Not horror, just creepy and damp ➕ sweet❗️ ✧ Lin Yi moved from an urban village to the big city for work. Unfortunately, she lost six months of her memory after a car accident. Ever since, a man in black has appeared whenever she walks home alone at night, silently following behind her like a ghost she can't shake. After summoning the courage to ask him about it, he introduced himself as Zhou Qi, the ex-boyfriend she had abandoned. The strange thing was that she had no memory of him at all. Zhou Qi was courteous and considerate. He looked after her, invited her to meals, and moved into the apartment opposite hers. Little by little, he insinuated himself into her life, and she gradually let down her guard. There was just one thing: after meeting him, she dreamed every night of the same faceless man, sharing passionate nights with him in her dreams. Yet his whole body was ice-cold. One late night, Zhou Qi came over and noticed the marks on her bed. He touched her cheek with his fingertips and coaxed her in a low, husky voice: “Your face is so hot, Xiao Yi. Were you thinking about… the man in your dreams?” The icy touch sent a jolt through her. Only then did she wake up to the truth: Zhou Qi's hands had never been warm. And his face was gradually becoming one with the man in her dreams. As it happened, a Taoist priest showed up at her door. “Young lady, there's a black mark between your brows. A ghost has latched onto you.” Then people around her started getting into trouble one after another: first, a male coworker who had gotten handsy with her; then, her bullying supervisor; and finally, the man who had just confessed his feelings for her. Lin Yi had a strong feeling that Zhou Qi was behind all of it. In a panic, she bought a ticket in the middle of the night and fled back to her hometown. When she told the village chief in the rundown urban village about the man she called her “ex-boyfriend,” his face turned deathly pale. “Your ex-boyfriend… he's been dead for ages!” ☾⋆Slices of the Night☾⋆ “Xiao Yi, where are you going?” The man before Lin Yi was so pale he was almost transparent. He clamped a hand around her wrist. The icy touch pressed against her pulse, making her tremble all over. “I told you not to think about going somewhere far away from me…” His voice sounded almost wounded, but one hand held her captive while the other reached for the belt around his waist. His hoarse murmur continued: “The only safe place is by my side.” “…” Lin Yi didn't dare say a word, and didn't want to, either. She watched as the man pulled off his belt and tied it around her crossed wrists. He moved closer, his breath brushing her neck… No, he wasn't breathing at all. Only his cold, thin lips left a red mark just above her collarbone. It wasn't particularly conspicuous, but its placement was enough to invite speculation. He licked the mark and chuckled softly. “Tomorrow, wear this when you go see him, okay?” …What? Lin Yi stared at him in disbelief, her eyes full of resistance and anger. She clenched her teeth and enunciated every word. “No.” Zhou Qi wasn't annoyed. He even stepped back a little, then raised a hand and gently traced the hickey on her collarbone with his icy fingertips. His voice was tender: “Mm, that's fine too. Then… wear this to work, or stay in my bed forever.” “Choose one, Xiao Yi.” ✦, ✦ Reader's Guide: 1. Both leads are each other's first and only partners, and each other's first love. 2.

Shen Yuxi loved going out and partying, so her mother hoped that Jiang Shuyan, who had always been considerate, could help her settle down. Jiang Shuyan was afraid of women and couldn't date, so his father hoped that Shen Yuxi, the only woman he wasn't afraid of, would give him a home. After getting married, the two kept up the appearance of a loving couple, while really getting along like the most casual of friends… except for one additional marital obligation. “Jiang Shuyan, my meal buddy, fun buddy, and bed buddy.” Shen Yuxi patted Jiang Shuyan on the shoulder and described him that way. Whenever he heard this, Jiang Shuyan would smile helplessly, as if accepting the title. Then he'd put his work aside and wash Shen Yuxi's alcohol-scented clothes, or hand her a bowl of hangover soup after she stumbled home drunk. But Jiang Shuyan never imagined that one day, after Shen Yuxi forgot their wedding anniversary and even tried to make amends by giving him a bag of flashy condoms as an anniversary present… He would want to grab her reckless hand, pin her down on the sofa, kiss her fiercely, and carry her into the bedroom… Even if, in the end, he still had to coax and trick her into using up the condoms with him. Afterward, Jiang Shuyan looked at the woman beside him, half-awake but with no intention of cuddling up to him, and spoke as if in a trance. “Shen Yuxi, let's get divorced.” *After all, it seems like you'll never be able to love me.* ---Blurb written on July 12, 2026--- Theme: Protecting one another at the cost of life.
