    Late at night, I'd be tuning a radio, and amidst the static, occasionally a voice would pierce the silence, seemingly belonging to no channel. I turned this idea into a novel. The protagonist, Liu Siyang, takes over a midnight radio program called "Midnight Horror." On its opening night, a strange, unexplained phone call enters the studio. Radio waves connect the past and present; behind each eerie tale lies a long-buried secret of Shengjing City. Episodes and a main storyline, updated daily at 00:05, creating a truly immersive late-night reading experience. Fans of urban radio ghost stories, suspense, and the supernatural can search for the title "Midnight Horror: Radio Tales." [Eye roll]
