You Won’t Find This During the Day: One Ghost Story Every Day 白天刷不到：每天一个诡故事
I’m a horror writer who publishes online. I have no fame and no income, so I can only grab people’s attention by writing the most sinister, unsettling, and realistic stories. To make them feel “real,” I’m used to grounding my characters in details from the real world: real streets, real neighborhoods, real outfits, and real little gestures. I always thought a novel was just a novel. That is, until the serial killer I wrote stepped out of my story and found me in the real world.

As I gazed down the shadowy corridor and across the empty hall, the strange order of light and darkness stirred a fear of the unknown deep inside me.

My Daoist Arts Failed, but So Did the Ghosts 道术学废了，但鬼也废了
Taoists train by striving for balance and harmony. I’m different. When I train, I strive for something ghosts can’t understand. Draw a talisman? The paper catches fire before I’m even done. Recite an incantation? By the time I finish, I’ve untied my own shoelaces. My master says I’m the most useless disciple he’s ever had, the one who’s managed to learn every sect art completely wrong.
