With nothing but bare walls to her name, Lu Xiaoguo marries into the Prince's residence for two dou of rice, supposedly to bring good luck to her new family.
Seeing her frail, handsome husband, she can't help feeling a surge of desire.
She plants her hands on her hips and snaps, “You wicked ghost, get off him! Stop pinning down my husband. Can't you see he's about to be crushed to death? Are you blind?”
The ghost is bewildered. I can see perfectly well, but killing him is exactly what I'm trying to do...
Legend has it that the heir to the Prince of Ning's household is plagued by a terrible illness and won't live to see his twentieth birthday. Desperate to save their beloved son, the prince and princess offer a huge reward to any unmarried woman willing to marry into their family and bring him good luck.
Three brides in a row failed to survive until dawn, so they doubled the reward.
Where there is a great reward, there will always be a brave woman!
Lu Xiaoguo tightens her belt, grabs a knife, and climbs into the bridal sedan chair.
