Description
Lu Yingjiu had a special constitution since he was young– he was plagued with misfortune. Under the guidance of an old master, he married a ghost. His original words were: “Let me find you a gorgeous female ghost.” However, he didn’t expect that the old master was a liar and got him married to a wandering ghost whom he didn’t know anything about. When the ceremony was over, the wind blew. The old master knelt down with a puff, shivering with fear and refusing to say more. But since then, Lu Yingjiu had never met with bad luck and gradually forgot about the marriage. Until he left the Alliance of Exorcists and started from scratch, strange things began to happen around him. For example, if something was broken at home, he would find a brand new one at the door the next day. For example, guests who came to his store to make trouble always had nightmares. For example, when he opened the door early in the morning, the person who framed him kowtowed to him and shouted, “Leave me alone, I will never dare do it again!” Lu Yingjiu: “……?” Later, a light bulb outside the door would often shatter. It was definitely done by a ghost The light bulb had Yin energy, which couldn’t be eliminated entirely. Lu Yingjiu would come here every day to exorcise it, but he couldn’t catch the ghost. He then chose to stay a night and wait, and forced the ghost to show its image—— Then appeared a handsome man holding a light bulb from the underworld. They looked at each other. The man opened his mouth and said, “I want to help you repair the light bulb. Every time you repair it, it breaks again. The quality must be really poor.” Lu Yingjiu: “…” Lu Yingjiu then said, “Why do you want to repair it for me?” The man said shyly, “Aren’t we husband and wife?” Lu Yingjiu:??? Where was the promised gorgeous female ghost?!

My Thoughts on After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld
"After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld" was a wild ride, and honestly, I'm still processing everything. It's a blend of horror, fantasy, romance, and humor, all stirred together with Chinese mythology. While it might not be for everyone, it definitely left an impression.
First Impressions
Going in, I was expecting a spooky story, but I was surprised by the comedic undertones. The premise itself is intriguing: a ghost exorcist MC forced into a ghost marriage to combat his bad luck, only to later encounter his underworldly husband. I was immediately hooked by the potential for both romance and supernatural shenanigans.
What Works Well
The relationship between the MC and ML is definitely a highlight. The ML is a devoted, sometimes goofy, "love-brain" who is completely smitten with the MC. I found their dynamic endearing, especially the ML's attempts to woo the MC, even with his questionable underworld habits. The author did a great job of making their connection feel genuine, and I appreciated that the ML respected the MC's boundaries.
I also enjoyed the side characters and the various exorcism arcs. Each arc felt connected to the overarching plot, and I liked that the side characters had their own resolutions. The world-building is well done, seamlessly blending modern society with elements of Chinese mythology, ghosts, and demons. The story explores themes of love, loyalty, and atonement, adding depth beyond the supernatural elements.
Areas of Concern
While I generally enjoyed the story, I can see why some readers might be put off. One thing that was mentioned by a reviewer was that the MC sometimes felt like he was going with the flow without a plan. I also noticed the horror elements might be too light for some hardcore horror fans.

While it has some minor flaws, the strong characters, engaging plot, and healthy romance make it a worthwhile experience. If you're looking for a supernatural story with a devoted ML and a good balance of humor and heart, I'd recommend giving this one a try. I'm giving it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
