Summary
After getting lost in Ghost City, Xie Lian bargains away years of servitude to the Gambler’s Den to help a man in need. He dons the robes of a worker and hides his face and life behind an enchanted mask, protecting himself from the city's denizens. Xie Lian finds an unexpected home in Ghost City before he ever sees the lord of it, the infamous Hua Cheng. When he finally does, something about himself seems to catch the attention of the Ghost King, slowly striking up an unusual friendship. Xie Lian must figure out how to navigate his burgeoning feelings, how to keep his identity to himself, and how to get over a ghost so clearly in love with someone else.

Summary
Once, not so long ago, there was a little house on a little hill in a little town nestled quietly in a not-so-little wilderness. The little house had stood there for quite some time, but the front had recently been renovated into a shop.
Inside the house, past the shop, and in the rear kitchen sat a young boy poring over a large ledger that lay open on the big kitchen table. A luminous being hovered by his shoulder, looking on as the boy wrote down careful numbers in each of the columns.
Or: that one where Shen Yuan gets transmigrated into the NPC Fairy Helper (and con artist), Shen Qingqiu, in an indie Item Shop sim and has to engineer a new ending that doesn’t end with him getting his wings ripped off. Meanwhile, young Luo Binghe -budding shopkeep, unwitting scam victim, and the titular character of ‘Luo Binghe’s Little Shoppe of Curiosities’- has a new best friend and he can’t WAIT to see what mysterious adventures await them!

Summary
“What do you say? Are you in?”
A brief moment passed as Dudley looked down at the mug of tea- and then, smile widening, he looked up. “Yeah. Yeah, I am.”
A small hand met a large one, and Harry and Dudley shook hands for the second time. Harry felt the same swooping excitement he’d felt when he’d handed off the money to Fred and George for their joke shop. This might be a disaster, but it would most certainly be interesting.
“I hope you like Indian!” A clatter on the steps, and Hermione entered the kitchen. She frowned, looking between them. “Is there something going on?”
“Dudley’s moving in,” said Harry. “Did you get samosas?”
