The underworld marriage

On this night, lightning flashed and thunder roared, while fierce winds howled. Lightning bolts struck ruthlessly at the peak of the Cloud City's Backtop Cliff behind the Cloud City, causing a resounding boom that seemed capable of shattering the entire cliff.

Cloud City, under the Mu Family, was the wealthiest place in the Moonlit Kingdom. Their businesses spanned across the four nations, and the entire Cloud City belonged to the Mu Family, with their estate covering thousands of acres.

The Lady of Cloud City, Jun Zixi, was the eldest princess of the Moonlit Kingdom. After marrying into the Yun family, she bore three sons and one daughter.

In what was once an enviable Cloud City, a sense of sadness pervaded every corner these past few days.

And today marked the most shocking day in the entire Moonlit Kingdom.

Su Zimo, the eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor of the Moonlit Kingdom, was publicly rejected by the Third Prince, Jun Tianlin, who was due to marry her in a day. He declared that he would marry her sister, Su Ziyun, instead. The news of Su Zimo's ordeal spread throughout the city.

Su Zimo was originally a waste who couldn't cultivate profound energy. In the Su family, she was constantly humiliated. Coupled with the incident of the Third Prince breaking off the engagement, Su Zimo couldn't bear the humiliation. In a fit of rage, she crashed into the Su family's main gate. Although she didn't die, she was left with only a breath of life.

Without any concern or inquiry from the Su family, Su Zimo was suddenly taken away by people from the Cloud City.

A curse that circulated within the Mu Family had come true. Mu Yunxuan, the eldest son of the Mu Family and the future Lord of Cloud City, had been unable to wake up three days ago. After being diagnosed by physicians, he was pronounced dead, and today was the day of his burial.

In order to break the curse, the Mu Family followed the method of the witch priest clan and chose the ancient ritual of "Ghost Marriage."

And the person chosen for this ghost marriage was Su Zimo. Both their birthdates were in perfect accordance with the requirements of the witch priest clan to break the curse.

News of this ghost marriage quickly spread throughout the Moonlit Kingdom.

Inside the Lingxiao Hall, the once magnificent and resplendent hall was now draped in white cloth. In the night of thunder and lightning, an eerie atmosphere permeated the air.

Jun Zixi wore a white gown, her stunning beauty marred by tear stains on her face.

Beside her sat Mu Yufeng, dressed in a black robe. His eyes were deep and filled with profound sadness. With a high nose bridge and sensual lips, he possessed extraordinary looks.

"Boom!"

The thunder resounded, and Jun Zixi flinched in fear, seeking refuge in Mu Yufeng's embrace.

In the center of the hall stood a middle-aged man with gray hair, holding a golden staff. His eyes were clouded, and he nervously gazed at the night sky filled with lightning and thunder.

"Master Zixu, the thunder tonight is particularly shocking and unusual. Since you have been closely observing the night sky, can you inform me whether the curse can be broken, as you have said?" asked Mu Yufeng, his voice filled with anxiety and seriousness.

"Your Majesty, I have been carefully observing as well. Tonight's night is extraordinarily different. Your Majesty, please be patient for a moment. The birthdates of Miss Su and Young Master Su are highly compatible. If my observations are correct, this time the curse of the Mu Family will undoubtedly be broken."

"In that case, I implore Master Zixu to ensure the eradication of this vile curse and return my son," Jun Zixi said, her voice choked with tears. She harbored deep hatred for the curse that claimed the lives of all Mu Family eldest sons who couldn't live past twenty, a curse that had persisted for centuries.

"Please rest assured, Madam. Our witch priest clan has been blessed by the Mu Family for generations. This ghost marriage, with its alignment of celestial and earthly conditions, takes place on a day of supreme yin and yang. Combined with Miss Su's special destiny, it will surely break the curse of the Mu Family."
