"Pop, pop, pop..."
The sound of firecrackers echoed in the dusk of Jiangning.
A wedding procession with over a hundred vehicles attracted the attention of the entire city.
It wasn't just because this slowly moving wedding convoy was long.
It wasn't even because of the giant red bridal sedan chair that slowly made its way at the front of the procession.
But because in Jiangning customs, the bride is picked up in the morning, and the wedding reception is held in the evening.
No one would pick up their bride at this time in the evening.
Last time, Shangguan Min Yue sat alone in her bridal chamber for an entire day.
"I remember my grandma saying that marrying at night meant it was a ghost marriage," someone whispered.
"Back in the day, if a landlord's son died before he was married, they would wed him to a bride at night," another added.
