Cloudy days were like a crumbling, besieged city, and within that city, a torrential rain had begun to fall. The endless waves were about to swallow my heart. In this profound and beautiful illusion, ...

The weather stayed clear for several days after that. Yin Xigui holed up in the house and refused to go anywhere. Like a cat basking in the sun, he spent each day sprawled on the sofa with those finan...

The elderly residents of the nursing home wore childlike, innocent smiles. Their faces were lined with wrinkles, yet they seemed happier than Xiao Die. BR Group chairwoman Su Yue's car was parked in a...

My mother looked from me, to Victor, to my bag in Victor's hand, and back to me. For a long moment her mouth worked without sound. Then she cleared her throat, and the smile she'd been restraining esc...

There were no lights in the stairwell. When Fang Runing stepped onto the first stair, something thick coated the sole of her foot—neither quite liquid nor solid, carrying a sharp, bloody reek. She did...

Ding Peichen had barely walked beyond the campus gates when Guan Heng sent a message: “I’m here. Where are you?” He shared his location and waited beneath a crooked locust tree. In truth, he did not p...

As soon as class ended, Ding Peichen hurried to the back street to collect his order. The new doll sat in an elegant box at the front counter. He opened it for a look. It was human-sized, with movable...

At two in the morning, Ding Peichen suddenly woke. A bone-deep cold seeped through his thin pajamas from behind, as though something were pressed tightly against his back. He froze and instinctively h...
