The Commandery Princess Is Wed with a Ghostly Procession; Does the Young General Dare to Marry Her?

Yu Sanqi was born with the Yinyangyan, a rare ability to see spirits and the true nature of men, but she spent her life blinded by a desperate desire for familial acceptance. Kidnapped as a child and rescued by Granny Meng in Huangquan Cun, she was forcibly returned to the Yu family at fifteen. Despite her parents raising her with neglect and cruelty, she used her spiritual powers to benefit them: she secured fortune for her father, found lost manuscripts for her eldest brother, and even transferred her second brother’s fatal leg injury onto her own soul. When she saved the Empress Dowager from assassination, her family, fearing her power and seeking to avoid her perceived disgrace, branded her a criminal. They publicly declared her dead, wrapped her body in a straw mat, and threw it into the snow, where she was left to die while her soul watched her kin curse her name.

As Yu Sanqi’s soul drifted, preparing to be devoured by ghosts, Young General Yan Du arrived. A cold, noble warrior and the Empress’s nephew, Yan Du had long harbored a secret devotion to her. He rescued her corpse, defying protocol to declare her virtue before the public. Using a miraculous Golden Pill bestowed by the Emperor, he revived her. Upon returning to consciousness, Yu Sanqi’s spiritual nature fully awakened. No longer the submissive girl she had been, she embraced her identity as an evil spirit disguised as a human. She returned to the Yu mansion during the reading of an imperial decree that enfeoffed her as Commandery Princess Minghua, a title her family had tried to deny her. With Yan Du’s support, she publicly exposed her father’s lies and her siblings’ betrayals, demanding they kneel in apology.

When her family refused to show genuine remorse, Yu Sanqi severed all familial ties, declaring that Yu Sanqi was dead and only San Qi remained. Yan Du, having forged an imperial decree to ensure she received her due rewards, suffered fifty lashes in her place but remained steadfast by her side. San Qi moved into the General’s residence, where she began her campaign of retribution. She targeted her second brother, Yu Minwu, by inflicting the same agony he had once caused her, and exposed her eldest brother’s academic fraud. She also confronted her fourth sister, Yu Tang, who had stolen credit for San Qi’s medicines and lied about her engagement to Chu Yuebai, the heir of Boyuan Houfu. San Qi used her spiritual powers to make Yu Tang swallow phantom needles and emit a foul stench whenever she lied, humiliating her in public and ruining her prospects.

As San Qi established herself as a powerful figure in the capital, selling miraculous medicines and navigating court politics, her relationship with Yan Du deepened. Yan Du, who had risked his life and reputation for her, struggled to articulate his feelings, while San Qi remained puzzled by his unwavering loyalty. The story follows her transformation from a exploited victim into a formidable force who refuses to be controlled by hypocritical social norms. With Yan Du as her ally and her spiritual powers at her command, San Qi prepares to dismantle the lives of those who wronged her while forging a new identity independent of the family that rejected her.
