Synopsis

They say that when a white letter mysteriously arrives in your hands, a curse has attached itself to you…

Rotting books, an empty bus, a door seeping blood…

In bizarre ways, a group of unsuspecting people who receive letters are sent to one eerie world after another.

They are called Curse-Bearers, and in the eldritch realm, they must endure their own curses.

No ghost in the eldritch realm can be killed. All anyone can do is follow the clues and find a way out to have even the faintest hope of survival.

After Chen Qiu struggled desperately to survive and went through a series of terrifying, grotesque tales, he finally made it out alive.

Only then did he understand.

The cursed are also the fortunate ones.

An ill omen may also be a ticket to eternal life…

[The Secret House of Ghostly Shadows] Complete

Deep in an enormous forest stands a lone house, hiding a fierce ghost.

A woman who has long since gone mad is locked behind two iron doors.

A midnight folk song foretells the ghost's arrival. In a cruel frenzy, it rips open people's chests and kills them one by one.

“Come on, come inside. Outside is a forest full of beasts. There's a villa here where you can stay…”

[Moxiao Village] Complete

An abandoned village is surrounded by rumors of extreme hostility toward outsiders.

Remember!

Never walk alone in the village, because you could run into another “you” at any moment!

Fortunately, a grand opera festival is held once a month.

Yet after every festival, the village is left piled high with corpses…

The villagers say nothing, and usually greet people with a “smile.”

The villagers live in houses where coffins are “kept on hand.”

What kind of village is this, really?

Okay, okay, let me start by giving my opinion, because I couldn't hold back my laughter when I saw the comments section. First, my opinion: I like stories with female leads 🤭🤭🤭 I don't know why so many people are so hung up on whether there's a female lead or not. I've read novels, many of which claim to be without female leads, but the quality varies greatly, some good, some bad.

I've seen many friends asking about the female lead. Actually, in my opinion, my main focus is on creating a more perfect dungeon and a better horror environment. I will manage the romantic storyline with the female lead well. As for how much of it there will be, it depends on your feedback. I will also shorten or expand the female lead's storyline after understanding your needs from all aspects.

Although it does resemble "The Haunted House," the author's writing is quite good, and Bai Jie's death has always been a scar on my heart. I hope the author won't kill off the female lead, please! 😢😢

The setting is similar to "The Haunted House," which is my type. After reading "The Haunted House," I've been looking for this type of supernatural novel, and I finally found it! Although the plot development and detail aren't as good as "The Haunted House," as a new author, the author has already written very well.

It's somewhat similar to "Kneeling House," which I personally think is quite good. I hope the author will continue to improve upon it and make it even better! 💕

I just feel like the main character is a bit too kind.

Why does it look so much like a ghost house?

It's pretty good, I hope there's no female lead.

The book is actually a very good one. Although it's not extremely scary, it has many plot twists and turns. The plot is tight, with each element linked to the next. It would be even better if the boss were a bit more powerful (possessing more rules).

I didn't finish listening because of the romantic pairing. The female lead, Xia Lin, seemed to be choosing the male lead, and it felt like Yang was more suitable for her, while Wen Qing seemed more suitable for the male lead because he pinched her cheek when she got close. That's just my personal opinion. I only stopped watching because of the romantic pairing, but I'll still give it five stars.
