Summary

After graduating from university at twenty-three, Ling An returns home to help at her grandmother's spirit medium matchmaking agency, where she arranges posthumous marriages for the dead. Her best friend brings her a lucrative offer: the sole heir of a wealthy family, Shang Jingyu, has died unjustly, and Madam Shang is offering two million for a girl to be his ghost bride. The deadline is six months—if Ling An fails, she must take the girl's place herself. At the ice coffin, while verifying the spirit, Ling An discovers that Shang Jingyu's ghost has never left. When yellow paper refuses to ignite three times and hair will not burn, she realizes she has caught the attention of this beautiful, vicious spirit. From then on, the red thread is torn apart, and she is forcibly bound as a living bride. Deadly traps and curses from both the yin and yang worlds close in on her, and as the two are drawn deeper into a life-and-death struggle, she must decide whether to submit or to fall and become a demon.

Editor's review

A typical urban ghost-marriage supernatural romance. It opens briskly with the spirit-medium matchmaking agency, the sky-high commission, and the soul-checking and hair-burning scenes. The eerie wealthy-family atmosphere and the intense push-and-pull between the leads are the main draws: the male lead is domineering and protective, while the female lead seems reckless but refuses to yield at key moments. The pace suits serial reading for diversion. Weaknesses are also clear: some readers report a rushed, careless ending and uneven structure in the middle, and the horror element is weaker than the romance. Suited to supernatural-romance readers who like the ghost-husband setup; readers seeking rigorous supernatural logic or who dislike formulaic domineering-CEO-style love should be cautious.

Reading tips

  1. Read the first few chapters to confirm you can accept the ghost-marriage and supernatural setting before deciding to finish it
  2. Treat the horror passages as atmosphere and focus on the relationship progression for a smoother reading experience
  3. It is fairly long, so read it in segments and note that the ending paces a bit fast
