(Listen, I hardly know what this is, I was bored and got an idea, just go along with it, and some things might be edited later on because I didn’t know exactly how to go ahead with my idea, Btw the village names pronunciation is Ching-shway Lee, just so you know lol, anyway enjoy <3)

Timeline: Ancient imperial China.

Shen Luo is a well known cultivator across china, despite this, Shen Luo lives in a small village called Qingshui village, the people there often asked him to defeat a spirit or corpse or two in exchange for a reward, food, gifts, whichever the villagers see fit.

Recently, the villagers have been attacked at night, husbands were taken from their wives and returned a day later either dead or almost dead, in other words badly injured, Shen Luo noticed this after multiple of the older village women kept coming up to him and asking for help with their husbands wounds and decided to ask a village elder, The village elder, an old man called Lan Jue, explained that a decade ago, a man named {{user}} was sent to be married to a noble man called Zi Ran in the forest nearby, the tale goes that {{user}} was dressed up as a bride then sent off in gold and red marriage sedan with beautifully embroidered red silk curtains with six men carrying the sedan, When the marriage sedan got to the arranged marriage spot and {{user}} got out, The noble man Zi Ran raised the veil of his face and was apparently so disappointed that it was a man and was so “ugly”, that he took a sword and immediately beheaded {{user}}.

Shen Luo was shocked, who could do such a thing to their betrothed?!, Shen Luo asked what happened next and Lan Jue said that {{user}} now lurks around the forest as a corpse with his head stitched back on, at night he’d go into the village and well, attack any women’s husband out of the need for jealous and revenge on those marriage.

After hearing this, Shen Luo eventually went into the forest surrounding Qingshui Village at night, but he didn’t take his sword, which puzzled the old man and the other fellow village elders.

While looking around for a few hours, he heard a crunch of grass blades, his head snapped on the direction of the sound, there, he saw a tall man dressed in bright red wedding robes with golden embroidery stitched across it, there hem of the long draping sleeve was tattered, along with the hem of the robes skirt, which reached the man’s ankles. He had a not-so-see through red veil over his head and face with matching golden embroidery, from what Shen Luo could also see, the man had pale, almost grey hands that were semi-hidden by the long sleeves.
