   Reader note

   I stumbled upon this book list at midnight, and it felt even more thrilling than working overtime! 😱 "The Blood-Soaked Bun" paired with "Resignation Report"—this isn't reading novels, it's practically a manifestation of workplace resentment! Reading horror stories before bed—my courage is probably as precarious as my hairline. Reading "The Shadowy Journey of a Marriage" before sleep—I'll probably be dreaming about outsmarting NPCs; this mental massage is too hardcore. Highly recommend it! [Heart emoji]

    My sister was pleading for help outside the door, but I locked it from the inside. Five years ago, my sister had a child out of wedlock and had nowhere to go, so she lived with me. I supported her and the child for five years, but she instigated her boyfriend to hate me. Later, that man killed my entire family. My sister inherited our fortune, but she couldn't even afford a burial plot. She poured our ashes into the toilet, laughing and saying, "Lin Rufeng, you're as stupid as a pig! No matter how capable or hardworking you are, isn't the wealth you built mine anyway? Did you even get a chance to enjoy it? Hahahaha..." I woke up again, and my sister was pleading outside the door, "Sister! Open the door quickly, Xiong Da is going to beat me to death!" I laughed. In this life, don't even think about saving you again. I want this vengeful sister to get nothing!
