Bury the Wrong Person, Marry the Wrong Wife, and Hear Ghosts Knocking at Midnight

At my engagement banquet, my uncle made an outrageous demand: he wanted the bride’s family to prepare a betrothal gift for me.

To get married, I secretly took off the longevity lock I’d worn since childhood and handed it to my girlfriend. Then strange things began happening one after another.

It turned out the lock I’d worn since childhood was the token of a ghost bride…

Good grief. Other people’s child brides can warm their beds and cook for them, but mine only wants to drain me dry as soon as possible.

To stay alive, I had no choice but to inherit my uncle’s trade, carry my ghost bride on my back, and set out on the path of dealing with the dead.

Corpses hidden beneath stoves, vengeful ghosts on the hunt, Miaojiang curses and gu, Jingchu witchcraft, Nanyang black magic, Daoist arts… One bizarre, sinister case after another will lead me to uncover the family secret no one has ever known.

“Husband, before you go ghost-hunting, you have to satisfy me first…”
