To save my sister, I volunteered to become the Fire God Bride.

But before the ritual began, I ran into Tang Feifei, the school bully who had tormented me for three years.

She ruined my wedding dress and beat up my face.

But she didn't know that the Fire God's wedding attire must not be damaged or removed, and the bride must not have any injuries on her body.

Anyone who breaks the rules will become the new sacrifice.

And the new sacrifice will be burned alive!

Our village has always been very superstitious. Every year during a severe drought, we select a girl, dress her in a grand, magnificent wedding gown, and send her to marry the Fire God.

The bride, drenched from head to toe, endures being scorched by flames for ten seconds as the villagers pray.

Normally, a person would get injured but could survive; however, there have been those who were burned alive in previous years.

So, the bride is essentially a sacrifice, and the wedding can very likely become a funeral.

To avoid this cruel ritual, young girls have fled the village.

Unfortunately, this year is another drought, and my sister has been chosen as the Fire God Bride.

My sister is only five years old and still a child who knows nothing.

To save my sister, I volunteered to take her place and marry the Fire God.

Before the wedding ceremony began, the High Priest allowed the bride an hour to reunite with her family at home.

But when I returned home wearing the wedding attire, I ran into Tang Feifei, the school bully who had tormented me for three years, right at the ancestral hall entrance.

Coincidentally, she was also wearing a wedding dress.

A group of minions followed behind her.

The moment I saw her, my stomach contracted tightly, and memories of being beaten and bullied at the door, in the equipment room, and in the alleyway over the past three years flooded back.

All because, in school, the boy she liked asked me a math question, and she thought I was seducing her boyfriend.

After class, she led her minions to block me in the girls' restroom, not only taking turns slapping me and tearing my clothes.

They even stripped me bare and recorded it on video.

Under her bullying shadow, I developed severe depression and had to take a break from school.

But I never expected to see her again in the village.

Without waiting for me to avoid her, she blocked my path first.

"Lin Xiaoyu, you little slut! Can't get rid of your seducing habits, huh? Knowing it's my wedding day, you deliberately dressed like this to seduce my husband?"

Her minion, and now bridesmaid Tang Xue, sneered from the side, "Lin Xiaoyu, did you find out in advance that the High Priest's family's young master was going to marry Feifei today in the ancestral hall, so you deliberately showed up here in a bride's outfit!"

Wang Haoxuan, the only son of the High Priest's family, is of noble status and the target of countless girls who vie to marry.

Many girls take pride in becoming the daughter-in-law of the High Priest's family.

Tang Feifei was no exception.

To absorb the Fire God's wedding happiness, Wang Haoxuan scheduled his marriage to her on this very day.

But seeing the obviously higher-quality Fire God wedding dress on me, jealousy flashed in Tang Feifei's eyes.

She immediately instructed someone to hold me down, stepping forward to punch and kick me, then grinning ferociously, she attempted to tear off my clothes.

Every time I was bullied before, I was afraid, but this time I didn't resist, allowing her to assault me.

Because she didn't know either, the Fire God's wedding attire must not be damaged or removed, and the bride must not have any injuries.

Anyone who breaks the rules will become the new sacrifice.

And the new sacrifice is not just scorched by flames but will be burned alive.
