My 108th Mysterious Husband

The Story

Yin Gu sustains a livelihood by bearing heirs for the dead, having completed one hundred and seven such contracts for three hundred taels of silver each. Her professional code demands she first worship heaven and earth before consummating the union with the spirit. The one hundred and eighth assignment arrives with an unexpected twist. This particular husband defies the usual constraints of the afterlife. It appears that death itself cannot bind him, marking a significant departure from the established rules that have governed her previous engagements.
