    Who would have thought that a down-on-his-luck office worker, driven to desperation by loan sharks, would suddenly receive a 30 million yuan detached mansion, only to be burdened with a deadly contract? "Inheriting a Mansion as a Debtor, But the Tenants Aren't Human" breaks free from the typical supernatural wish-fulfillment novel formula, using the obsessions of ghosts to illuminate the regrets of humanity, becoming increasingly poignant with each reading. The protagonist, Chen Mo, burdened with 800,000 yuan in debt, initially tries to escape by selling his house, but is forced to become a landlord of a haunted house, paying rent by helping the spirits of the dead settle their grievances; failure to do so shortens his lifespan. He delivers a three-month-late spicy hot pot to a deliveryman who died suddenly, helps Lin Xiulan, who has waited twenty-four years, find her wedding ring, and seeks a belated apology for the wrongfully deceased actress Su Wanqing. Each supernatural task hides the regrets of ordinary people who yearn for what they cannot have. There's no mindless monster-slaying; horror is merely a facade, warmth is at its core. Those spirits lingering in the human world are not malevolent ghosts, but simply pitiful people trapped by regret. Chen Mo initially passively tries to survive, but gradually becomes willing to dedicate himself to helping the souls of the deceased, growing as he navigates the struggles between making a living and saving others. The story intertwines the everyday life of ordinary people with eerie tales of haunted houses, offering both supernatural horror and poignant realities. The struggles of ordinary people and the regrets of the departed are layered, elevating the narrative far beyond typical supernatural web novels and leaving a lasting impression.
