Background / History

Online Romance and Arrival in Dahai City

Zhang Wei’s involvement in the supernatural wedding began when he found a red cloth pouch bearing a phone number outside his home. The Marriage Certificate records this discovery on the evening of March 22. He called the number, began a relationship with the woman who answered, and traveled to Dahai City to get engaged less than a week later 20 22.

While showing off two golden handguns in public, Zhang Wei attracted police attention and met Ye Zhen, who initially mistook him for Yang Jian. Jiang Yan intervened and identified him as Yang Jian’s classmate. Zhang Wei and Ye Zhen quickly bonded over their theatrical introductions 20.

After examining the girlfriend’s photograph, Ye Zhen recognized her as a dead woman. He explained that Zhang Wei had already triggered her killing pattern: abandoning the ongoing process would cause the ghost to kill him. Zhang Wei immediately appealed to Ye Zhen for protection 20.

The Supernatural Wedding

Ye Zhen accompanied Zhang Wei to a village that had appeared on previously vacant land in Dahai City. Alerted by Jiang Yan, Yang Jian arrived to help. The village chief identified Zhang Wei as the groom, assigned the three men a house, and instructed them to fetch the bride the following day 21.

Yang Jian left Zhang Wei inside the lodging with a bottle of water for emergencies while he and Ye Zhen investigated after midnight. They discovered a Marriage Certificate containing detailed records of Zhang Wei’s activities, with references to women written in vivid red. Its ability to influence events offered a possible explanation for how he had been drawn into the wedding 22.

Following the village chief’s instructions, Zhang Wei searched the mountain graveyard and found his fiancée’s photograph on a gravestone. He began digging with a shovel he had picked up nearby. Yang Jian recognized the shovel as supernatural and took over, uncovering an empty black coffin. A red-clad female corpse then appeared on Zhang Wei’s back 23 24.

The corpse forced Zhang Wei toward a bridal sedan chair while his skin turned pale and developed corpse spots. Yang Jian and Ye Zhen briefly stopped him and removed the bride, but she restarted after being dismembered and reappeared on his back. Zhang Wei eventually fell silent and appeared lifeless 24 25.

Yang Jian used an eighth-layer Ghost Domain to reverse events within the graveyard, restoring Zhang Wei. The bride left his back and headed toward Ye Zhen. Once he could speak again, Zhang Wei urged Yang Jian to save their companion 26.

Escape and Return Home

Yang Jian concealed Zhang Wei in a gold body bag while he followed the wedding procession. After trapping the bride in a loop involving the Marriage Certificate and Ghost Post Office, he released Zhang Wei and prepared to leave 27 31.

Zhang Wei invited Ye Zhen to return to Dachang City with them, proposing that the three form the “Zhen Yang Wei Group.” Ye Zhen declined. At Dachang Airport, Zhang Wei challenged rumors about the destruction of Dahai City, telling nearby travelers that ghosts were responsible and advising them against getting married. He subsequently returned to his esports office 31 32.

Portrayal in Yang Jian’s Dream

Zhang Wei later appears as Yang Jian’s desk mate in a dream presenting them as ordinary students. He arrives late with bruises, claiming that a dog chased him into a drainage ditch after he helped an elderly woman cross the road. He sleeps through Zhang Xianguang’s lesson and afterward tries to organize a trip to an internet café 46 50.

Within this dream, Miao Xiaoshan’s notebook contains entries about Zhang Wei finding the red pouch and being chased by a dog, echoing the Marriage Certificate’s records. Zhang Wei also boasts that he could help Yang Jian repay millions, only to borrow fifty cents for a sausage the next morning. He explains that his father has withheld his pocket money until he gets into university 22 46 47.

Personality

Zhang Wei is boastful, playful, and fond of exaggerated titles. He responds to Ye Zhen’s grand introduction by describing his own “cultivation” as being at the peak of senior year and half a step into junior college. Even inside the haunted village, he competes with Ye Zhen over who can urinate farther and trades extravagant compliments with him 20 22.

His bravado quickly gives way to fear when danger becomes clear. Upon learning that his girlfriend is dead, he immediately tries to leave; at the village entrance, he invents an excuse about forgetting to turn off the gas. Nevertheless, Jiang Yan considers him good-hearted beneath his goofy behavior. His concern for others surfaces when he cries over Yang Jian’s apparently fallen body and, after his own rescue, urges Yang Jian to help Ye Zhen 20 21 25 26.
