Strange Tales of Sui Gui Tang

[A collection of supernatural tales, with mild horror and mystery, told in reverse chronology and grounded in everyday life. The full manuscript is complete, with steady daily updates, usually around six in the evening. I won't abandon this story. I hope you lovely readers will interact and show your support!

[Blurb]

Yue Gui slashed her own face. As tears poured down, they fell like drops of blood.

She could never have imagined that one sentence from her would frighten a king who ruled the world and wielded death with ruthless decisiveness to death. Nor could she have imagined that the compassionate mountain god would defy heavenly punishment for her, perishing and losing his divine power as a result.

Self-blame, guilt, remorse, collapse: all were shackles of sin.

Bearing all this, how was she supposed to go on living?

Yue Bai understood from the beginning that Yue Gui had pulled her back from the brink of death not because she truly wanted to.

She was utterly indifferent to everyone, as if she had no heart at all.

Except for that compassionate mountain god.

Thankfully, she was dead.

"Gui-niang, I know I don't deserve you, but I'll try my best. I only ask that you let me stay."

"A-Bai, I'm only using you. If A-Luo can come back, I'll sacrifice anything, including you."

"It doesn't matter. I'll never refuse you. You don't need to go to the trouble of keeping me prisoner."
