Hearing the name Third Granduncle, my whole body started to feel uncomfortable, and in my mind, I automatically saw that stooped back, leaning on a walking stick, that shrivelled and wrinkled little old man.

I instinctively resisted this person, but I didn't disturb my mother's statement. I knew that the key to everything was the day I was born.

"After Third Granduncle comes, let the midwife carry you for him to see. The moment he saw you, Third Granduncle's expression changed, and he repeatedly shook his head, saying that the heavens are forgetting my Longevity Village! "Why would such a bane be in the village?"

"I was very tired when I gave birth to you. Your darling's daughter was just born and someone said she was a bane, so I was naturally unhappy. Your father was also an impulsive person at that time, and he almost fought with Third Granduncle. "

"However, the Third Granduncle does what he says, and he has great prestige. As long as he speaks, the villagers will listen to him as if he were an imperial edict. That's why the Third Granduncle said that you are the bane of our people, and you are the bane of our people. "

"Who dares to talk about people like that!" What right did he have to call me a bane?! I think that's why he looks like a Bane! " I really couldn't bear to listen any longer and retorted.

"It's not just that. Third Granduncle said that you are a cursed person, that you will bring disaster to Longevity Village and the people around you sooner or later! But if he is still alive, he might be able to restrict your curse, but if he dies one day, he will have to bring you away as well, and he must be buried alive as his bride or else the entire whole village will suffer along with you. " As she spoke, her mother's eyes became resentful.

I was dumbfounded listening to her words. So she wanted to bury me alive as the ghost bride of the Third Granduncle, something that had been set down since the day I was born.

"How could I be willing to listen to these words? So after making up the plan with your father, I brought you along and left the Longevity Village. Initially, the village did not advocate for villagers to live outside the village, but after considering the fact that you are a cursed bane, the whole village was eager for us to leave as soon as possible, so the further we go, the better it is. " Mother let out a long sigh, "I thought that after leaving Longevity Village for twenty years, everything would be normal, so no one would bring it up again. But who would have thought that on the day Third Granduncle passed away, the Village Chief called your father and me and insisted that you go back. "

"Your father and I refused on the spot, but they said if you didn't go back, you'd dig up our ancestral grave! We will never be able to live in peace for generations! " At this point, Mom was so excited that her entire body was trembling. "In Longevity Village, the ancestral tombs are supreme existences, every family must protect their ancestral tombs well, so by saying this, they are forcing us to send you to your death."

"But there's no other way … Delightful... Mommy and daddy are sorry … " "Although I don't know how you managed to escape, but I'm really glad that my daughter is still alive!"

"Mom. It's all over now, so don't think too much. " I leaned over and took my mother's hand and said to them, "I know now why I'm the bride of that rotten old man, and why he keeps saying I'm going to kill the whole village. But I don't believe that. I feel the need to live well, to be happy. So, Mom, Dad, don't think too much either. "

"Le Le, you don't know, things are not as simple as you think." My mother took my hand and patted it gently. "Let me tell you something. You must not be afraid."

"What is it?" Looking at my mother's frightened eyes, I couldn't help but become nervous.

"Ever since you escaped from Longevity Village, the ghost of Third Granduncle followed you. Every night, you will come to find your father and me, and ask us to hand you over to you before sending you back to the Longevity Village. " When Mom said this, she was constantly paying attention to the changes in my expression. She was afraid that I would be frightened. "Don't worry. This time, Mom and Dad will protect you no matter what."

"Mom, you said that Third Granduncle came to our house?" I asked in surprise. "Every night?"

"Yes." Mom nodded. "Don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid." "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"It's fine, it's fine. Your dad and I have both survived this. What I'm worried about the most right now is you." Mom said.

"I'm fine. Since I can escape from Longevity Village, I won't let him capture me and bring me back. " I said to my mother with certainty.

"Oh right, Le Le, mom still has something to tell you." His mother suddenly straightened her body as if she was very cautious when she said this, "Your father and I will give you the name 'birthdate'. The great deity said that as soon as possible, as long as you marry a man that matches the word 'you', this disaster will be resolved."

"Marry?" I shouted out in shock, but after thinking about it carefully, what this great deity said was not wrong. Didn't she choose to marry Wen Chu Yang to get rid of the Third Granduncle?

"Le Le, don't get so excited. Mom knows this is a bit rushed, but for your safety, it is necessary." As her mother said this, she picked up a small notebook from the tea table and opened it. The book was filled with information on all kinds of men. It was very comprehensive.

"These are the candidates recently selected by Mom and Dad. From tomorrow onwards, you can meet them one by one if you have nothing better to do. Who knows, you might fall for any of them!" Mom smiled and gave me the notebook, but I pushed it back to Mom like a hot potato. "Mom, I don't need this!"

"Alright then, Mom will arrange it for you when the time comes." Mom completely misunderstood me and happily put away her notebook. "I'll stay at home today."

"Yes." I looked at the time and saw that it was a good time for my afternoon nap. Thinking that it might be another sleepless night tonight, I hurried back to my room, threw myself on the bed, found a comfortable position and planned to have a good night's sleep.

"Aiyo, I'm in a good mood."

The moment I closed my eyes, I heard Wen Chu Yang's mocking and ridiculing voice, "Did you hear that you can meet a lot of men?

"Aiyo, why does this sound so sour?" I rolled over and laughed back at him. "Did you hear that I was going to meet a lot of men and that some of them were jealous?"

"He's more than just jealous. He's simply filled with killing intent." Wen Chu Yang chuckled softly, "I've been thinking from the beginning, how about you see me and I'll eat one?"

"Great!" Then I want to see that Third Granduncle tonight, eat him for me. " I said smilingly as I lay on my back, using my fingers to lightly stroke the blood colored ear nail on my right ear.

"That old man, he stinks and is hard to eat. I am afraid of indigestion." Wen Chu Yang refuted my thoughts with his disdainful voice, "But it's fine to kick him out. That old man is even more annoying than Qi Zi Yi. He would lose ten years of life just by looking at him. "

"Where did you learn that from!?" You've been dead for more than a thousand years. Where are you going to live for ten more years? " I said, amused.

But then she thought about what her mother had said just now. She said that since I was born, the Third Granduncle had believed that I was a cursed bane and that I would bring disaster to the whole village. Is that true? Am I really a Bane?

"Wen Chu Yang, do you think that what he said was true?" After putting away my smile, my mood immediately darkened. As expected, knowing the truth is much more cruel than being confused.

"Is it true or false? Does it matter? The important thing is that you should just live happily, it doesn't matter to you what happens to others! " Wen Chu Yang said in a disdainful tone, "Alright, don't you want to sleep? Have a good sleep, maybe we still have a lot of things to do tonight."

"Yes." I mumbled, rolled over, and fell asleep.

In my dream, I vaguely went to a place like a paradise, in a white gauze curtain floating, sitting on the ground a young beautiful girl.

The young girl's peach colored dress was one with the surrounding scenery. Her fingers were agile as she lightly strummed her zither, playing a song that would make people feel relaxed and happy.

Beside the girl stood a beautiful man in white clothes. His hands were behind his back, holding a folding fan, and his black hair was like a waterfall. His long and narrow and charming eyes were staring lovingly at the girl.

Is this Wen Chu Yang?

I couldn't help but ask myself in my heart. Although I couldn't see the appearances of the two people clearly no matter how hard I tried, I could tell that the man in white was Wen Chu Yang from his appearance and clothing, and even those familiar eyes.

Was she the woman Wen Chu Yang loved?

Could this woman be the mastermind behind all this?

Why did I dream about all these, was it because of Wen Chu Yang?

Recently, we have been continuously collecting crystals that could replace Wen Chu Yang's heart. Could it be because of the crystals, allowing Wen Chu Yang to recover a little of his memories?

This dream had been dreaming for a very long time, but it was not comfortable. Because I had always been watching the interaction between Wen Chu Yang and the female lead from the perspective of an observer. Even though the two of them had been maintaining this position the entire time, the occasional exchange of gazes made my chest feel heavy and I felt an unspeakable displeasure.

Thus, I had the impulse to destroy their previous ambiguous atmosphere, but I was unable to move my body. The more immobile I was, the more I struggled.

Struggling, I snapped open my eyes and found myself lying on my back, facing the ceiling.

"My wife, did you dream of something unpleasant? Look at your constipated face. " Suddenly, Wen Chu Yang's voice came from my side, I turned my head and realised that he was lying beside me, supporting his head with one hand, while looking at me with a smile with squinted eyes.

When I thought of the way he had fallen in love with other women in the dream, I was so angry that I turned my head away and ignored him completely. "It's because I saw you that I look like I'm constipated," I muttered.

"My wife, what's wrong with you now?" You don't like my face anymore? Then do you want me to change into that rotten old man's appearance for you? " Wen Chu Yang pointed his finger at my cheek, "I'll count to three. If you ignore me again, I'll change for you!"
