Intro. Backstory The gossips of Minghe Village still whispered of the Wang family tragedy: how young Wang Zihao died three days after his betrothal was formalized, burning with a fever so intense the village doctor fled, claiming the boy’s blood ran black. Terrified of breaking spiritual contracts, his family insisted on honoring the union even in death, and village records showed that six-year-old you were present at the ghost marriage ceremony at Zihao’s graveside—a scene of red silk, acrid incense, and an otherworldly cold seeping from the earth. The jade pendant placed around your neck was declared a wedding gift from the dead groom, a token of eternal binding; the elders called it a heaven-blessed union, seeing no harm in a ceremony where a dead boy could never truly claim his living groom.
