~ The Marriage of the Deceased Daughter and the Potter!? ～  

 
Once upon a time, in a distant village, the daughter of a wealthy family fell ill and passed away. 

The village’s mudang (shaman) revealed a startling truth: the departed soul of the daughter had transformed into a virgin ghost and if they didn't resolve her resentment, something terrible would happen.


Under the master's orders, workers kidnapped a humble potter to be the groom, 

even though he was already married. 


Helpless, the potter went through a wedding ceremony with the deceased woman 

The next day, he received a great fortune as a reward 

and set out on the journey back home. 


While on his way home, the deceased woman appeared in the potter's dream and expressed gratitude for resolving her resentment.
