    Overtime Fairy: Ledger of Two Worlds

    2 ch · Modern

    Ruer, a thirty-two-year-old burnt-out office worker crushed by debt and overtime, awakens one rainy commute to a second sight: the ordinary city is also a xianxia fairy realm, its buses river-dragons, its towers jade mountains, its paperwork spirit contracts. At first the double vision makes her feel insane. But when she learns to harmonize fairy whim with modern structure, she unlocks small impossible abilities—one honest boundary, one rescued coworker, one debt renegotiated—each step pulling her toward a life she actually chose. To keep it, she must face the Hollow Auditor, a corporate spirit that feeds on burnout, and decide whether dreams are escape or architecture.

    The Ledger of the Hollow Throne

    5 ch · Action

    In the Hollow Throne, every imperial decree must exist in three sealed copies: palace, archive, and shrine. If the copies differ, the nearest clerk dies for treason. Bai Lihua, an eighteen-year-old fourth-rank archive clerk with perfect recall for every decree she has copied in blood, discovers a hidden fourth copy sealed inside a latrine wall. It is dated three weeks in the future, signed by a regency seal dead for sixty years, and names her as the clerk who will execute an imperial order. If she refuses to appear, her younger brother will be erased by attainder. Trapped inside the palace, unable to accuse anyone without a higher-rank sponsor, Lihua hunts illegal decrees through latrines, shrines, smoke vents, and forbidden offices, uncovering a parallel government of clerks that has ruled the empire from the walls for generations. Her dead mother was one of them. Her supervisor may be her enemy, her sponsor, or the only person trying to keep her alive. The pilot ends on execution day, when Lihua turns the court's own ritual into a public reading of the empire's hidden ledger.

    Debt of the Six Lanterns

    5 ch · Action

    In the walled monastic city of Tsun-Ji, failed civil-service candidate Yu Sansheng wakes to six glowing paper lanterns on his attic floor. A Bureau of Restitution official informs him that he has inherited his grandfather's old office: Lantern-Keeper, bearer of six ancestral debts owed to dead families wronged by his bloodline. If any lantern is extinguished, the debt is collected from his body, organ by organ, in the order the claimant chooses. Yu has no money, no martial skill, and thirty days before automatic collection begins; his only weapons are six years of failed exam study, the city's Restitution Code, and a talent for staying polite while terrified. Each chapter follows one negotiation with a wronged family or institution, revealing that one lantern's filing number is forged by the very Bureau enforcing the debt. The pilot ends when Yu discovers the false debt is not attached to him at all, but to the person he most needs to protect.

    The Duelist's Confession

    5 ch · Action

    At Saint-Vermeil Academy, every cadet wears a Steel Oath tattoo: lie or touch unlawfully, and the mark blackens into rot where everyone can see. Esme Calvier, a precise but overlooked second-year duelist, survives by night as V. Marrante, the anonymous ghostwriter behind the empire's most elegant dueling memoirs. When she draws Lucien Aubray in the semi-final bracket—the brilliant heir whose private memoir she wrote last winter—he begins visiting the records-balcony after midnight, quoting lines he should never know and forcing her to answer under the Oath. Esme cannot withdraw, cannot lie, and cannot let anyone audit the Marrante manuscripts locked inside the headmaster's office. Lucien's blackmail is not meant to make her lose. It is meant to make her win in public, so the empire will have to ask who she really is.

    Listening Station Yangtze

    5 ch · Action

    Late 1944, a Republican Chinese gunboat sits locked in the Yangtze estuary blockade, listening to enemy coast-watchers disguised as fishermen. Seventeen-year-old Lin Qiao, the ship’s only Wu-dialect intercept operator, decodes a kidnapping order naming Watch Officer Tang—the one officer required to co-sign her report. With the radio cabin locked from outside and unsigned decrypts treated as treason, Lin must decide who can be trusted before the transmission window closes. Each message tightens the trap: her senior operator Wei may be the leak, Tang may be walking into the kidnapping, and the only signal that can save him will expose the grandmother-cipher of Lin’s home village to military retaliation.

    The Tell-Tale Heart

    1 ch · Horror

    from Edgar Allan Poe

    A nervous narrator insists he is not mad, then tells how a pale, filmed 'vulture eye' drove him to stalk the kindly old man he lived with, night after night at midnight, until the eighth night ended in murder. With the body hidden beneath the floorboards, he welcomes three police officers with perfect calm, until a low, dull, quick sound begins to rise.
