A “xiongzhai”, or “haunted house” in English context, is a house where someone dies an unexpected death. Legend has it that if a person dies in such a manner, they would be resentful because their destined lifespan has not yet finished. Their ghosts will then linger around, causing ‘unnatural’ things to occur in the place.... more>>

Things become increasingly difficult to handle, sometimes even bring them to the verge of death. At this point, they realise they are trapped in a deadly net!

“Don’t go.”

Verkley grabbed Eliana’s collar. His gaze was entirely focused on her. Then, he whispered imploringly once more.

“You tamed me, Lili. You have to take responsibility.”

He bound her hands so she wouldn’t move. Before she knew it, Verkley’s lips touched Eliana’s fingertips.

From her fingertips to the back of her hand, his lips trailed kisses as if he were leaving a trace.

His eyes were fixed on Eliana the entire time.

With an unreadable expression, he pulled Eliana’s arm.

And closed the distance between them.

Then growled low with an insidious smile.

Within a campus completely enshrouded in thick fog, one’s appearance was hard to discern.

On top of the classroom podium lay a piece of sharpened chalk. Upon the blackboard, a message was scrawled in white.

“May all students enter the classroom with your admission ticket ten minutes before the exam starts. The exam instructors will inform you of the rules. Please follow them and refrain from cheating. The exam will start at midnight sharp. Those not at the testing site at that time are considered to have abstained.”

The dead broke small streamer Zong Qi received a random message one day.... more>>

[Congratulations! You have received Alpha access to the system, Horror Film Director. Signing actors with potential, come and shoot the film that fits you the best!]
Zong Qi: ? tr*sh commercial, deleted

That night, he got pulled onto the set of a horror film and was informed that if he didn’t shoot it… He’ll die.

He was lucky that the actors were all working as hard as they could, and the director only needed to stand around and watch the show.

But because he had been given way too much, Zong Qi didn’t hesitate at all before making his own changes.

Under his false identity was an ‘evil mastermind’ that fought with the actors on everything.

The immoral things he’s done on set include but aren’t limited to–

Personally putting makeup on the ghost, teaching actors how to mess and change the script, exposing himself at crucial times…

People as arrogant as him usually don’t have good endings when their identities were revealed.

What Zong Qi didn’t expect was that instead of the actors joining up for revenge, an unlucky bastard’s whose plans had been spoilt by him countless times appeared instead.

The man took off his glasses, revealing a pair of closed eyes, his face beautiful and cold.

The brush dipped in paint hooked past the young man’s neck, full of danger.

“You dirtied my brush.”

He smirked, drawling, “As punishment, I’ll dirty you.” <<less

File #0001:... more>>

Suspect: Erika Guruh

Alias: Omen

Character Profile: sinister-looking, extremely rude, notorious

Deduction: No doubt she’s the perpetrator. Besides, all evidence found points straight at her.

Facts: It’s an open secret that the accused and the victim have been at each other’s throats and that the beef between them worsened after speculations of the suspect desiring to snatch the victim’s boyfriend came to light. No wonder when the victim was found at death’s doors on the premises of a construction site, the suspicion was immediately pointed towards the suspect.

However, the situation is even more convoluted than it seems due to the suspect running away with her thug-like motorcycle-taxi-driver, despite being under house arrest. This act by the suspect only stands to further strengthen the suspicions towards her. The suspect was also the first person to arrive at the crime scene of the following victims.

My Mission: Prove that the accused is, in fact, innocent. And to find the actual perpetrator. <<less

While he was explaining the questions to me, I always admired the view of his side profile, seeing how the sunlight would hit his fluttering eyelashes, casting faint shadows just beneath his irises.

Every time I was entranced by his good looks, I would marvel at whether his biological parents were fools, because how could a normal person abandon such a handsome and healthy boy.

From then on, I believed the deep affection I couldn’t push aside for him was just the attachment I felt for an older brother, a dependency born from the lack of a father figure in my life.

Inspired by the rumored house from the urban legends, the goal of the TV show is to find the “true exit” and escape the house in seven days. To film this, eight celebrity guests were gathered in this strange mansion on a deserted island.... more>>

The rumor was that you could only visit the mansion with 101 doors when you were at death’s doorstep. When I was seven years old, I met “that child” at that huge house. After I made a deal with the kid in my thoughtless sympathy, I was surrounded by death and black-eyed goblins. What was that child’s identity? I finally made a resolution when the one I loved, Yeonseon, died—I needed to meet that kid, and…

But perhaps my wishful thinking was wrong. The death of one of the guests, the actress Goyeon Lee, awakened the malice in the mansion and the seeds of doubt sprouted amidst the people seized in fear and horror…

Detective Bai: "I remember you're the one who requested to stay at my house?"

Scenario 2:
Xiang Wan: "There's no need for that. Detective Bai, I can return..."

Detective Bai: "You've not cleared of suspicion yet. If something happens, at least you'll have an alibi."

Scenario 3:
Xiang Wan: “Why did you bring me to your house again?"

Detective Bai: "You haven't released a new chapter today!" he said, enunciating each syllable, "I want to read your latest chapter before telling you of our latest investigations."
