How Could a Ghost Movie Not Be Scary?

Yue Qinghuai is a famous horror-film screenwriter and director.

Not only is his family so wealthy that people say he could rival a nation, he is also devastatingly handsome.

For someone like him, becoming famous was never going to be difficult.

Besides, the horror films he made also gave his fame a powerful boost.

Director Yue has money to burn. He funds all his films himself, with top-notch costumes, makeup, props, and crew. He even hires acting coaches to help the cast hone their skills. These are undeniably big-budget productions, made with no expense spared.

Yet the finished films are about as frightening as old ghost stories that couldn't make a three-year-old cry. Even Director Yue's most devoted fans watch them and sincerely exclaim:

"He's got money to burn."

But Director Yue just keeps bouncing back, only to fail again, then fighting on after every defeat. At last, netizens bestowed this title on him:

"A legend among pretty faces, a joke among directors."

Yue Qinghuai thinks modern netizens really have no taste.

As the dignified Ghost King of a thousand years, how could he not know what makes a horror film scary?

Besides, he showed his films to his underlings, and even the ghosts said they were terrifying! How could anyone possibly call them comedies or martial arts films?!

He was determined to write a screenplay and wipe away the shame once and for all!

Who could have guessed that while he was home alone, halfway through writing his new screenplay, someone would violently break down his door? The man in front wore a familiar uniform. Tall, long-legged, and cold-faced, he ordered the people beside him, "Set up the formation. Take him away."

Yue Qinghuai: "..."

Wait, what is going on here?

He hadn't broken any laws, committed any crimes, or caused trouble in the human world. So why had someone suddenly come to arrest him without so much as an explanation?

Were they going to torture him for a confession, too?

Yue Qinghuai was horrified:

Had his horror films come to life?
