When Tang Ruofu opened her eyes, she found herself alone and trapped inside a beautiful, luxurious mansion.
The good news was that she, an ordinary office worker, seemed to have been picked for a hit dating reality show. If she successfully paired up with one of the male contestants and the viewers chose them as the season's most popular couple, she'd win a full ten million dollars!
The not-so-good news was that something about this dating show seemed strange. There was a faint hint of... horror?
That night, after spending the day together, the handsome men and beautiful women gathered in the hall. Their phones received a message from the production team:
[Choose the contestant who made your heart flutter today, and send them a message telling them how you feel.
Please note: Any contestant who receives no messages will be left alone and assigned to sleep in the bedroom where a tenant hanged himself tonight.]
Everyone stared at the last line in disbelief: ?!!
Was this really a dating show?
Were they supposed to flirt and fall for each other during the day, then spend the night terrified out of their minds?
Wait... Hold on!
Nobody told them there were real ghosts here! Aaaaaah!

* Inspired by the author's habit of watching all kinds of dating shows. One day, I got tired of them and wondered if there could be something more thrilling, with the male and female contestants dealing with supernatural horrors while scheming against each other, competing, and putting on a big show, hahaha.
* A self-indulgent story, set in a fictional world! Don't expect logic, and don't take it too seriously.
* I'm not sure how much horror readers can handle, or whether this will be very scary. Maybe it'll turn out not scary at all? For now, let's call it mildly spooky.
There's a sweet romance, and the male lead is devoted to the female lead alone. The male lead's identity is kept secret at first.
