Seven days before Mason's wedding, no matter when he turned on the computer or the TV, all he saw were news reports of Katherine's strange death and her body's miraculous disappearance, and even the text messages and phone calls on his cell phone were all related to Katherine's death. The bride is still wearing a blood red dress and bridal makeup.

Mason, who had been in a good mood to get married, felt like he was about to collapse. At this point, Mason's unplugged phone rang, and when he picked up the phone out of habit, he remembered that the phone line had been ripped out by himself. The phone call was from Mason's parents, who said that Katherine's parents had fallen out with them and were planning to hold a funeral for Katherine on Mason's wedding day.

Mason was so angry that he began to regret his childish remark, but Mason's remark ruined the life of an innocent girl.

When Mason was less than three weeks old, his neighbor gave birth to a daughter, and when he first saw the little girl, he reached out his hand and said with a lisp, "Nice, hug." At that time, the adults present, after hearing it, they laughed, one of them jokingly said: "When you grow up, let her marry you?" "Yes!" Mason said in an unusually firm tone.

Originally this was just a joke, we laughed it off. But the time is passing, Mason and Katherine since childhood very good relationship, just when Mason like a brother with Katherine to play together, the adults will jokingly ask Mason whether they still remember the childhood promise.

It was the adults' jokes and reminders that made Katherine feel like she was born to live for Mason.

In the semester when Mason graduated from high school and Katherine graduated from junior high school, because Mason was going away to college. So the two childhood friends, who have never been apart, are so attached to each other. So much so that the last two hot teenagers together to taste the forbidden fruit, and promised a lifetime never leave each other.

Katherine's parents had to suspend her from school and take her to have an abortion. Although Katherine wouldn't say who the baby was, her parents knew it was Mason's without even thinking about it. But as the family shame could not be revealed, her parents could only sigh at home and smile outside.

After Katherine took a break from school, she called Mason and asked him if he would dislike her lack of education in the future, but Mason said to her firmly, "I love you as a person, not as an education. Mason's words gave Katherine's family a piece of mind.

After Katherine got well, she started working part-time. But while she was working, she was studying on her own. Although Katherine only had a junior high school education and it was very difficult for her to study on her own, she thought that it would be worth all the hard work if she could stand on the same parallel with Mason in the future.

Through her own efforts, Katherine passed the adult college entrance exam and opened a fashionable women's clothing store in her hometown the year after Mason graduated from college. He found a stable job in a big company and fell in love with Kayla, the daughter of the company's president.

Katherine's mother was furious when she heard that Mason had brought home a girlfriend and called Katherine. When Katherine heard the news, she couldn't believe it, and she was even more convinced that Mason would come back to marry her.

Katherine chased away the customers and closed the store, then she ran straight to Mason's house. The extreme pain made him forget that there is a vehicle called a car in this world. The road that he usually walked more than a thousand times, he felt so far away, so strange.

When she ran to Mason's house in one breath, she didn't have the courage to walk in. She hesitated in front of Mason's house for a long time, and also wandered for a long time, but she never had the courage to walk in. Katherine's mother dragged Katherine into Mason's house in anger, and the Mason family was happily chatting and watching TV in the living room.

Mason's mother was smiling and greeting Katherine's mother and daughter, and Kayla was confused, her eyes darting from one to the other.

Katherine's mother angrily pointed at Kayla, but her eyes looked at Mason and asked, "Who is she?" Kayla looked at Mason, and although she couldn't guess the whole story, she did have a few guesses, and Kayla stood up angrily and said proudly, "I'm his fiance!" Kayla said one sentence at a time to strengthen her tone.

Katherine stared at Mason from the moment she walked in the door, hoping that Mason would tell her that she was always in love with her. But from the moment Katherine walked through the door, Mason didn't say a word.

Kayla's words were followed by a slap from Katherine's mother, who wrestled with Kayla while cursing: "Vixen, mistress ......" Katherine left Mason's house with a sneer and walked down the road in a daze, unaware that she had fainted on the side of the road.

From that day on, Katherine did nothing but hold a computer every day, constantly looking up everything about what happens after a person dies. She was lied to again and again, but Katherine continued to believe. One day, an Internet user who called himself a Taoist priest added Katherine, and after the Taoist priest said something Katherine had never heard of, Katherine decided to go to him.

More than a month later, that is, seven days before Mason's wedding, a strange case of missing bodies in a remote town.

Ten days before Mason's wedding, a strange fire broke out in the unnamed town, and a tutor's house burned down. The fire was very large, burning for three days and three nights, but no matter how the fire truck water to put out the strange fire could not be extinguished. Why say that the fire is strange, because the fire, although large, and can not be extinguished, but it does not affect the Taoist house outside of a penny, even small sparks have not jumped out.

Three days later, the Taoist priest and his house into a pile of ashes. Just at midnight, the pile of ashes appeared on an intact female corpse, female corpse with perfect bridal makeup, wearing a red bridal dress. But in the wee hours of the morning, the body was missing in plain sight.

Yes, the corpse is Katherine, in fact, Katherine died at midnight on the day of the meeting with the Taoist priest, the Taoist priest's intention was to turn the ghost of Katherine as his ghost concubine. But Katherine's resentment is far deeper than the Taoist priest imagined, Katherine in the Taoist priest for more than a month as a ghost concubine, finally have the ability to kill the Taoist priest, in order to create terror, she used ghost fire to the Taoist priest and his residence burned to ashes. And in the night in the image of a corpse to appear in the eyes of everyone, and then disappear. The only reason is to make Mason feel afraid.

Everyone who attended the wedding, at Mason and Kayla's wedding site, saw two brides. One is Kayla, she is wearing a white bridal gown, very beautiful. And beside her stood Katherine, who was wearing bridal makeup and a bridal gown.

The guests who came to drink, and those who came to help, all fled after seeing Katherine, except the bride and groom's family who didn't notice. When all the guests are gone, there is only Kayla and the Mason family left, who are full of doubts, and Katherine is slowly revealed to the bride and groom.

Katherine frantically asked Mason: "Why, why don't you fulfill your promise, why don't you come back and marry me, why do you Why did you move on ....."

Kayla and Mason's family were trembling on their knees, desperately praying for Katherine to let them go. No one knew what happened that night, only that Mason and Kayla had died on their wedding day. The round stare, incontinence, can see the shock before death is not small. And Mason's parents are incontinent, dazed and hiding in the corner, no one is allowed to approach, mouth desperately muttering that there are ghosts.
