original novel: wake

Synopsis

What goes around, comes around.

When Zhou Xiwei was a child, that’s what his sister and his Song-ge would tell him, every time he was excluded or suffering. Normally, they’d say it right before getting vengeance on his behalf. It was a great comfort, to think of karma balancing things. The pain that he suffered was a deposit towards future happiness, and even the coldest world might one day turn beautiful.

Then he grew up, and understood that karma wasn’t real.

Then? Then a great many things happened. He nearly died. He saw a dead man come back to life. He watched a young woman be buried over a piece of cheap plastic tubing and the world itself reverse.

He fell in love.

What goes around, comes around.

It’s a promise and a curse. It’s the way of things, on the mysterious island where Zhou Xiwei washes up alongside the other members of an ill-fated yacht charter. Fog and secrets both shroud Uto, but he’s–

Enchanted? Can you really be enchanted in the middle of a ghost story? Is that even allowed?

He’s sure that his favorite fairytales never covered that. But he’s also sure that Shan Haoyu is just too wonderful, and he can’t seem to let go, so… Enchanted he is. Enchanted and desperate to unwind the mystery before the body count rises so high that he can’t look at himself in the morning.

As long as everyone’s good and decent, it should be fine! They can be happy! He’ll break the curse and bring his lover away and- And first he just needs to figure out what the curse is. And how to break it. And dammit, why are his fellow castaways committing crimes again?! How is he supposed to work in these conditions?!

Who says that a ghost story can’t have a happy end?

The story of a delicate MC and a cursed ML, falling into sweet love while stuck in the middle of a ghost story because they have no sense of time and place! A slightly strange romance in a tropical locale, featuring supportive siblings, disappointing pasts, and way too much philosophical musing on the nature of revenge.

original novel: a dream within water

Synopsis

Gui Yin, a talented editor of a webnovel agency, is transported into his client’s unfinished story.

Getting thrown into a world of cultivation, given three little potential protagonists to raise, and suddenly becoming one of Quanjing Continent’s most venerated lord immortals was enough to make any normal person lose their minds! However, to Gui Yin it was no big deal. His life in the 21st century had been way worse. Compared to long work hours, low pay, and a dingy apartment, as well as bickering parents and a sticky (already married) ex-boyfriend, he much preferred this! Say goodbye to a life of isolation and stress–he’s finally found a place he could fit in!

But, as Gui Yin spends more time in this world, he realizes a few things are off. For example, how come every little detail of Lord Ninglan’s life already felt so familiar? Why did these martial siblings of his seem more like family than his own birth parents? How come he already knew the habits of his little disciples? Of course, these questions could be easily answered. Perhaps Lord Immortal Ninglan had been Gui Yin’s past life! Maybe their memories just merged that well! Life was still good!

It wasn’t until Gui Yin met a mysterious man in his travels that everything came crashing down. Suddenly, he was faced with malicious plots, secrets buried in his own memories, and an odd ball of a man, who claimed to be able to “read the stars”.

Despite all this Gui Yin could still smile: “It’s fine. I’ll just take care of the idiots who are trying to disturb my peace.”Synopsis

original novel gamblers' game

Synopsis

Every week, a handful of people will be dragged into a nightmare that they might not wake up from again. Without any rhyme or reason, with no pattern to be seen, the public is at the mercy of the mysterious phenomenon that takes people’s lives like a forced game of Russian Roulette.

In the midst of all this, two young men are dragged in as well. An unlikely pair with more similarities than they expect at first – a cold-blooded mu*derer and an exhausted genius, two people that bloom in the cruelty of the nightmares rather than within the safe environment of society.

In the game of gamblers, who will care that you lost your mind as long as you keep your life?
