After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Lu Yingjiu had a special constitution since he was young– he was plagued with misfortune. Under the guidance of an old master, he married a ghost.

His original words were: “Let me find you a gorgeous female ghost.”

However, he didn’t expect that the old master was a liar and got him married to a wandering ghost whom he didn’t know anything about.

When the ceremony was over, the wind blew. The old master knelt down with a puff, shivering with fear and refusing to say more.

But since then, Lu Yingjiu had never met with bad luck and gradually forgot about the marriage.

Until he left the Alliance of Exorcists and started from scratch, strange things began to happen around him.

For example, if something was broken at home, he would find a brand new one at the door the next day.

For example, guests who came to his store to make trouble always had nightmares.

For example, when he opened the door early in the morning, the person who framed him kowtowed to him and shouted, “Leave me alone, I will never dare do it again!”

Lu Yingjiu: “……?”

Later, a light bulb outside the door would often shatter. It was definitely done by a ghost

The light bulb had Yin energy, which couldn’t be eliminated entirely. Lu Yingjiu would come here every day to exorcise it, but he couldn’t catch the ghost.

He then chose to stay a night and wait, and forced the ghost to show its image——

Then appeared a handsome man holding a light bulb from the underworld.

They looked at each other.

The man opened his mouth and said, “I want to help you repair the light bulb. Every time you repair it, it breaks again. The quality must be really poor.”

Lu Yingjiu: “…”

Lu Yingjiu then said, “Why do you want to repair it for me?”

The man said shyly, “Aren’t we husband and wife?”

Lu Yingjiu:???

Where was the promised gorgeous female ghost?!

I picked up this book becuz of the title. I have to say, my expectation is blown. 4.8/5 stars for me.

I think author-nim writing style is amazing, the plotline, the characters, all are amazing.

This theme is a mix of "New times, new hell" and abit of '"dont discriminate against species.

... more>> Let talk about ML; he is the most ML of any ML I have ever read; Charming, silly, full of love towards MC, strong, especially his devotion to MC.

About MC, author-nim fully shown his capabilities, his character is top-notched. He is the "never back down, never give up" kind.

Spoiler
[collapse]
1. I think MC didnt realize he slowly but surely falling in love with ML since ML came back to change his lightbulb. Otherwise, MC would have kicked him out and never spoke to him again. The first kiss in Mt. Ganssan show that MC unknowingly felt in low.

About CBY, I think he is a very nice guy. He knows he is late to catch LYJ, so he let go and become good friends with him, helping him. His "U are the only defeat I'm willingly accepted" is too touching.
Spoiler

Anywayssss, please pick this amazing story. Every line will worth your time. <<less

To be honest, I just made it to chapter 52 and had to take a break. The writing itself is good and the characters are ok but it kind of bored me out.

It took about 35 chapters until ML told MC that he is his Marriage partner. Afterwards there wasn't that huge a difference.

MC is running around and solving exorcism cases while ML is tagging along, feeding MC snacks and taking care of him.

I know there is this big picture and mystery but it can't draw me in... more>> enough to make this novel fun to me.

Maybe I will read the later chapters another time... <<less

Overall rating - 4.5

Settings

The story is mainly set in modern society, based on ghost exorcism, the underworld and the "Way of Heaven" a.k.a Tian Dao, as well as some demons and gods, all associated with the Chinese culture.

... more>> Story Analysis

The MC is a gifted ghost exorcist, who was plagued with bad luck from childhood and had to go through a ghost marriage to nullify the bad luck. The ML... Well, he's the "random wandering ghost" who was married to the MC via the ghost marriage. Initially, the MC never met the ML again after the marriage, and longed to meet "her" (the MC always thought ML was a female ghost before knowing the truth) because after the ghost marriage, his bad luck really went away and he could feel the protection of his "wife".

The story starts with the MC being framed and expelled from the ghost exorcism association he was working with. After that, MC started his own business, and on one night during the Chinese ghost festival, he reunited with a childhood acquaintance. That person also happened to know a thing or two about exorcism, so the two decided to take some exorcism work together. While solving some cases, they stumbled upon some mysteries, which started the discovery of dangerous and ugly secrets. But it was just the start; the puzzle pieces were scattered everywhere, and countless layers of truth and falsehood were purposefully intertwined, hard to distinguish one from another...

Review and opinions

Happy ending. A teeny tiny itsy bitsy drop of dog blood. No misunderstandings between the CP. A power couple.

Spoiler

And a totally unexpected plot twist. Also, a surprise side CP and a forgotten past encounter between the main CP.

[collapse]

The plot is quite interesting, and the characters also have depth and dimension. Especially, the development of romance between the main CP is described vividly throughout the story, and it also happens to be very sweet and wholesome without any toxic traits, which is quite rare to see in a lot of danmeis in the horror genre.

About the horror elements, I think it might be scary enough for normal (??) audiences. But if you seek for heavy terror, you might find this story to be quite light. However, take my views with a grain of salt because I am quite numb to horror - I am a person who watched "Residence Evil" series in before I was old enough to start school, and by the time I am over 10 yrs old, I was watching stuff like "Insidious" series, "The Conjuring" series, "Occulus", etc. all alone without even batting an eye.

Anyway, back to the reviews - I think both the MC and ML, as well as the side characters are likable.

The MC is not some "holy father-like" saintly person, but he's upright in his own way. His strength and glory comes from heavy grievances and sufferings from the past, and he has his own vulnerabilities, as well as mysteries he can't solve by himself, which makes him "human". I also like his views and mentality about a lot of matters.

The ML has some ghostly tendencies to be violent, but one glance from the MC, and he tries his best to be a good Samaritan. Quite obsessed with the MC and is a giant vinegar jar. But not unreasonably possessive; respects the MC's boundaries and the most important thing for him is MC's happiness. A rare, precious green flag ghost hubby...

Spoiler

and also, an enormous gay magnet 🌚. Anywhere he stays long enough, same s*x CPs will emerge, especially in the underworld.

[collapse]

Bonus point - both MC and ML seem to like animals. MC has a cat and a spiritual pet "furball", ML raises some mythical creatures as well as other animals in the underworld and likes to feed them (although it's unsure everything he feeds to those animals can be considered a "normal healthy diet")

The side characters have their own interesting personalities and backstories. Everything is well-connected and there's no noticeable plot-holes. The lack of half a star is because I feel that the horror elements are not scary enough
Spoiler

and I think Chu BanYang deserves a partner at the end. Come on author-laoshi, my boy deserves some love :3

[collapse]

Anyway, an interesting story, convincing logic, 3-dimensional characters and healthy, sweet romance - recommended to give a try. <<less

So I really think this story is great and didn't receive enough attention!

The horror elements weren't too scary, the humor was spot on, and the ending was very satisfying.

I especially liked the attention to detail for the side characters from each arc story that were brought back again and given resolutions of their own. Also that characters who initially seemed like they may turn dark, rose to the occasion and became heroes along with our MC and ml.

That was another nice thing. It wasn't that the MC and ML were... more>> OP. (Well they were, but their enemies were stronger) Everyone had to come together in the final battle and played a role.

I also thought it was fun that the ML wasn't a suave, cool ice man type, but instead was a hopeless love brain and vinegar jar who can't resist feeding the family familiar ghost tr*sh and skulls.

There is some issues with the quality of editing but I've seen a lot worse so I'm not going to make an issue of it.

Overall, this was just a very fun, very satisfying read. Give it a try! <<less

Honestly, I had high expectation on this but then when the story unfold, MC seemed to glide into every scene without proper plan about his life/future.

Initially after he resigned, he wanted to be horror live streaming anchor but then it was never mentioned anymore.

Then he opened up a pub just as a facade for his metaphysic company, but he never really got a request from his supposedly extensive contacts.

... more>> From the story so far, MC seemed to be guided by some strange fateful events to figure out his past life.

But everything seemed mundane and impassionate, thus I'll shelved this for now. <<less

I MTL-ed this and stop at chapter 41. It is veryyyyy good. But I got too exhausted mtl-ing and skip ahead to read the sweetest part. The plot is very engaging, even in broken english, bleedy eyes, it was enjoyable. I’m gonna take a break and wait till this completed.
The characters isn’t overly powerful even though they are powerful. They don’t mind doing mundane task like human. They have their own flaw. Gong also realize that he can’t force shou to like him. I love that part ahhh

I am a huge coward who normally hates horror but sometimes I can't resist a very interesting premise.

And while a lot of the scenes in this book definitely creeped me out, I loved this so much. The MC, the ML, the rich story and supporting characters, all coming together with such perfect harmony.

This story had me tearing up one second, then belly laughing, then flicking on all the lights, then back to crying. Such an awesome roller-coaster ride of emotions.

The sweet romantic love weaving through the story, while warm familial... more>> love kept peaking through.

Epic battles, different smaller arcs, with an overarching well planned story line

Definitely a great read <<less

The story 5/5 stars

The translation 3/5 stars

This was frustrating... The story is an amazing unique story but I could tell the translator on moonlight novels near the end of the story gave up on making it good. Every few paragraphs you can tell it's just copy paste mtl with maybe one or two fixes.

And I'm sure if your fine with reading mtl you'll love this story but I'm just sick of reading mtls ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ

top three novels of all time. the characters, plot, etc, were all written unexpectedly well. I went into the novel expecting to read a typical horror bl plot. it was much more than that. the novel delves deep into love. the love between lovers, between friends, between family, and even between strangers. the balance between comedic, light-hearted moments, and emotional, thought-provoking scenes was done perfectly.

the undying loyalty and perseverance that characters showed were so emotionally impactful. other than the main characters, even side characters were written really well. their backstories... more>> could be written into a spinoff, thats how good it is.

Spoiler

i cried so much when I read the scenes showing their past lives...

[collapse]

the plot twist was definitely unexpected, and the entire story itself is unique. it isnt too long, approximately 100 chapters, and I finished it within three days. even with this relatively short length, the author manages the pacing really well, and I never felt that the plot dragged on too much.

if youre looking for heartwarming, bittersweet moments, all wrapped up in a bundle of humor, mystery and horror, i'd definitely recommend this novel, give this novel a chance! <<less

4.2 although it's not gonna be on my reread list.. I must say that this is well written, the sweet is on the beginning they don't like other supernatural BL that developing romance are too slow.., they developed it well and the sweet is became sweeter every time, the exorcism act is not overpowering and it become a good envelope to bind our cp...

The story started off somewhat serious but became more and more comedic in later chapters. MC was the chief of the exorcists association. He resigned because of some issues but the other exorcists still respect him and helps him when he asks. There is no backstabbing or hidden evil intentions. There are 4 aristocratic exorcist families each with their own style which is funny like one group resembles loan shark gangsters and another group is like gigolos. There are a lot of interesting characters among the exorcists. I especially like... more>> MC's rival who's a tsundere.

ML is very dedicated to MC. There's a backstory regarding their past which explains why. He's a bit possessive and gets jealous but not overly so. I love the interaction between ML and MC's summoned pet. ML keeps feeding it with unusual things which MC disapproves of. It's funny when ML and the pet try not to get caught for eating weird things by MC. The story is also interesting with the mystery of why MC is plagued with misfortune which is actually the major point of the plot. <<less

An absolutely ridiculous story with love weaved through out. Not just between the MC and ML, but also the supporting cast is so good and the overarching plot is full of love.

Honestly, this is just a fun read with one of the most hilarious ML's ever, character development for all and the occasional angst that socks you in the stomach. This novel deserves way more votes!

One of the novel with the most satisfying ending.

Everything was solved. Everything was perfectly in place.

I'm glad I persisted. Some part were boring cause long description. Most parts are entertaining and make my mouth can't closed.

... more>> I honestly love every scene. Of the main couple, JX's love brain is the most endearing. Every other character's scenes (some character, even just one time filler, have some screen time to explain their story, background, relationship, etc) are well written by the author.

I love the tsundere CB, loyal silly bff YF, tea lover coward CZ, Sassy lady CXL, our spider sister Ah Mei, kind swindler YG, unexpected roles ZS, and many moreeee

This has good world building. Emphasize the kindest and principle of human (while some novels I read was full of protagonist meeting villains and face slapping. It's repetitive but I guess that's the whole point of making the protagonist goes on their adventure. But this novel can show that world isn't consist by evil things or people, just complex human with morality and kindness) -- the state of world restoration, I think? 🤔

Spoiler

After all, the plot basically how a lot of people helping LYJ. Why they help? Cause they are guilty of making LYJ have a date full of misfortune.

A kind of guilt ridden that goes through generation to generations. Their resilience to finish what they have done. The teaching that cross time and era. Maintained just for the sake of atoning their ancestor's sins.

A literal "Debt of parent I herited by the child".

You can even see the struggle in Zang Shuwan's POV when she first know that her fate was to help some unknown stranger. She ask "Why the sin of our ancestors is now the sins for us to pay?" I truly respect her.

[collapse]

The antagonist in this one has clear purpose too. Not just there for the sake of protagonist. Actually, only a few or I can only remember few 🤔

Spoiler

First obv Chen Qi. His target primarily is not LYJ. He even begin his villainy before LYJ comes in picture.

He plans every steps, clear everything in his way, fooling his fool brother, and personally try to erase the final evidence he, at first, left alive (Fa Xin). Honestly, I didn't suspect him till the final part. He has clear conscience as to say. Not just vague hatred.

Second obv the Heavenly Way. This guy aint some ordinary shit. Everytime the "eyes on the sky" appear, I feel genuine goosebump. But his end was mid. He is easily replaced.

... Wait, am I only remember this two antagonist? Was there any more???

[collapse]

It's kind of regretful that most side characters is constricted in their respective own story. So after that, mostly we don't know what happen to them next. Except some story with brief ending explanation in between. If this were longer, I wish the side character appear more even outside the story. But I'm asking too much 😂

My favorite arc was in School Ghost. It was wholesome and they got key to the puzzle. The one where LYJ ask CB something triggering (I know all the time that he is like that but damn, LYJ was so blunt and I feel hurt for CB. Tho mister second place doesn't need my feeling). Also when CB called out on CQJ.

My most lovable character is CB and most self sacrifice character is JX.

Spoiler

Some of you may think that the love at first sight JX is ridiculous and not logical. Cause at first I feel like that too, in most first sight love, honestly. But after reading the description on how JX think when their meet for first time. I don't think it's ridiculous anymore
