The Seventh Bride

The most prestigious and wealthy family in City C, even the little beggar on the roadside could tell, was the Nangong family that
had suddenly emerged in recent decades!
It was said that the Nangong family was wealthy enough to rival a country, but the young Lord, Charles Nangong had been
suffering from a malignant illness and was predicted to be an invalid who would not survive beyond 30 years old.
It was even more rumored that Charles had married a wife almost every year in recent years, but no wife could survive till the
next day. The reason was yet unknown.
However, as a man full of mystery, Ivanka Bai never expected that she would become his seventh bride.
A month ago, the Nangong family domineeringly sent the wedding dowry to the Bai family and they wanted Vivian Bai, the eldest
daughter of the Bai family, to marry Charles Nangong.
Yes, they wanted Vivian, the firstborn daughter of the Bai family.
However, today, the second daughter Ivanka Bai married into the Nangong family.
She refused and resisted, but eventually she still became the wife of Charles Nangong under the coercion of her father.
Ivanka never believed in curses, nor in the theory of destinies, and she did not understand why a man who could command such
a large Nangong empire was so ignorant and superstitious.
Today is the day she and Charles Nangong get married. There was no wedding, no blessings, nothing but a ring, not even the
shadow of the groom.
In the afternoon, the Nangong family sent a convoy to pick her up from the Bai family, and went straight to the Nangong's
ancestral hall. After being led to worship a bunch of things, she was sent to a luxurious large bedroom.
The light in the bedroom was dim and weird. Ivanka sat alone by the bed, in a trance, everything seemed to be in a dream. She
never thought that her wedding would be like this, too far from the dream scene. What made her most disturbed was the
wedding night next.
Thinking of the legendary Charles who had six wives who had died, she couldn't help feeling frightened. Looking around, it was a
very grand and luxurious bedroom, but there was a strange atmosphere everywhere.
Even the gold inlaid jade ring on her ring finger exuded a strange light in the dim and dark light.

The girl who never believed in ghosts and gods, unconsciously hugged her knees, with her face full of fear.
After struggling for a long time, she was indeed tired and leaned on the bed, slowly falling asleep.
After all, she was newly married and in a stranger's territory. She did not dare to sleep too heavily, nor did she know how long
she had been sleeping. Then, she heard a sound of door opening in a daze.
A chill raised from her back spine. Instinctively, she sat up, and her sleepiness faded in an instant.
With the sound of the door opening, a tall figure appeared in front of her.
However, because the last wall lamp in the bedroom was also extinguished, her room was completely dark, and she could not
see anything except vaguely that a tall man came in.
She couldn't see his looks, either his expression, but... she could clearly feel the ghostly aura originating from him, just one
glance, Ivanka couldn't help taking a deep breath.
She was stunned, this was her husband? The legendary mysterious man who had six wives died and could not survive beyond
30 years old?
But he looked quite healthy, how could he not live over 30 years old? Superstition, it must be superstition!
Ivanka shook her head. What was she thinking? At this time, she actually had the time and energy to think about whether he was
superstitious and how many died wives he had?
