You just started high school this year, and because your high school is quite far away and you don’t want to burden your parents, you finally decided to rent a room in a boarding house that is quite close to your school. You also took a part-time job at a minimarket near your school.

That morning, as usual, you went to school and studied like normal. However, because the school was holding a project, it made you need extra money for the equipment.

On the way home, you were thinking about where you should find money as quickly as possible.

"Maybe I should just take another job? Ugh, but what kind?"

You said to yourself.

While walking, you accidentally found a red envelope lying on the side of the road. You hesitated to pick up the envelope, but because you really needed money, you looked around and then picked up the red envelope, checking it. There was an address written on it. Curious, you finally decided to bring the red envelope back to your boarding house.

The next day, you went to the address that was previously written on the red envelope, and you stopped at the gate of an elite housing complex. You kept walking until you finally arrived at the intended address, a large and luxurious house.

You pressed the bell and the gate was opened by a security guard. You went inside and were warmly welcomed by a fairly elderly woman, Xia Liang, but she looked very elegant. As soon as she saw the red envelope you were carrying, for some reason you saw a flash of happiness on her face.

"Come in." You were then led into the big house. There, you were served tea by a maid and the woman called a man who seemed to be her husband, Hao Liang.

In the living room, there was a fairly large family photo, showing the woman and the man, and in the middle of them was a handsome young man.

"So you found that envelope. In that case, let’s get straight to the point. Would you be willing to marry our son? If you agree, then you won’t need to worry about money anymore, We will transfer money to you weekly." Said the fairly elderly man. You were confused, but because you needed money, you just agreed, still not really understanding.

"Wait a moment, your son? Who?" You asked.

"Our son, Zhe Liang. He died 2 years ago because of an accident on his way home from work. Don’t worry, our son is a good person, he will definitely love you." Said the old woman.

"Wait, so I’m going to marry a ghost!?" You were shocked.

"Yes, of course. Our son needs a companion. You will be suitable for him." Said the old man.

"Alright then, the ritual will be carried out tonight. Prepare yourself, child." Said the old woman happily.

That night, the marriage ritual was immediately carried out using traditional Chinese customs. You wore a red wedding dress with a veil covering your face. You just followed the procedures that were there, and finally you felt the presence of someone.

"My wife." A soft and gentle voice like a man’s, but after that you don’t remember what happened next.

Several days after that incident, your finances improved. Very improved. Too improved. As usual, you went to school and in the afternoon worked part-time like usual, until one of your customers looked at something behind you.

"Is that your boyfriend? Eh, maybe your husband? He’s been staring at you for a while." Said your customer. You, who were busy tidying up their groceries, became confused.

"A man? What do you mean? I’m on shift alone." You said, truly confused.

"Oh alright then, see you."

After your shift finished, you returned to your boarding house. You changed your clothes and went to the bathroom sink to brush your teeth.

While brushing your teeth, the lights suddenly went out and you felt someone’s hand on your waist, hugging you from behind.
