Murders
Scapegoat
A year ago, on a whim, I told my wife a story.
Because the content was bizarre and the details were too realistic, she was scared out of her wits.
Afterwards, I deeply regretted it and emphasized countless times that the story was made up. But her trust in me had already collapsed, and the look in her eyes was filled with fear.
That night, she ran into the bathroom, locked the door, and called the police.
As a result, I ended up in jail.
Now, I am sorting out the whole incident as follows.
The Eleventh Step at Dawn
At one o’clock in the morning, I counted the Eleventh Step on the western staircase of my office building.
Resting on that single step was a white sneaker, its laces tied into the same blue dead knot my missing best friend always used.
Five years ago, a woman had died in this building.
Now, the security guard who holds the elevator for me every day looked up and flashed a smile.
“Miss Tang, you shouldn’t go around counting stairs.”
The Night I Collected My Husband’s Corpse, I Saw My Own Face in the Coffin
The night I went to collect Prince Jing’s corpse, I saw my own jade bracelet and sleeping robe inside the coffin. My husband, returned from the dead, choked me and said, “Lanyin, die once in my place.”
When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to three months ago. This time, I will be the one collecting their corpses first.
The Portrait That Locks Souls
I paint faces for the dead and open The Door for the living.
After the Prime Minister’s Daughter met a sudden, violent end, I painted the last thing she ever saw.
Three months later, that very face smiled at me from a crowded street.
Later, when the Grand Princess lay within her coffin, she reached out and gripped my brush. “Don’t paint me,” she whispered. “Paint yourself.”
Quirks
[Horror Romance + damp, unhinged, obsessive male leads with lots of strange quirks + dark otome vibe]
When Qiu Rongrong met Zhou Jingxing, she thought she could start over. Later, she realized it had only been an illusion.
The gentle “older brother” tore off his disguise and revealed his cruelty. The boy at school who always seemed to protect her turned out to be the one driving the violence. The murderer’s son took her hand and said he would save her-help her escape.
They all said she should atone.
But in this grand, feverish revel, she was the only innocent survivor.
She tried to claw her way out of the mire, to struggle up onto solid ground-only for them to drag her back down into the mud.
Her beginning with him started with deception.
“Remember what fear tastes like. I don’t just want you dead-I want you to die in agony.”
Her ending with him finally came from sincerity.
“Love is the most twisted form of revenge. If you hate me, then use love as your blade-drive it straight into my heart.”
Skeleton Mystery
At the Dong Manor’s night banquet, the beautiful Singing Girl transformed into a Pink Skeleton.
The next day, I entered the manor to interrogate, but everyone gave the same answer: they saw nothing.
What was even more outrageous-
The coroner’s examination revealed that the skeleton was a man!
After My Ex-Boyfriend Died, He Left Me One Billion and a Killer
After my ex-boyfriend, Gu Yanzhou, died, his will specifically named me as the one who had to read it aloud. He left me one billion in equity, three video recordings, and a final message: “Don’t be so quick to hate me. Among the people sitting across from you tonight, there is one who killed me-and your brother.”
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.
The Ashtray
[Light Horror + Infidelity + Plot Twists] A beautiful Southern Girl, a knock on the door in the middle of the night, a silent delivery driver, someone crouching under the bed… Qin Song’s life descended into an inescapable hell because of an extramarital affair.
Wife Sacrifice
I’m a washed-up, eighteenth-tier starlet who spent three years playing the submissive role just to marry into the Jiang Family, the wealthiest clan in the Beijing circle.
My three-hundred-million-yuan ‘wedding of the century’ to Jiang Yuan, the family’s only son, instantly shot to the top of the trending searches.
However, a big shot from the metaphysics circle claimed I had the face of a concubine.
The livestream chat exploded immediately:
“That’s hilarious. It’s the year 3202-who still becomes a concubine?”
“Is it possible they don’t mean a concubine, but a mistress?”
My expression darkened. I joined the livestream and pulled out my marriage certificate for everyone to see.
To my surprise, the master simply said:
“Among the living, you are indeed the primary wife.
“But if we’re counting the dead… well, that’s a different story.”
