Lin Zhou, a third-rate novelist struggling to make ends meet, received a letter from his grandmother one day:
“If you’re tired of working day and night, only to find your bank balance in the red at the end of every month; if the pressures of life have weighed down your soul so much that you can’t spread your wings and travel far; if you’re dissatisfied with an ordinary life and want to experience something thrilling and completely unlike the lives of ordinary people, then please open this letter...
“I own an apartment building.
“It’s near Lianhua Plaza in the city’s Eighth District, a squat building just eight stories high. It’s nearly as old as I am. Though its exterior isn’t fancy or glamorous, it’s sturdy and solid, and it comes with a courtyard. There’s even a well and a vegetable garden in the back. If you like, you could turn the place into a paradise away from the world.
“Of course, living alone can get lonely. The good news is that you have a few neighbors. They don’t seem very easy to get along with and are a little strange, so you’ll have to do your best to adjust. As the landlord, it’s your duty to look after them. Uncle Wang, the doorman, has worked here for over twenty years. You can ask him if there’s anything you don’t understand.
“This building is yours now. I’m sure you’ll make a fine landlord.
“Your loving grandma, forever”
Lin Zhou: Grandma! You’re my real grandma!
With tears in his eyes, Lin Zhou quit his job that very day, packed his bags, and headed back to his hometown. He was determined to become a landlord!
But why had nobody told him that the building he inherited was haunted? All the neighbors were evil spirits!
