Description
In the twilight of colonial Malacca, a young woman named Li Lan receives an astonishing proposal: to become the ghost bride of a wealthy Chinese family's deceased son. Torn between her own desires and the crushing weight of her family's debt, Li Lan finds herself entangled in a world of spirits, ancient traditions, and forbidden desires. As she navigates the opulent yet eerie afterlife of her spectral groom's family, she uncovers dark secrets and a dangerous conspiracy that threatens not only her own soul but the balance between the living and the dead. Yangsze Choo masterfully weaves a tale of mystery, romance, and cultural heritage, exploring themes of identity, fate, and the enduring power of love across the veil.
