Dead Broke Chapter 3
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…-

Dead Broke Chapter 2
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…-

Dead Broke Chapter 1
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,…-

Dead Broke
All my life I built a legendary reputation, but after death, not a single sheet of came my way. After slaving away in the for a whole year, I finally scraped together all my ghostly wages just to buy a chance to send myself into someone’s dream. But here’s the catch it only let me choose my worst enemy from when I was alive. -
He left me an address. Told me to wait there. A cabin in a forest valley. Sparse. A bed, a table. The faint smell of pine. On the table, roses. Black roses. Dark, velvety, rich as spilled wine. They reminded me of him when I first saw him: a black rose in Armani, sharp-featured, languid, with women fluttering around him. A cream card lay among them, his handwriting:"To my little jasmine." Pinned beneath was a note in the flower shop girl’s hand:"I saw you on the news. Was she the one you…-

Another year passed. In that year, Zhao Yichen burned every hour, every heartbeat, feeding evidence to police, fueling investigations, stoking fire. The system resisted. Zhuxin’s networks ran deep. Arrests mounted. Scandals broke. But power still rooted itself. And one shadow lingered: Wang Yue. Wang Sheng’s cousin. Declared missing. No report ever found him. Yichen never spoke of it. Silence was its own confession. Then came the day Wang Sheng, shielded by bribes and influence, walked…

Not all grief is loud. Yichen’s grief was sharp and lucid, the kind that slices open quietly over years. At first, after my death, I told myself I’d stay beside him for a while, then let go. I thought if I watched him throw himself into workninto his new company I could leave content, knowing he’d survive. But every night I drifted above him, I saw the truth. His insomnia. The pills beside his pillow. His chest clenched with pain as if it would tear itself free. His life didn’t continue.…

The next day, I waited at the cemetery. From sunlight into dusk, and from dusk into the bruised silence of night. He didn’t come. Rain fell hard, lightning tearing the sky apart. Of course he wouldn’t risk driving out in weather like this. But then he came. Out of the storm’s curtain, Zhao Yichen emerged. Wrapped in a black raincoat, carrying a black umbrella, he looked like a shadow among shadows. But in his hands was a pure bouquet of white jasmine. Though he had never set foot here…

Sleepwalking Into You Chapter 6
I flinched. Damn. Forgot the mark would show. "Uh… hit the rail by accident." I tugged my sleeve down fast, avoiding his gaze. But his hand slammed firm on my shoulder, pinning me back against the chair. His teeth clenched audibly. "You tied yourself up," he spat. "Just so you wouldn’t sleep near me? You hate sharing a bed with me that much?" Caught in his hold, I stopped struggling. My chest rose in uneven breaths. "Or maybe....." My voice snapped, bitter. "Maybe you’re the one who…-

Sleepwalking Into You Chapter 5
At barbecue, the four of us crowded around sizzling plates. Meat fried, skewers smoked, beer bottles clinked. Then Wang Hao pointed at the menu. "Who ordered this kid’s milk drink? Who’s that for?" "You," I teased. But Zhou Yichen’s eyes locked straight on me. "No. It’s for him." His tone? Dead serious. "Huh?" Hao nearly slid out of his chair laughing. Chen Ming slapped the table. "Bro. You forgot? You’re a one-drink wonder." "One what?" They howled harder. Hao…-
