The two team up with an American archaeologist after they fall victim to a curse, and to release themselves from it they must seek clues found among ancient mythical sites across China.... more>>

The title is derived from an old Chinese saying, credited by the author to genuine grave robbers: “A human lights the candle and the ghosts blow it out.” According to the author, grave robbers would place a candle in the south-east corner of a tomb after entering, in an attempt to make contact with the dead. If the candle was extinguished it was a sign that the spirits within opposed the intrusion, and the robbers would be obliged to depart, leaving everything intact and undisturbed. <<less

She grew up in a funeral home, a place that had always been her world. At night, the fluorescent lights cast an even harsher pallor on the water-streaked floors. She sprinted down the long corridor, almost like she’d lost her mind.... more>>

The first door came into view. She pushed it open, flipped the switch—no light. In the pitch-black doorway lingered a faint but undeniable scent of blood. No one was inside. Just the fresh, iron tang of blood, disturbingly vivid.

The second door—no one. The third—still no one. Everyone was gone. Uncle Qi, who tended the boiler; the plump cleaning lady; even the ghosts who normally lurked everywhere—all of them had disappeared!

The funeral home, vast and built into the mountains, seemed to hold only her now. And that fresh, unshakable scent of blood.

At nineteen, Ban Xia felt fear for the first time in her life.

“Dad!” Her cry was sharp and shrill, cutting through the deathly pale light above her. The response she got was cold silence. Everyone was gone, including her father, the man who had been her sole companion for nineteen years.

A gust of chilling wind swept past her back, and the smell of blood grew stronger, more oppressive, creeping toward her through the shrouding darkness of night. She turned around.

From the distance came a sound. All she saw was a fleeting silhouette, pale like the moon, flitting down the end of the corridor before vanishing into the shadows with a soft “whoosh.” <<less

She starts assisting with the work of the hiks. <<less

Joon-wan, a renowned authority on Korean folk religion, embarked on a nighttime hike up Toryongsan Mountain. He was worried about his precious research materials getting swept away by the sudden downpour. As he reached his destination, a secluded cave, he encountered a strange phenomenon!... more>>

─Waaaaaaaargh!

A tremor shook the ground as if an earthquake had struck. Then, something emerged from the cave… Smooth, taut skin stretched over bones, a thick white ring around its head. Unbelievable as it seemed, no matter how he looked at it… it was a ■■■.

“A gi… giant… earthworm─!”

As Joon-wan cried out in shock, the enormous creature transformed into an earthworm and plopped into his hand. bbong!

Joon-wan descended the mountain feeling like he had been possessed, inexplicably carrying an earthworm. Strangely enough, he could touch the worm with his bare hands, and it inexplicably drew his attention. This was odd, considering his mild OCD(Obsessive-compulsive disorder) made him averse to even touching soil unless it was for research.

“Hey, earthworm, you are an earthworm, right? You’re not a dragon or something, are you?”

For some reason, he found himself talking to it. The earthworm, however, remained silent. Was it lonely? Was he, Joon-wan, going crazy from his own loneliness? But that night, something happened that truly made him question his sanity─.

“I never lower myself to converse with someone like you… but I’m desperate.”

A woman of unknown origin sat on his living room sofa, patiently waiting for him. With a grave expression, as if about to reveal a millennia-old secret, she began to speak.

“You must promise to keep this a secret. I… I am an Earth dragon.”

“An earth… worm?”

Had he been thinking about earthworms too much lately? He was hearing all sorts of nonsense. As Joon-wan scoffed in disbelief, the woman erupted in a terrifying roar.

“Earth worm?! If it weren’t for your interference, I would have ascended to the heavens as a true dragon!” <<less

Just as they begin to feel an indescribable affinity for one another, the two are dragged into strange paranormal phenomena as they secretly run about…

“It is surely fate!” the self-proclaimed urban legend says dreamily.

“I’ll admit it was a strange connection,” the boy declared, shrugging his shoulders bashfully.

Liu Yu woke up and discovered that she had transmigrated into the novel she read before she went to sleep.... more>>

Her future was bleak, her blood will be s**ked dry, and then she will be hung. Liu Yu weighed her options:

1. The Duke of Dark Night was already smitten by the beautiful and kind Cinderella.

2. Prince Carlos has been searching all over the world for the owner of the crystal shoe. She should give up on him.

3. Only the God of Light had yet to fall for her younger sister’s charms.

Liu Yu looked at the young man who just had his eyes gouged out because of the original owner of the body. He had lost his memory and was currently in a dire strait. Liu Yu used a high-pitched voice and said, “My God! How could someone do something so vicious to you?”

The helpless young man: “Are you the one who saved me?”

“Yes.”
