[Infinite flow + rules-based horror + Chinese-style horror + two equally powerful leads] Complete
[Welcome to the Candle Yin Register. Here, rules matter more than life and death.]
The midnight gong sounds, and the ghost wedding banquet begins.
A figure in red leads the way. Keep your head down and don't look.
The newlyweds offer you wine. Don't take a sip.
When the candle flame turns green, hold your breath and play dead.
Shen Qinghan realizes that to survive in this endless corridor of Chinese-style horrors, he must remember every rule written in blood. But Mo Zhiyao, who always appears in times of danger, ringing the soul-calming bell, is he an ally, or the most beautiful trap the rules have set for him?
Shen Qinghan: Logic and knowledge are the cornerstones of my faith, until the Candle Yin Register dragged me into a deadly game where rules reign supreme. One wrong step, and all is lost. Mo Zhiyao, a man who understands the darkness better than I do, has become my only variable. If I distrust him, I may die. If I rely on him, I may sink into an even deeper abyss. Reason and instinct, investigation and fog: we must carve out a path to survival through this blood-rusted road lined with ghost candles.
Mo Zhiyao: They say I attract ghosts, that I was born to live in the shadows. The curse of the Candle Yin Register? To me, it's just a homecoming. I can sense the malice and the loopholes in those rules without even looking at them. Then I saw him: Shen Qinghan. So pure, so rational, still trying to reason in an endless realm of horrors? How ridiculous. But when evil spirits latched onto him, I still rang the bell. He was confused and wary, eager to uncover my secrets. All right, then. Take my hand. I'll show you what truly lies... beneath the rules.
I have read about half of it so far. The author is very good at describing scenes. I can automatically imagine the scene when I listen to it. Especially the scene where the ghost bride is standing at the other end of the corridor made me feel nervous. Moreover, I have been reading horror infinite novels and have basically become immune to them. I think this book creates a sense of terror. Push 💕
I really like this one! The details such as the environment and the interior are very delicately painted, making it feel like you are actually there. What I like the most is the emotional line between aggression and suffering. It is the first time I have seen someone who can describe the complex emotions in Chinese love that I understand. Hate and love are intertwined, making people feel that they love the other person and think about the other person's good things, but they also hate the other person for regretting their original choice. I have been loved and hurt by each other. After the reunion, I think of the encounter in the previous life. I feel ashamed and regretful for my actions, so I have been hesitating about how to compensate the other person. During these hundred years, Gong hated the other party's ruthless deception, but his strong love made him feel that he could not hate the other party. In this repeated entanglement, a twisted love formed, and hate and love coexisted for a long time. In the end, they got back together, and Shou had no choice but to compromise and compensate for his guilt and dependence on Gong in the dungeon, while Gong still hated Shou a little. After all, what happened back then was not so easy to get over, but what was more of an obsession was that he wanted to possess Shou's obsession and love forever. Hate lasts longer than love~
