- 51 Rule Horror: Staying Alive Gets Harder by the Day 规则怪谈：活着越来越难 My name is Lin Mo, and my hearing is a curse. I can “hear” the distorted “whispers” of objects and places: deadly rules lurking in supermarket night shifts, hospital caregiving duties, and company overtime.

Every escape makes reality seem more absurd, and staying alive grows harder by t 4Reads—Score—Shelves

The Village Guardian Ghost 护村鬼
Ghosts often haunt Ronggu Village, but the villagers themselves are not afraid. They say the ghosts are protectors of the village and would never harm its people. In fact, they protect them. Outsiders, however, are afraid, especially those who know they have a guilty conscience. That is why outsiders rarely dare to spend the night in Ronggu Village. So what exactly are these guardian ghosts like? Why are they called the village’s protectors? Let me tell you the story.

But in truth, unfairness is absolute, fairness is relative, and even the end can be unfair. There are homeless wanderers with nowhere to live and no place to call home, and there are the rich, with mansions everywhere. The same goes for ghosts: some are lonely spirits with "nowhere to be buried," while others are wealthy ghosts with burial grounds bigger than a kingdom... Wanderers are pitiful, and lonely ghosts 3Reads—Score—Shelves
