Original Blurb

[Childhood Friends | Truly Deranged Ghost | Summoning Spirits | Serial Case (Mild Horror) | Mild Coercion]

Hua Manyin has felt that something is wrong lately.

A cold gaze always seems to cling to her. Things in her home inexplicably change places, and late at night, she often hears a second person's breathing beside her.

Sometimes, when she opens her phone, there's an extra recording with a man's voice.

Her reflection looks paler and paler, and she often feels inexplicably tired.

What chills her most is that whenever she tries to start a new life, a human bite mark appears on her ear.

It's not a mouse in the house.

She's definitely being haunted!

Hua Manyin knows she's different from ordinary people.

She can see the dead, use her special ability to communicate with their souls and guide them into reincarnation, and has done many good deeds.

But in the end, she made an exception for selfish reasons and summoned back her deceased ex-boyfriend, Lu Fansheng.

She never expected his spirit to become attached to her.

P.S. SC, amnesiac and deranged male lead, HE.

They push and pull at each other. The heroine is cool and innocent; the hero is tall and imposing, with a height difference of 168 x 195.

The hero is half a year younger than the heroine and is genuinely dead. Before losing his memory, he was gentle; afterward, he became completely deranged. Now his spirit is clinging to the heroine, in a semi-coercive romance, with a groveling pursuit after she leaves. Warning: the heroine loses her memory.

The leads were childhood friends and grew up together.

The heroine is loved by everyone, and she has multiple secret identities.

The setting is fictional. I made it all up.

Pre-order: The Neighbor's Mad Dog

first

When she was young, Sang He hated the boy next door more than anyone.

His face was disfigured, his drunkard father abused him, and he often crouched by the door, begging for sympathy.

Whenever Sang He passed by, she would mock him.

Until her mother found him and adopted him.

That filthy, ugly boy became Sang He's little brother.

Sang He hated him. She secretly threw away his clothes, forced him to wear little skirts, and even hit him in the face.

Fortunately, her little brother was withdrawn and never complained.

He only secretly rummaged through her clothes and buried his face in them to smell her scent.

He even tattooed her name on his lower abdomen, then spent the nights calling her name over and over while gazing at her clothes.

Sang He thought he really was pathetic, just like a dog.

Until the day she came home and saw her little brother standing by the door, covered in blood. His drunkard father lay on the ground nearby.

Terrified, Sang He turned and ran.

second

Later, Sang He moved to another city.

Her new neighbor was handsome. He often helped fix her broken things, and even chased away the ex-boyfriend who showed up to threaten her.

It was only natural that Sang He got into a relationship with him.

He always liked to make love to her in the dark, clinging to her like a dog and refusing to let go, but he never showed her his whole body.

Sang He assumed it was his kink, and happened to like it herself.

They got married and lived happily together.

On their wedding night, a flash of lightning revealed the tattoo on her husband's abdomen.

It was her name.

Her gentle, considerate husband was the little brother she had tormented day after day.

third

Jiang Yexiao would never forget one girl for as long as he lived.

Under the oppression of his drunkard father, he had almost lost all hope of living.

The girl next door was bright and beautiful. Whenever she passed by as he was being kicked out of his home, she would always make a few cutting remarks.

"Kicked out again? Don't you dare die on my doorstep," the girl said with disgust.

Then a piece of bread landed at his feet.

Later, he became her little brother and developed feelings for her that he shouldn't have. He even got caught doing something bad once.

Fortunately, she was so proud that she could never guess the filthy thoughts of someone trapped in the mire.

She thought his behavior was just what a domesticated dog would do.

But how could that ever be enough for him?

He followed her scent, used his handsome, recovered face to deceive her into marrying him.

But why did she have to run away?

Jiang Yexiao thought he had to bring his big sister back.

She wasn't his sister anymore. She was his wife, his everything.
