The Ghost Bride Game

Arthur finds himself trapped in a deadly wedding game hosted by the bloody bride Lilith at Ravenhurst Manor. Bound by a Romance Escape System, he must raise her affection to survive, but the ceremony begins with a dish made from the Duke's body, and breaking any rule means execution. The system then offers him a timed task: kiss Lilith to earn edible food.

As the countdown reaches its final second, a guest who breaks the no-wasted-food rule is instantly turned into a vase, a chilling warning of the game's stakes. Arthur presses on and kisses Lilith just in time, completing the quest, while horrified onlookers wait to see how she will tear him apart.

After his earlier kiss earns Arthur a reward, he learns the vow ceremony starts in thirty minutes and latecomers stay trapped forever. Guests compare invitations and realize they are caught in a century-old wedding. When a different groom turns out to be marrying Lilith, the system hands Arthur a riskier kiss quest with a tight countdown before elimination.

With the vow countdown nearly over, Arthur publicly performs a blessing ritual on Lilith, enraging the groom but escaping punishment under guest duty, which boosts her affection and unlocks a new soul-reading skill for him. After the ceremony concludes, the groom breaks the warning against touching the wash basin's water and returns behaving strangely, prompting Arthur to sense he has been infected by some anomaly and move away.

At the wedding banquet, the groom turns the toast into a riddle game: a correct answer earns protective blood wine, a wrong one grants any wish. Sensing the groom has already mutated, Arthur deliberately answers wrong and wishes to leave the manor with Jenny at once, only to be warned the way his wish comes true may hide danger.

Arthur and Jenny appear to walk free from the manor as the Wishwillow fulfills his earlier wish, but Arthur quickly senses another trap. A second round of riddles begins, and when a wrong answer earns a wish for eternal life, the manor reveals its twisted price: becoming part of an immortal priest.

Arthur's gift delights Lilith, boosting her affection enough that she pulls him to safety, away from a guest whose mutation is spreading. The wedding host then launches round three, forcing everyone, Lilith included, to obey a deadly riddle game; one guest answers wrong and is condemned to be skinned alive by the priest. When it's Arthur's turn, the host presents a riddle with no correct answer and demands to know his wish.

Arthur dodges an unanswerable riddle by raising a toast instead, forcing the Ravenhurst family to grant him blood wine without exacting any price, stunning every guest at the table. As the ceremony pauses for Lilith to change, Arthur tests his new soul-insight power on her, uncovering a hidden desire she has never shown anyone.
