Enjoyable story in which young Li Lan is slated to be married off as a ghost bride. She is not particularly impressed, either with the prospect or with her feckless father, who's so deep in self-indulgent grief for Li Lan's long-dead mother that he's pretty much managed to ruin the prospects of his only child. To make matters worse, not only is the suggested husband dead, he's also a dick. This last wouldn't matter so much if his ghostly form didn't keep coming back to the mortal coil to repulse his bride ever further, but all credit to Li Lan, she does eventually manage to disentangle herself from him and his train wreck of a family. Much of this disentanglement comes out of a lengthy stay in the spiritual realm, working with the dead, but needs must. Anyway, it's nicely written with a likeable protagonist. A couple of the twists (such as the identity of Li Lan's mother) are visible a mile off, however, and the whole subplot with Fan taking over Li Lan's comatose body was a drag on the main storyline, I thought.
