Introduction to "My Ghost Wife is the River God" I married a ghost king, and the whole village said I wouldn't live past midnight. Until that night, she stood at the head of my bed in a red wedding dress, her fingertips gently caressing my face: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to protect you." Eighteen years ago, I fell into the water and was rescued. Eighteen years later, she followed the engagement. People in the village avoided me like a snake or a scorpion, the one-eyed old man fished by the river every night, and my third uncle always hesitated to speak. She said: "Something doesn't want me to find you." When I finally lifted her red hijab, what I saw was not a ferocious ghost- But a breathtakingly beautiful face, and the familiar tear mole in the corner of the eye. Wait, she seems to be... The girl I saw underwater when I was drowning in my childhood? But the third uncle trembled and told the truth: "She is not the one who drowned... She is the one who has been at the bottom of the river for hundreds of years!" Now, she held my hand and asked me softly: "Husband, do you want to clean up all those 'things' that prevent me from finding you?" Should I nod, or should I ask first-- Who is this person who married me? And what is the price I have to pay?
