The once-bustling and noisy streets were now filled with an eerie blanket of silence.... more>>

Hoarse and frenzied whispers lingered high above the heavens, and an indescribable ancient giant lurked in the shadows of the bottomless ocean.

A mysterious plague had outbroken, and natural disasters wrought the Earth. Global pandemic and catastrophes had the panicked masses seeking illusory shelters from the devastation, day and night.

A bloody shower poured over the land as the streaks of lightning tore across the sky, illuminating the ill-intentioned gathering of ravens above. Nevermore, nevermore, quoth the ravens.

“We can see that this malformed creature has twelve pairs of ribs like humans, but also has a “transverse bone” that humans do not possess…”

In the medical school, Gu Jun continued bringing down his scalpel, illustrating the abnormal thoracic structure of the malformed cadaver on the dissection table to the surrounding students.

Ominous and treacherous times had descended! Truth and logic had crumbled, order warped into a frenzy. Humanity can only forge ahead through the power of intelligence and wisdom. <<less

“A Virtual Dream Device? What the heck is this?”... more>>

“Is it used for daydreaming? Nope, not interested.”

“What? It could simulate reality at a hundred percent? I could live out half a year in one night’s time and bring in a replicate of a real person?

Hmm, pretty sweet I must say.”

Deemed hopeless by her family and that she was better off married when her fourth novel continued to be a flop, aspiring author Xiang Wan begins to doubt herself. While feeling conflicted about continuing her dream as an author, things take an unexpected turn when a dazzling guy appears before her and takes her to the police station.... more>>

"What? I'm the primary suspect in a mu*der case?"

A mu*der has taken place and the details are eerily similar to the details of her latest novel. The dazzling guy turns out to be a talented detective with a hidden identity who is assigned to investigate the case. From then on, her life turns topsy-turvy.

In the beginning, she seeks the detective's protection by requesting to stay overnight at his place.

"Detective Bai, is it not the duty of the police to protect the witness when her life is in extreme danger?"

She ends up staying at his house overnight because of various reasons, such as—

Scenario 1:
Xiang Wan: "Detective Bai, you have no right to detain me..."

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."

One winter day.... more>>

It all started when an unfamiliar woman found the Duke’s lost child and brought it back.

The man she had been with for five years told the woman, “I want you to be the hostess of the family.”

“What? But….”

At that moment, she realized something as if it was only natural.

Ah, so it will end like this.

“Alright. I will leave the Duke’s mansion.”

It was a ridiculously futile ending. <<less

I reincarnated as the villainess, Eliana Mussieux, who was killed by the scheming Emperor.... more>>

Rather than do nothing and die according to the novel, I planned a path to survival by seeking him out.

But . . . something’s not right?

I haven’t done anything yet, but the Emperor started to cling onto me first.

“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.

“If you go, I’ll kill that bastard.” <<less

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…

“I came to pick you up. I made you wait, didn’t I? Open the door for me.”

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>>

Jiang Shuo and Qin Yiheng are a peculiar duo of real estate investors who purchase well-known haunted houses at low prices. After exorcising the ghosts and evil spirits, they sell the houses again, each time earning great profits. Their ‘business’ is doing exceptionally well!

However, the lucky duo never expect that they are being followed by some strange people. Surrounding them, a big conspiracy is quietly being harboured. The mysterious real estate collaborator Six Fingers and the ‘non-human’ partner Yuan Zhen comes one after another; many extremely dangerous haunted houses keep appearing. 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!

In the end, what conspiracy is hidden there? Is it true that those haunted houses’ ghosts and feng shui¹ want them dead? Who is the Mysterious Figure behind all this?

¹ 风水 [Feng Shui], also known as Chinese geomancy, is a practice originating from ancient China which claims to use energy forces to harmonise individuals with their surrounding environment. Believed to be a pseudo-science and still widely used in many East Asian countries today, feng shui’s most common application is to orient homes and buildings in an auspicious manner. <<less

“I went to prison for ten years for him, and not once did he come to see me.”... more>>

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.

Until the appearance of Qi Yang.

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

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

Turbulent times.... more>>

In a world situation where fierce battles break out at any time,

There lived Nemia, a petit innocent commoner.

Nemia is destined to face the gun of the enemy,

While running away from him, she is captured by Anton, who calls himself a ‘hero’, and is used as a tool to lure the enemy’s giants.

Nemia, who doesn’t even know she is being used.

And Noel, the enchanting enemy who yearns for her most ardently.

“I’m worried about you. Aren’t you trying not to want anything, or maybe you just don’t know what you want? Or is it that you’re trying not to want it?”

The moment she realises that everything about him was a deception for his grand goal,

She cannot help but feel intense hatred towards him.

As deeply as it was etched in her heart, down to her very bones.

“Nemia, do you want to run away from me? Then try running away.”

Noel looked at himself reflected in the clear eyes and spoke as if chewing on something.

“I will destroy all of your world. I will make you crawl to me yourself.”

Only after losing does he realise…

‘I yearn for the you of yesterday.

I eagerly await the you of tomorrow.

Every night passing without you torments me.’

* * *

“I feel like hating you to death.”

It took her a long time to speak, and she saw him for the first time that day.

“I want to die too. I want to kill the part of me that loves you.”

If only I didn’t know you, I wish I didn’t know you. <<less
