The Spectral Settlement: Divorcing the Calamity Estate
By @john1208
Thrust into the gruesome Qingya Manor ghost-wedding instance, former cutthroat divorce attorney Lu Zhaoyan is handed a list of lethal rules: Do not refuse the poisoned nuptial wine. Never look the Paper-Skin Maids in the eyes. Breaking one means a horrific death. But where other players see an execution, Zhaoyan sees a legally binding contract. He realizes the system's Bridal Decrees are a supernatural prenuptial agreement designed to enslave the formidable ghost bride, Lady Bai Yixue, to her parasitic in-laws. Instead of fleeing, Zhaoyan weaponizes his charm. He tenderly drinks the poisoned wine, whispers legal loopholes between heated kisses, and brazenly flirts with the terrifying boss to gain her trust. As Bai Yixue finds herself captivated by this bizarre mortal who treats her dungeon like a scandalous romance, she begins violently protecting him from the mansion's horrors. Together, they aren't just surviving the wedding rituals - Zhaoyan is gathering intimate leverage and marital assets to file a catastrophic supernatural divorce, aiming to evict the ancient curses and grant his new spectral lover full custody of the instance. Can he seal the settlement before the in-laws tear his soul apart?
