[I killed someone.]
[I'm the only one who knows. If I don't tell anyone, no one will ever find out that I'm the murderer.]

Have you ever imagined the electric fan above you suddenly falling down?
Pei Yueyin has. She loves daydreaming, especially imagining frightening things happening.
To outsiders, she's a quiet, reserved girl. But the world inside her mind is always vivid and full of wonder.
The day her fate changed, Pei Yueyin was in P.E. class.
There were three large fans on the third floor of the gymnasium. Pei Yueyin lay on a yoga mat as the teachers told everyone to meditate.
Before closing her eyes, she saw the largest fan overhead, the one farthest from her. Its blades were bigger than her whole body.
She wondered, Could the fan suddenly fall down?
Bang. Crunch.
A sharp scream rang in her ears.
Pei Yueyin opened her eyes and saw the horrified expressions of her teachers and classmates, the fan spinning on the floor, and blood and mangled flesh.
From that day on, every frightening scene she'd imagined in her mind came true.
Pei Yueyin, who had suddenly become a murderer, spent several days at school in terror. Then another student died in a freak accident. She encountered two male ghosts in quick succession, and they started haunting her.
Ghost No. 1 is awful to her, sinister, malicious, and fond of scaring her, but surprisingly dependable. He protects her even as he insults and berates her.
Ghost No. 2 is very sweet to her, gentle, obedient, and easily embarrassed. He just loves clinging to her and hugging her, and seems suspiciously keen on taking advantage of her.
And yet she's the only one who can see or touch either of them!
Forced to bring them both home, she begins an unusual life with two ghosts. Who knew the two of them would follow her to school, follow her home, and even commandeer her bed at night?
Meanwhile, several more bizarre and inexplicable murders occur on campus, all seemingly connected to her...
Pei Yueyin: I just want to be normal. Why is that so hard?
Please note:
1. One female lead, two male leads, a human-ghost romance.
2. I looked it up, and ghosts count as nonhumans, so this is a nonhuman romance too 🥹
3. There's more to the female lead's ability than meets the eye. There's only so much room in the blurb, so read the story.
4. The main school plot involves people dying, and dying nonstop. The main cast investigates the truth behind the deaths.
5. Set at a private elite high school, with a very loose fictional setting. A spooky campus romance where the characters investigate cases, study, and fall in love! (Mostly romance, though.)
6. Since it's a three-person relationship, the horror elements are toned down, so don't worry about it being too scary. The author is determined to make this a romance that's both spooky and adorable!
