Wang Quan’s true consultant wasn’t the fraud; they had hidden an actual sorcerer, capable of splitting souls. The plan became clear: to rip Wang Li’s soul apart, make him a wandering wraith, then implant it into my body instead. Success meant Wang Li wore my flesh. Failures meant not just his end but annihilation. It was madness. Filial devotion turned to inhuman cruelty. And if they succeeded, I would vanish. Soul shredded, unheard. In the chamber, Wang Li staggered, pouring fresh…-

Later, riding in tense silence, I curled on the passenger seat, eyes half closed, my brain a knot of yarn.Jiang drove steadily, but the subtle tremor in his hands betrayed his turbulent heart. I knew he wanted to speak, but I couldn’t. My thoughts spun. Juno said he liked me. Said Jiang liked me. Said I liked Jiang.Three bombs in one hour. My tiny feline skull felt ready to explode.The only sound was the hum of tires along asphalt. Finally, Jiang slowed, pulled the car to the roadside, engine…

Before I could burst out with my usual arsenal of curses, Jiang Yuyan clamped his hand firmly over my cat-mouth, muffling me."Not a word," he warned coldly. Then, bang, he kicked Lu Wei backward with one sharp motion. "You heard wrong." But Lu Wei was a brute-coward hybrid. Instead of retreating, he scrambled forward like some oversized crab, dragging his knees until he planted himself right back at Jiang’s shoes. Jiang glanced down, cold annoyance thunder clouding his face.Meanwhile, Lu Wei’s…

They say once you die, nothing shocks you anymore. They lied. Getting used to feline anatomy was hell. My motions grew smoother with time, each spring, each curl of the back more natural. I could even sashay across the room with the grace of an alley king. But the back end? Those sad, sagging, empty bells? Every time I caught sight of them, my spirit wilted. Still, if I didn't look back, I could almost pretend I was still all man on the inside. To protest Jiang’s choice, I went a full thirty…

A wave of burning seared through my forehead, and then total darkness swallowed me. "Welcome back." The familiar voice of the Netherworld receptionist echoed when I staggered back into the smokey Service Hall. My legs wobbled, drained. Had that really happened? I croaked, "Why didn't I get any of the money? Everyone burned so much for me, but none of it got through." The assistant, arms crossed, tilted her head. "There are many reasons. Maybe they spoke the wrong name when burning. Maybe…

One year in the Underworld felt like ten in the living world. But at last, through working countless underpaid, backbreaking jobs, I managed to save enough ghost coins for something life changing: a Dream-Visitation Service. At the counter of the Netherworld Dream Service Department, a chipper assistant with sharp red-streaked hair grinned while promoting their packages. "Dear customer, big sale today. We have the deluxe visitation for eighty-eight million, the premium for eight point eight million,…

The truth that it only happened when I was unconscious didn’t make it any less humiliating. Especially since every time I sleepwalked, I seemed to get bolder. Yesterday it had been nibbling his jawline. Today? His lips. What was I going to do if tomorrow my subconscious aimed even lower. I swallowed hard, guilt clawing through my chest. Carefully, I brushed my thumb against the tender cut at the corner of his mouth. "Does it hurt?" My voice came out embarrassingly soft. Zhou Yichen’s gaze…-

Warm breath brushed against the back of my ear, so hot it burned my skin and sent electric tingles down my scalp. I instinctively shrank back but quickly realized I couldn’t move my body was locked tightly in someone’s arms. Under my palm, I could feel the smooth, firm surface of muscle. My limbs might have still been heavy like stone from sleep, but my brain was wide awake now. I snapped my eyes open, and yep I’d sleepwalked again. Worse yet, I’d climbed into Zhou Yichen’s bed once…

Outside, our roommates argued lazily over video game ranks, their voices audible through the thin walls. But here inside this cramped space with Yichen’s arms bracketing me against the sink, breath ghosting warm against my skin it felt like a cage of heat and danger. Too close. Too intimate. My throat bobbed nervously before I forced a weak chuckle. "You’re imagining things. Brothers can help each other with this kind of stuff. It’s not weird." One brow arched. "Then why drag me in here?…
