Joy at the Opening of the Coffin

(The heroine is not domineering, this is not a wish-fulfillment story, she is not invincible, and it is not horror. The leads are devoted only to each other, but there is angst, so read with caution if that bothers you.)

To find some peace, she sneaks into a cave in the countryside in the middle of the night to look for a ghost.

Everyone says the black coffin inside holds a fearsome-looking Ghost King, mysterious and dangerous, who has devoured countless people.

“Good evening…” An Xiangwan forces herself to stay calm and greets him with a trembling voice.

He watches the prey before him with keen interest, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

“You’re dressed in red from head to toe. Have you come to marry me?”

She offers herself as a sacrifice, seals a pact, and pledges their lives to each other, vowing never to part for all eternity.
