Swamp Ghost Marriage

A bizarre disappearance sixteen years ago. A midnight summons in an ancient town sixteen years later. As a forbidden bloodline once again sets foot on a road of no return, an evil spirit that has slept for a century has prepared a blood-red wedding dress for its "groom."

My name is Nan Feng, the last heir to a family of tomb raiders. Searching for my missing father, I followed the clues to Luoyun Ancient Town, beside the "Swamp of Death," and checked into the fabled Yelaike Inn.

Every night, ghostly cries echo through the town, and faces rise from the depths of an old well. Why does a lone lamp burn in the abandoned attic at midnight? Why does the mysterious tenant next door sneak around in the dead of night, carrying a heavy sack? Ke Xiaoyue, the beautiful young woman who works at the inn, saw her own deathly pale face beside the well... And in a vision, a woman who looked just like her, but was hideous and terrifying, tore my heart right out of my chest.

Now, on the full moon of the Year of the Fire Horse, I follow the clues my father left behind and step into a terrifying game of chess spanning time and space, where human lives are the pieces. Ghostly shadows at the inn, a corpse floating in the well, spirit tablets in the attic, a mad beggar in a fog-shrouded village... Every step is a trap she has carefully laid. Can I make it out alive?
