He Came Home After His Brother Died

Shu Li’s older brother died, and she wept for three days at his funeral. Before his portrait, she made a wish: that her brother, who had died a gruesome death, would find happiness. Seven days later, she heard three familiar taps on the back of a hand. Someone was knocking at her door, using the habit her brother had had in life. She opened the door in terror. Her brother stood there, drenched from head to toe, his face pale and skin cold, a gentle smile on his lips. “Sorry. I lost my memory, so it took me a while to find my way home.” The talisman she kept for self-defense spontaneously burst into flames. Trembling all over, she was pulled into his embrace, feeling his icy breath brush her neck like a snake’s tongue. “So, am I your family?” The good news was that her brother had come back. The bad news was that he seemed to have become... a monster she didn’t recognize. Before you read: 1: They are not related by blood. The older brother is nonhuman, without morals or mercy, and rather humanlike in appearance, but his thought process cannot be understood from an ordinary person’s perspective. 2: This is a kink-driven romance with multiple endings and separate routes for both male leads. At its core, it’s a love story wearing a horror-story skin. 3: Includes obsessive, oppressive depictions of intense love, as well as a chase where I pursue you and, once I catch you, kill you. Please decide for yourself whether you’re comfortable with that. 4: Thank you for opening my story. Mwah. (Blurb screenshotted on 2026.5.27) Here’s a new upcoming novel in the same genre!

You moved into an apartment with ridiculously low rent. The landlord was a golden-haired man with different-colored eyes, wearing a hood and looking like he was cosplaying. Before leaving, he warned you not to disturb the neighbors. But your new neighbors seemed “curious” about you. The first neighbor was a great cook with a gentle, pleasant voice. He invited you over for octopus sashimi that, supposedly, did backflips after you ate it. You happily accepted. The second neighbor was a muscular, masked man who was always carrying a huge, paint-splattered chainsaw. He was a nuisance, but at night he would follow you and keep you company on your walks home. You were deeply touched. The third neighbor was a spotless, white-coated doctor with an extreme aversion to dirt. He despised you, but seemed to suffer from severe dissociative identity disorder. His second personality was always blushing and pleading with you, lovesick, to stay by his side. You felt sorry for him. … Your responses only made them more obsessed. Unable to bear the weight of their love, you decided to leave the apartment. But as you were getting ready to go, you saw the landlord, who seemed to be haunted by ghosts. “…” You abandoned them.
