The Queen in Red Gao Ling and the others had long enforced a strict rule in their group: no one was allowed to post anything about the red-clothed woman on the public forum. Everyone knew the unspoken reason, and they all obeyed. —Until two clueless idiots inexplicably shattered that silent agreement. Gao Ling stared at…

The Writer and the Cat Ever since that incident, Yuan Yuanyuan had become more cautious during meetings, always alert for another ambush. If she could infiltrate the enemy as a spy, then naturally, the enemy could do the same to them. It was only fair—like that mirror demon from earlier. A game of spies on…

The One in Red Lately, there were so many comments online praising the woman in red that Yuan Yuanyuan almost forgot she was, well, a pitiful nobody. But reality quickly brought her back to her senses. After all, the one being adored online was the woman in red—not Yuan… even though they were technically the…

Yuan Yuanyuan quickly turned her head in a moment of desperate wit. She didn’t turn back until after everyone had left. “It’s okay now. Thank goodness you weren’t exposed,” the boss lady let out a long sigh of relief. “…I wouldn’t be so sure,” Yuan Yuanyuan said. She was still thinking about that strange gust…

Sneaking into the boss lady’s boudoir at night didn’t mean Yuan Yuanyuan had some kind of special kink—it was simply to gather information on whether the exorcists had contacted the boss lady recently.

Yuan Yuanyuan got home, stripped off her clothes, and collapsed comfortably onto her bed, ready to take a well-earned nap. She’d gone through way too much that evening—so much that she was struggling to process it all. If she hadn’t caught a glimpse of that girl just before leaving, she might’ve completely forgotten about her.…

Gao Ling kept glancing up, then back down. One moment, she was trying to convince herself not to overthink it; the next, she wanted to slam her head against the wall. In just ten minutes, Gao Ling had experienced a whirlwind of emotional rollercoasters. Yuan Yuanyuan had basically tripped into a trap she’d never expected.…

Gao Ling looked up at the figure inside the paper lantern, unaware that the person inside was just as bewildered as she was. Yuan Yuanyuan had just heard some things from the proprietress and, after piecing it together, arrived at a rather terrifying conclusion. Only then did the scenes inside the tavern start playing back…

Yuan Yuanyuan walked in, glancing around with a lingering sense of fear. She quickly shut the door and blew out the candles in the room—but even the lamp turned out to be some sort of antique: an ornately carved lantern, with the candle sealed inside. Afraid she might break it too, Yuan Yuanyuan decided to…
