Psychological
Jinhua
After fifteen years of marriage, Meng Ye had taken a mistress-a flamboyant young woman he kept on the side.
Cradling her pregnant belly, she stormed into my presence to demand a formal title.
“You’re a fading beauty with one foot in the grave, and you haven’t even produced a son to see you off. What right do you have to cling to the position of Madam?”
Amused, I looked past her at Meng Ye and asked, “Well? You tell her. What right do I have?”
He didn’t dare answer. He knew that if I, a Tiger Woman of a General’s Family, ever lost my temper, his little girl wouldn’t even dare to cry out loud.
No Regrets
After my sister was widowed, she applied for a new Beastman partner.
As fate would have it, she was matched with my husband’s twin brother.
Upon learning this, Jiang Xu held me in a daze, his eyes wide open the entire night. I, too, suffered a rare bout of insomnia.
It wasn’t until the early hours of the morning that I heard him finally lose his resolve.
He slipped outside to make a quiet phone call to his brother.
“Ah Chi, I really don’t want to spend my whole life missing out on her.”
“Just help me this once.” “Don’t worry, Wen Ning is dim-witted; she’ll never realize you’re pretending to be me.”
“Remember? She already mistook us for each other once before.”
“Wen Lin hasn’t met you yet either, so even if I take your place for a few days, she won’t notice.”
“I’m begging you, just for a week. One week is all I need. I just don’t want to live with any regrets…”
He kept pleading until the sun began to rise.
Only then did Jiang Chi finally agree to pose as his brother to stay with me. At that moment, Jiang Xu and I both breathed a sigh of relief.
He never knew. In truth, I was just like him. I, too, harbored the regret of an unrequited love.
Call from Time and Space
In the dead of night, I received a phone call. The caller ID showed it was my husband. With a voice of utmost gravity, he told me that I would die at two o’clock in the morning.
But right now, he was clearly lying right beside me, fast asleep.
Submission
Because of a bet, Jing Shaochuan lost me to his twin brother.
I acted as if I knew nothing and spent a night of reckless entanglement with his brother.
The next day, I blushed and asked Jing Shaochuan to buy some ointment for me.
“Where are you feeling unwell?” He frowned slightly, his voice deep and cold.
I murmured softly, “You were too rough last night. You hurt me.”
Jing Shaochuan froze visibly.
I took a step forward, hugging him gently and intentionally acting sweet and spoiled.
“But, you were so different last night compared to how you usually are… I really liked it, though.”
The Uncanny Valley Effect
Do you know about the Uncanny Valley Effect?
This sense of dread originates from ancient times.
Back then, our ancestors had already seen these things! They appear similar to humans, yet are distinctly different.
Today, they hide within modern society.
They might even be our family and friends.
The question is, how do we tell them apart…?
The Beginning and End of Siri Killing
I was about to hide my boyfriend’s body in the refrigerator.
Then Siri on his phone suddenly spoke.
“The refrigerator is not the optimal location for concealing a corpse.”
I stared at the phone on the floor in terror, a chill running through my entire body.
“A better location for corpse concealment has been detected. Would you like to proceed?”
Siri continued. As if possessed, I asked, “Where?” “The basement. The entrance is inside the wardrobe in the master bedroom.”
Half-doubting it, I followed Siri’s instructions and actually found the basement.
It really was the perfect place to hide a body. Because inside, I found several more corpses…
Crossing the Yin
Have you ever heard of Crossing the Yin?
They say that when a woman undergoes Crossing the Yin, half her body has already stepped into the Yin Realm.
She has to stay in the same room as a dozen burly men, all night long, until dawn.
Only then can she snatch her life back from the hands of the Yin beings.
I had always scoffed at rumors like that.
Until one day, my beloved little niece underwent Crossing the Yin too.
But she was only six years old!
Blind Man Murder Case: All Beings Are Equal
I used brutal methods to murder ten innocent residents, then found a blind man with an unbearably tragic past to take the fall.
In the interrogation room, the police officer asked me, “Are you even human?” Human? Of course I wasn’t human. I was a god.
Gray
After we made love that night, I drifted off to sleep.
My husband, who never liked saying sweet words, suddenly said: “Honey, I love you.”
I opened my eyes.
That tone was all too familiar.
It was exactly the tone he used when he’d done something guilty.
Send Me a Flower in the Spring Breeze
I followed an underworld Big Brother for six years.
But on my birthday, he brought home a girl.
He was covered in blood, and the pretty, delicate girl was hiding in his arms.
From then on, the man who had indulged my every whim never looked at me again.
Everyone thought I loved Xu Chang but could never have him, and that I was heartbroken beyond words.
I only smiled and toyed with the watch on my wrist.
I was an undercover police officer planted inside Huaxi’s largest criminal gang.
I’d stayed by his side all these years for one reason: to treat him to a taste of prison food. So how could I possibly… fall in love with him?
