During a late-night conversation, Suchen, Sadako, and Lin Haitang shared their stories with one another. As they talked, they brought up a legendary Ghost Bride whose story was deeply moving. It was said that this Ghost Bride was ancient, having already lived for a thousand years. Although she had someone she loved in her heart, she had been forced by her family into an arranged marriage with a man she did not love, ultimately ending her life in utter despair and resentment to become an evil spirit.
This Ghost Bride had built an old mansion in a desolate clearing. Legend had it that anyone who entered that old mansion would be killed by her, becoming a sacrificial victim to her grudge.
Her story spread widely among the common people, becoming a feared legend.
