You’re Blocking My Coffin Board

Liang Liang had been dead for hundreds of years and hadn’t been reincarnated. In his previous life, he was born into a wealthy family, and his parents had burned enough paper money for him to squander in the afterlife for hundreds of years. Naturally, he didn’t want to be reincarnated and suffer, so he stayed in his luxurious coffin. Until one day, he went to the newly built public cemetery to hang out and chat. A group of people came and dug up his grave, stuffing a dead person into his coffin. Liang Liang’s belongings were stolen. “Well, since they’re lying in the same coffin, it can be considered a joint burial,” said the old Taoist as he stroked his beard. “The local underworld has officially notified you, Liang Liang, that you’re off the singles’ list.” “What?!” Liang Liang didn’t acknowledge the “married life” until Jiang Jiang took out a stack of thick paper money and placed it in front of him. “What’s this for?” Liang Liang asked cautiously. Jiang Jiang glanced at his foolish wife and answered calmly, “Betrothal gift.” Set in a modern background, this is a ghostly tale of marriage before love, where two individuals are reluctantly paired up in a ghost marriage after being dead for many years. It’s a silly and sweet story. Jiang Jiang × Liang Liang (collectively known as the Jiang Jiang Liang Liang CP).

## My Thoughts on You’re Blocking My Coffin Board "You’re Blocking My Coffin Board" is a quick and charming read that I devoured in one sitting. It's the kind of story perfect for when you need a lighthearted escape, and its blend of comedy, romance, and supernatural elements definitely delivers on that front. ### First Impressions From the very beginning, I was drawn in by the quirky premise. A ghost, patiently waiting by his coffin, gets his afterlife disrupted by a newcomer. The initial chapters are filled with humor and a touch of melancholy, setting the stage for a sweet and heartwarming romance. I immediately sensed the story was going to be short and sweet, which was exactly what I was looking for. ### What Works Well The strongest aspect of this novel is its sheer cuteness. The interactions between the MC and ML are adorable, and the story manages to be both funny and touching. I especially appreciated the author's ability to create a compelling romance in such a short space. The inclusion of the child ghost added another layer of sweetness and a touch of sadness, making the story more memorable. I found the ending particularly satisfying, wrapping up the story nicely. ### Areas of Concern Being a short story, the plot moves incredibly fast. While I enjoyed the overall experience, I felt that some aspects of the story could have been explored in more depth. The history of the ML, for instance, hinted at a darker past that was never fully fleshed out. I also felt like there was a missed opportunity to develop the characters further. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Okay, let's talk about the backstory. The MC's death by hunger strike to pressure his family, while played for laughs, is actually kind of dark. And the reason the ML died in his past life? It's all tied to their previous relationship, which adds a layer of depth to their reunion as ghosts. It was a nice twist to discover the ML deliberately chose death to be with the MC, showing the depth of his love and devotion. ### Final Verdict Overall, "You’re Blocking My Coffin Board" is a delightful and quick read that I would recommend to anyone looking for a dose of fluff and a heartwarming romance. While it might be too short for some, it packs a lot of charm into its brief chapters. If you’re in the mood for a cute ghost story with a touch of humor and a guaranteed happy ending, this novel is definitely worth checking out. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
