Meet Dawn 😐🖤 🔗😈🧠 and Faye 😋🎀 🌸💥🧠 The human versions of caffeinated raccoons with poor impulse control. Currently monetizing a haunted apartment. Most people run from haunted apartments. Dawn and Faye moved in on purpose. After getting evicted (for reasons that may or may not involve a séance, a fire alarm, and a oujia board), the twins find the perfect place: Room 404, Marlow Apartments. It has a certain reputation... Tenants don't stay. Lights flicker. Walls bleed. Something whispers at exactly 3:17 a.m. The ghosts expect screaming. Panic. Maybe tears. What they get instead is a camera in their face and: "Wait-can you do that again but slower? The lighting was bad." Within days, the haunting is no longer a tragedy. It's content. And when Dawn and Faye launch Ghost Hunters Inc., a paranormal investigation channel that treats actual spirits like mildly inconvenient coworkers, things spiral out of control faster than anyone-living or dead-can handle. Viewer discretion is advised. Not because of the ghosts. But because of the chaotic twins who are determined to turn everything into content and monetization. Could you handle them?

For 7 years, Li Meiyu worked in near isolation. Then came the summons to the imperial Tiān Què Palace, a failed mechanical design, and a conspiracy buried in its foundation. Forced to investigate alongside Feng XuRen, a palace guard whose charm and confidence unravel her carefully built walls, Meiyu soon finds herself traveling through a crumbling kingdom where every village reveals new horrors and every night in close quarters makes the lines between pretense and reality blur. What begins as a search for an empire's downfall conspiracy becomes something far more dangerous: two lonely people learning that brilliance isn't the same as being whole, that competence isn't the same as being loved, and that the most foolish desire of all might be the one worth risking everything for. A historical fantasy of mystery, slow-burn romance, set in ancient china inspired backdrop and the journey toward becoming someone who believes they deserve all that they desire. Perfect for fans of: The Poppy War (political intrigue) • Game of thrones • The last Kingdom • The KingTo Sleep in a Sea of Stars (character-driven mystery) • The last kindgom • Slow burn historical C-dramas • Competent heroines and patient heroes ✨ Author's note Why I am Writing This: This story is for everyone who learned to make themselves smaller, quieter, less. Meiyu's journey is about unlearning that lie-and finding someone who never needed her to shrink in the first place. Anonymous author | Slow burn enthusiast | Here for the yearning
