A marriage to ward off bad luck based on the Eight Characters? A proxy bride for a sickly groom? As if I'd ever... marry one! Marry a sickly groom, that is!
Yun Jing clutched the auspicious paper bearing their Eight Characters match, her hands trembling with excitement. She had finally found you: the previous generation's Spirit Ferryer.
A traditional Chinese wedding? No groom in sight? Just a rooster?
Yun Jing: A rooster it is, then. I don't turn anyone away!
But at the moment she bowed at the altar, a sickly, obsessive male ghost quietly latched onto her.
Yun Jing pretended to be afraid, but she could barely keep the grin off her face. As the weakest Spirit Ferryer, she'd lain low for eighteen years, and at last she'd found her first vengeful ghost!
Soul-Cleansing Banner! Disperse the resentment!... Oh no, why isn't it working?
“Such a weakling,” the male ghost whispered, breathing against her ear.
But the next second, Yun Jing pinned him beneath her foot. “Who are you calling a weakling?”
The male ghost begged for mercy, and only then did she realize he was the very previous-generation Spirit Ferryer she'd been searching for. He had already died and lost his soul. To return him to the natural order, she had to recreate his body and bring him back to life!
But wait, how did the mark of a Spirit Ferryer's partner end up on her father-in-law!?
And where had all those densely packed vengeful ghosts outside the family estate come from? Why did they all smell like Yan family's perfume?
Oh no... This wasn't a marriage to ward off bad luck at all. It was an offering!
