.
In their panic, Qi Da and his wife decided to marry their son in her place.
Qi Ying, who had been working as an apprentice in the county seat, was tricked into returning home. After one cup of cold tea, he turned around to see Ying'er's lifeless body and his parents' despairing faces.
When he opened his eyes again, a wedding sedan was on its way, accompanied by gongs and drums, while two old people walked off into the distance with their bundles on their backs.
Qi Ying sat helplessly at the head of the bright red bed, clutching a cold dagger that had appeared out of nowhere.
The demon System's incessant whispers urged him to kill.
[Kill Ke Qiong and avenge Ying'er.]
[Kill Ke Qiong and avenge Ying'er.]
[Kill Ke Qiong and avenge Ying'er.]
Bang!
Ke Qiong, dead drunk, staggered into the room. Qi Ying gripped the dagger, drenched in sweat, when he suddenly heard a noise beneath the bed.
His heart pounding, he slowly lowered the bronze mirror in his hand. A face had indeed appeared in it.
It was none other than Ke Hui, the famous village idiot from the Ke family!
Ke Qiong died suddenly on his wedding night, and his bride disappeared along with his foolish half-brother. The magistrate, Ke Shijie, searched everywhere for them in vain. In a rage, he set off for the provincial capital to report the matter to a distant relative who was a prefect. Before he arrived, he died horribly by the roadside.
That same night, in the provincial capital...
Qi Ying was too afraid to sleep. He hugged himself and shivered.
What was going on?!
Why were there evil spirits everywhere in this world?!
What a terrible transmigration System. Didn't it know that his greatest fear in this life was murderers, and that ghosts came second?
Meanwhile, Ke Hui lay on his back beside Qi Ying, snoring away in peaceful sleep.
Qi Ying: ...I'm so jealous of idiots. They don't even get scared of ghosts.
