Synopsis
The hearse with the weird odor slowed to a stop before the entrance. The sound of pebbles could be heard bouncing on the ceiling. There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and there seemed to be someone sawing next door. The door knob to the room rattled slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping even though it had been screwed shut. There was a rubber ball that rolled on its own underneath the bed. Wet footsteps started to surface one after another on the floor. At 3 am, Chen Ge held a cleaver in his hand as he hid beside the room heater. The call he was trying to make was finally answered. "Landlord, is this what you meant by 'the house can be a little crowded at night'‽"

Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

Isolation is a common theme. In many such stories, the characters are alone in the haunted house, cut off from the outside world. This makes them more vulnerable to the terrors within. For example, in 'The Shining', the family is snowed in at the haunted hotel, enhancing their sense of isolation and fear.

There's also 'The Tell - Tale Heart'. While not strictly a haunted house story in the traditional sense, the events take place in a house. The narrator is driven mad by an old man's 'evil eye' and kills him. He then hides the body under the floorboards. But he is haunted by the sound of the old man's heart still beating, which adds a terrifying psychological horror element to the house setting.

warm-blooded animal

Four years ago, he was a talented ice skating youth and the most anticipated best defender in the football world, God Jan. He was a genius racer who had appeared out of nowhere two years ago, and the Qin God who had excellent strength in the sports circle. That year, he was not even 18 years old. That year, he was not even 20 years old. In the past, he never smiled. In the past, when he faced reporters, he always smiled and welcomed them. He was neither servile nor overbearing on the day he gave up the ice ball, and he was silent on the day he left the track. From then on, the ice rink lost its high-spirited youth, and the track lost its leader who flew against the wind. What kind of existence was he? She was a natural beauty who was surrounded by the opposite sex. She was always so mysterious. When he met her, there were many misunderstandings. "Do I still have a chance to get to know you again?" he asked. She looked at him coldly." I accept your apology, so let's stop here." He had fallen in love with her, and he had never left her when they were in love. "I'm fine," he said lightly. She denied," No, you're not good." He was so angry that he laughed." Why can't the little girl see me getting better?" Her beautiful eyes seemed to be able to speak." Race again. I know it has always been your dream." He was so lucky that she had created many opportunities for him and given him courage that he had never had before. She always said," You're my confidence!" This was the story of youth and dreams, competition and silence, defeat and growth. No one could stand at the top forever, no one could retreat unscathed, no one was omnipotent, but one had to have a clear conscience. Humans were warm-blooded animals, but they did the most hot-blooded things!
