Ghost Flowers for the Bride, the Dragon King Takes a Wife

[Sweet HE] [Dongyue the Great × Lord of the Yellow Springs]

I was born on the day of the Dragon-Sealing Coffin, an event that comes once every hundred years. To extend my older brother's life, my biological mother forcibly took seventy years of my lifespan. I survived the ordeal and was taken in by my adoptive father, and we depended on each other. But when I was fifteen, beneath a blood moon, a ghost flower stole my soul, and I died in the wilderness.

To bring me back to life, my father gathered everyone in the village and held a silent wedding for me. From then on, I had an invisible Dragon King husband.

Later, my best friend's company developed a large-scale murder mystery game, and I was chosen to play the bride. While following the story, I accidentally ran into something sinister and was pinned against a wall by a mysterious male demon, who took every advantage of me. After that, strange things kept happening around me. On the night of the blood moon, the Ghost King came to wed me; foxes delivered betrothal gifts, and a yellow immortal acted as matchmaker.

My friend, a self-proclaimed master of the occult, said I was being haunted by the Ghost King. Out of kindness, he took me to seek help from the powerful celestial immortal who protected him. I knelt before the immortal's statue and tearfully begged him to spare my life. The compassionate immortal appeared and agreed to save me once, but after I brought him home, he got handsy with me every night.

Finally, one day, with him pinning me to the bed again, I protested through my tears, “Big shot, I'm here to perform, not to sell my body!”

He was silent for a long while. Then he removed the bronze dragon-head mask from his face, revealing an impossibly handsome face. With a cool, elegant air, he said, “Do you think I look like the husband you've been married to for years?”

Me: “???”
