Synopsis

What goes around, comes around. 

When Zhou Xiwei was a child, that’s what his sister and his Song-ge would tell him, every time he was excluded or suffering. Normally, they’d say it right before getting vengeance on his behalf. It was a great comfort, to think of karma balancing things. The pain that he suffered was a deposit towards future happiness, and even the coldest world might one day turn beautiful. 

Then he grew up, and understood that karma wasn’t real. 

Then? Then a great many things happened. He nearly died. He saw a dead man come back to life. He watched a young woman be buried over a piece of cheap plastic tubing and the world itself reverse. 

He fell in love. 

What goes around, comes around.

It’s a promise and a curse. It’s the way of things, on the mysterious island where Zhou Xiwei washes up alongside the other members of an ill-fated yacht charter. Fog and secrets both shroud Uto, but he’s–

Enchanted? Can you really be enchanted in the middle of a ghost story? Is that even allowed? 

He’s sure that his favorite fairytales never covered that. But he’s also sure that Shan Haoyu is just too wonderful, and he can’t seem to let go, so… Enchanted he is. Enchanted and desperate to unwind the mystery before the body count rises so high that he can’t look at himself in the morning. 

As long as everyone’s good and decent, it should be fine! They can be happy! He’ll break the curse and bring his lover away and- And first he just needs to figure out what the curse is. And how to break it. And dammit, why are his fellow castaways committing crimes again?! How is he supposed to work in these conditions?!

Who says that a ghost story can’t have a happy end?

The story of a delicate MC and a cursed ML, falling into sweet love while stuck in the middle of a ghost story because they have no sense of time and place! A slightly strange romance in a tropical locale, featuring supportive siblings, disappointing pasts, and way too much philosophical musing on the nature of revenge.

    I am not going to lie, this is what made me say “I have to read this!”

    😆

    • Haha, I’m glad! I’m a sucker for horror that is interrupted by fluff, so I have to inflict my own bad taste on the world and try to get some converts. I hope that it’s everything that you hoped for (or that even if it isn’t, you find something you like here!) 🌺

  3. Oh look!! another book that I’m going to love more than anything, just like GTF which made me cry so many times in the best ways ever 😍🥹😍
