Village Spirit

Deep in the mountains lies a village where chrysanthemums bloom in all four seasons, and eerie tales have been passed down for generations. Shengyuan and Shengdong accept a classmate's invitation to visit Chrysanthemum Village for a trip. With their grandfather's permission, they step into this isolated village cut off from the outside world. At the village entrance stands a girl named Moju, her figure faint and ethereal. The villagers regard her as a malevolent village spirit, and everyone avoids her. One strange incident after another erupts, and talk of ghosts and gods runs rampant. Yet the traces left at every scene point everywhere to human hands. Rumors of an ancient tomb beneath the ground, the lingering shadow of fate that clings to the girl—layer upon layer of mist shrouds the entire sea of chrysanthemums. Behind the clamor of strange tales lies greed hidden in the shadows. The youths enter the game, and amid the mountain mist, they pursue the truth that has been covered up. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Village Spirit — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
