Yu Bai, a street literature writer seeking inspiration, deliberately rented an apartment in a notoriously haunted neighborhood in the city. He gradually discovered his next-door neighbor was quite peculiar.
So he knocked on his neighbor's door and politely asked, "Are you human?"
The man behind the door, Xie Wu Fang, his expression shifting, desperately recalled the relevant guidance from "The Human Life Guide." Finally, he feigned composure and nodded.
Receiving the answer, Yu Bai calmly turned and left.
Good, definitely not human.
A week later, plagued by the situation, Yu Bai knocked on the strange neighbor's door again, maintaining his remaining restraint. "Can you move out of here?"
Xie Wu Fang had memorized the guide by heart. He smiled, displaying just the right amount of friendliness. "Sorry, is something bothering you?"
Yu Bai gave a wry smile. "The man next door keeps banging on his drums with bones, and the little girl downstairs climbs out of the water pipe at night to ask me for help with her homework."
Xie Wu Fang didn't find anything unusual and enthusiastically offered advice.
"That's a nuisance. You should call the police."
Yu Bai finally couldn't take it anymore. He leaned forward, grabbed the mysterious neighbor's collar, and said word by word, "Stop, pretending."
"Either restore everything around here to normal."
"Or get out."
But what he didn't know was that the mysterious neighbor had been diligently controlling his power. It was just that the ordinary humans around him were too fragile. Even a slight leakage of divine power would cause bizarre transformations.
And at this moment, Xie Wu Fang, who was experiencing close contact with a human for the first time, was distracted by the fearless threat before him.
It turns out that human skin has such a temperature..
--In that moment of distraction, a bigger accident occurred.

After barely surviving an attempt on her life, alchemy student Ariel investigates her new supernatural roommates as possible suspects. Nothing can prepare her for the secrets she is about to uncover about her own family-or her infuriating demon roommate's constant attempts to get under her skin.
Season 1 of The Wicked Series
***
Ariel is no stranger to bad luck. Life has been an uphill battle with an estranged father and a stepbrother who hates her. Studying alchemy feels like a dream come true, at least until Ariel suspects one of her new supernatural roommates might be trying to kill her. Refusing to be an easy target, she uses her alchemy skills to protect herself and dives headfirst into her own investigation.
When unsettling truths about Ariel's family and the world she lives in come to light, she realizes that those she suspects most might be her best allies. None of her newfound friends are quite what they seem-especially Haze. A demon of sloth should not be this hard to avoid, yet Haze defies all expectations, making it increasingly difficult for Ariel to deny the growing attraction between them. Still, the closer Ariel gets to finding out the truth, the more she fears her trust may have been misplaced.
