Chapter 1: The Real Wronged Ghost!

“Bai Family Girl, wake up! You have to go on a blind date.”

“If you don’t hurry, the good man will be snatched away by someone else.”

Bai Linglong was sleeping soundly when she was forcefully pushed awake. Looking at the middle-aged woman dressed in a very retro style in front of her, her head felt as if it was stuck in a puddle of paste, unable to move.

“Why are you still staring blankly at me? Hurry up, get up, wash up and get dressed. Mrs. Pan has already called her niece. If you don’t go now, they’ll take your place.”

“Today, that young man is a rare catch. His whole family works in a state-owned factory, and he’s tall and robust. Girls from miles around want to marry him. If I hadn’t asked my relatives to help arrange this blind date for you, he might not have bothered to come.”

“Hurry up and get ready.”

As the woman continued to spit out words, Bai Linglong finally came to her senses. Her mind cleared, and a long segment of memories that didn’t belong to her flooded into her mind.

She was originally a person of the 21st century, born into the wealthy Bai family, she was the apple of her parents’ eyes, living a carefree and privileged life since childhood. However, when she was ten, her parents died in a car accident, and the vast family estate fell into the hands of her second uncle. From a pampered princess, she became a poor soul who had to live under someone else’s roof.

It wasn’t until she turned eighteen that she accidentally learned that her parents had been killed by her second uncle and his wife colluding with outsiders. From that moment on, she began to plan her revenge, taking ten years to send all her enemies to the underworld to confess to her parents.

With the Bai family’s assets back in her hands, Bai Linglong had just cleaned up all the scum within Bai Group when she felt exhausted and took a nap. It was then that her soul was mistakenly summoned to the underworld by a soul summoner.

However, upon arriving in the underworld, when the judge read out her death information, she realized that the death record was completely different from hers.

The deceased had the same name and surname as her, but was already 82 years old, while she was only 28.

A truly wronged ghost!

She had suffered greatly over the past decade, and just as she was beginning a new life, the soul summoner’s mistake caused her life to be lost. Filled with resentment, she caused chaos in the underworld, causing wild ghosts and evil spirits to run amok, eventually forcing the King of Hell to negotiate with her personally.

She strongly demanded that the King of Hell use his powers to send her soul back to her body. However, he informed her that the world she was in had disappeared due to changes, and everything was gone. Her soul couldn’t return.

At that moment, she was so angry that she nearly lost her soul. She argued fiercely with the King of Hell in the Hall of Judgement for a day and a night, eventually winning the opportunity to be reborn in a parallel space.

Before jumping into the reincarnation cycle, she also snatched a small artifact from the King of Hell as compensation.

The artifact!

Originally hanging from the King of Hell’s waist, it looked like an ordinary ring, but she could tell at a glance that it was extraordinary. Remembering the pained and constipated expression on the King of Hell’s face when she took it, she was even more eager to know the artifact’s function.

Thinking about this, she quickly searched, and with a turn of her hand in the bed, the gray-white ring appeared in her hand.

Seeing the ring with her, Bai Linglong felt relieved.

“Bai Family Girl, why are you still dawdling? Hurry up.”

The woman beside her couldn’t help but push her again, frowning with a complex expression, “Are you having second thoughts about going? If you don’t go, how will we pay for your mother’s surgery? Your mother must be taken to the operating room today. Yesterday, the doctor said that if you delay any longer, your mother’s life will be in danger.”

Her words struck a chord, perhaps influenced by the consciousness left by the original host. Bai Linglong sat up, “Aunt, I understand. I’ll go.”

“That’s right, hurry up.”

The middle-aged woman seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her face. As she walked away, she added, “I’m waiting for your good news.”

At this moment, Bai Linglong had fully assimilated the memories of the original host. She and the original host shared the same name and surname, and the original host was eighteen this year.

It was now the 1970s in this parallel space, an era where the problem of adequate food and clothing had yet to be solved. Shortly after the Lunar New Year, in early 1976, she lived in Niujiaowan Brigade, under Chengyang County in the remote southern part of China.

The family situation was very similar to certain plots in online novels, with a bunch of despicable relatives, including a scumbag father she didn’t even want to mention.

According to the original host’s memory, this time it was her scumbag father who had hooked up with a woman from the city, finding them burdensome, and forced her mother to divorce him. The scumbag grandpa and grandma, along with uncles and aunts, joined forces to pressure them. The mother and daughter clashed with them, and as a result, the original host’s mother was seriously injured and unconscious after being hit in the head by Grandma Bai.

The original host had a hot temper, sharp as a hedgehog since childhood. Seeing her mother injured, she picked up a kitchen knife and fought desperately against the Bai family, eventually passing out from excessive anger.

The mother and daughter both fell unconscious, and the commune leaders urgently sent them to the county hospital. However, the county hospital said their injuries were too severe and life-threatening, so they rushed them to the city hospital.

The original host survived, but the doctor said her mother needed surgery costing two hundred yuan. She had no choice but to call her scumbag father for the money, but the scumbag refused to pay, and they had a huge argument at the hospital.

The middle-aged woman who had just spoken to her was a relative of a patient in the next ward. She was a matchmaker and, seeing that Bai Linglong was pretty and educated, and urgently needed money, she took the initiative to approach her. She offered to introduce her to a suitable match, saying that if they liked each other, the bride price would be enough to cover the surgery costs.

In utter desperation, the original host agreed.

Due to the actions of the Bai family and her scumbag father, the original host was filled with extreme anger and hatred. Her emotions were so intense that she couldn’t sleep at night and ended up dying from the stress.

This unfortunate event allowed her, a wronged ghost, to take over a good body.

Glancing at the severely injured and comatose mother on the next bed, she accepted the reality of occupying someone else’s body and murmured, “Bai Linglong, I will live well in your place and take care of your mother. I will deal with the people you hated and make sure they don’t have good days ahead.”

As for the blind date, the original host was actually unwilling, but had no other choice.

Bai Linglong touched the two yuan and thirty cents in her pocket and sighed helplessly. She couldn’t bring herself to sell herself for a bride price, so she planned to meet the blind date first and then go ask the scumbag for money.

The original host couldn’t get it, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t.

She quickly tidied her clothes and was about to leave when the matchmaker came in again, her words tumbling out like firecrackers: “Bai Family Girl, hurry up! The young man is at the state-run restaurant. His surname is Lu, wearing black clothes and pants, in his early twenties, tall and handsome, over six feet, robust and masculine, a rare catch…”
