Next up: She and Her Reactionaries. Blurb below.
[Chosen Worker + Veteran Bodyguard Ox-Head and Horse-Face + Ten Adorable Ghosts]
Granny Huazi worked for the Underworld for nearly fifty years. She was over seventy and still hadn't retired, making her one of the Underworld's hardest workers.
But a medical report completely crushed her career dreams. She came to her senses and decided to resign and retire to her hometown. She was done!
The next day, she packed her things and moved into an unfinished apartment for storing cremated remains that she had bought years earlier. She wanted to spend the rest of her life quietly.
Day one in Happiness Estate: Not happy.
Day two in Happiness Estate: So happy!
Day three in Happiness Estate: I'm taking you ghosts down with me!

Coming soon: She and Her Reactionaries
Four middle-aged women are accidentally drawn into a murder case during a birthday party.
They all knew the victims:
their daughters' English teacher, a newly hired intern, a mistress kept on the side, and a client of one woman's husband.
But they had all been drinking the night before and were too drunk to think straight. They had no idea how the body had suddenly appeared in the living room.
Was someone trying to frame them?
