After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld
Jiang Wei Jie
Lu Yingjiu has had an unusual constitution since childhood, plagued by misfortune. On an old master’s advice, he wedded a ghost. The exact words were: "I’ll find you a ravishing female ghost." Turns out the old master was a fraud—the marriage was to a nameless wandering spirit. After the ceremony, a chilling wind swept through. The old master knelt, trembling, too scared to say another word. But from then on, Lu Yingjiu’s misfortune vanished, and he gradually forgot about the marriage. Years later, after leaving the Exorcist Alliance to start anew, eerie incidents began again. Broken household items were replaced with brand-new ones by the next morning. Troublesome clients at his shop suffered recurring nightmares. People who schemed against him kowtowed at his doorstep, begging, "Spare me, I’ll never dare again!" Lu Yingjiu: "...?" Later, the porch light kept flickering—clearly a ghost’s doing. The bulb reeked of dark energy, so Lu Yingjiu kept breaking it, but the ghost evaded him. One night, he lay in wait, forcing the ghost to reveal itself— A handsome man stood there, holding a cursed light bulb. Their eyes met. The man said, "I was trying to fix it, but someone kept breaking it. People these days have no manners." Lu Yingjiu: "..." "Why help me?" Lu Yingjiu asked. Shyly, the man replied, "Aren’t we... married?" Lu Yingjiu: ??? Where’s the ravishing female ghost?!
