A Corrupted Heart 糜烂之心
Deep inside the Luocheng Police Department, a metal filing cabinet labeled “Bloodstained Files” holds dozens of long-unsolved, grisly cases. Each one once shocked the nation with its bizarre deaths, but limited forensic technology at the time meant they were ultimately filed away as “unsolved.” In 2025, advances in forensic science prompted the department to launch the “Bloodstained Files Resolution Project.” The first case to be reopened was the most controversial of them all: the “Terrifying P

Tales of the Ghost Whisperers 驭鬼者传
From the start, I shouted at a female ghost from the Qing Dynasty, “Down with the Qing! Restore the Ming!” The rot of feudalism, rote education, twisted perversions, taking responsibility, and the collision of three souls. Who am I, really...

Strange Tales from the Countryside 乡村诡故事
Before you start this book, a warning: if you scare easily, don't read it. If you live alone, be careful. Every short ghost story here is based on an ordinary person's real-life experience. Not a single word is made up. From the damp old alleyways of the south to the frozen, deserted villages of the north; from late-night overtime in office buildings to lights-out in university dorms; the taboos our elders forbade us to talk about, and the moments you dare not dwell on in the middle of the night
