Chapter 2423: A Nightmarish Life Began

Back then, Liu Xiaoya’s parents had sold her to the Li family without asking for her consent.

She had no room to object. Her parents said they had raised her until she was of age and she needed to repay the family now.

Deep down, Liu Xiaoya’s parents knew that their decision might not lead to a good outcome.

If their daughter was really being married off to become a young madam, then her dowry and all the other ceremonies wouldn’t be lacking, but they were buying her with silver.

However, her family was so desperate that they had no other choice.

Flustered and helpless, Liu Xiaoya was taken to the Li family and a nightmarish life began.

Although she wasn’t dead, she had a ghost for a husband.

Liu Xiaoya was extremely scared and tried to run away multiple times, but she kept getting caught by the Li family.

As the number of times Liu Xiaoya ran away increased, the Li family’s patience waned and they locked Liu Xiaoya in the room she shared with the ghost.

From then on, Liu Xiaoya spent every waking moment trapped with her ghost husband.

The ghost’s face was pale and his eyes were dark. He still wore the clothes he was buried in, and when he walked it looked like he was floating.

Furthermore, Liu Xiaoya was the only one who could see him.

When her stomach swelled, no one knew why.

The Li family concluded that Liu Xiaoya committed adultery and drowned her in the pond. They held her down until she drowned…

And just like that, Liu Xiaoya died.

After Ning Shu finished accepting the plot, it took her a while to get over the shock. The plot caught Ning Shu completely off guard. In the end, the family of three cheerfully became ghosts?

Liu Xiaoya’s wish was to break free from Li Sanlang. She was genuinely terrified of him and wanted to leave the Li family.

Ning Shu’s breath hitched and she felt pain in her chest. She took a breath and continued cultivating.

Since the beginning, Liu Xiaoya had no chance to resist. She was sold by her parents like she was merchandise. When she arrived at the Li family’s home, she was terrified every day by her ghost husband until she was drowned as punishment.

Liu Xiaoya was unable to resist and unable to break free.

As far as her parents were concerned, exchanging a daughter for a huge sum of money was a net profit.

As for the Li family, they had bought Liu Xiaoya and so they were entitled to do whatever they wanted to her.

No one cared about what Liu Xiaoya felt. They didn’t care what she thought, they didn’t consider it worthy of their attention.

Liu Xiaoya’s fate epitomized the lives of countless feudal women.

She was forced to go with the flow, and had no way to take control of her own destiny.

Ning Shu closed her eyes and refocused on cultivating. At any rate, she wouldn’t die.

The plan was to wait for Li Sanlang, the ghostly husband, to appear in his mother’s dream and make his request.

The coffin was airtight. Spiritual energy from outside couldn’t flow properly and only a little bit reached her. Ning Shu had to rely on that meager amount of spiritual energy to maintain her body’s basic needs.

She didn’t know how Liu Xiaoya had managed to stay in the coffin, waiting to die alone in the dark while the people outside read her last rites.

The feeling was truly indescribable.

Ning Shu sank into a deep meditative state to reduce the energy that the body required.

She didn’t know how long she had been in the coffin when she heard the sound of its lid being pried off mixed with the voice of a woman.

“Hurry up and get her out of there quickly. Sanlang said to let her continue living as his wife.”

“It’s been half a day. She’s probably already dead,” a male voice replied.

“Let’s open it anyway and take a look. If she really is dead, we can bury her together with Sanlang.”

Light filtered past her eyelids as Ning Shu was hauled out of the coffin. She felt incredibly stiff.

“She’s dead?” Lady Wang stared at Ning Shu. “If she’s dead, put her back in the coffin.”

Ning Shu: …
