Translation link: https://dogpotatotsl.wordpress.com/projects/filiul-main/ From jjwxc: http://www.jjwxc.net/onebook.php?novelid=4399594 I'm currently read arc 4. This is a controversial novel. Some justify that MC's actions are right, some disagree. I was debating with my feelings and mind when I read this novel. Feelings: he shouldn't do this, it's wrong. Mind: This is right in order to survive. Any spoilers? What're your thoughts on this?

Falling in Love Inside an Urban Legend Associated Names: 在都市怪谈里谈恋爱[快穿] Raw link: https://m.shubaow.net/123/123905/ MTL link: https://jpmtl.com/amp/books/3433/toc Synopsis: Question: What is it like to be romantically pursued by the main subject of a very conventional scary urban legend? Yao Ye, the only normal person inside a bizarre horror story: I am going crazy. When you go about your day as usual and suddenly find out that the guy who had a crush on you that you ignored has become a ghost lingering behind you late at night… When you suddenly find out that your patron is a monster in human skin… When you hear about a netizen committing suicide because of an online relationship breakup and suddenly find out that it was you who dumped him… When you get stranded on a deserted island and suddenly find out that your dead childhood friend has become a bandage-wearing weirdo hunting down intruders on the island… When you suddenly find out that your lover is not human. —It loves you to the bone, and you can’t escape it. In the end, their karma is inextricably tangled together. This is a story that turns an eerie urban legend into a romantic drama. Spoiler: Arc 1 Characters MC: Yao He, a doctor working at Gui Renai City Hospital and the ML's secret love turned lingering obsession after his death. ML: An Ling, the night guard responsible for the morgue with a burnt half mark on one half of his face and disability in his left leg. Born as a lone evil star and rumoured to have killed his mother due to his heavy karma. Burnt alive and returns as a Ghost king after death. Side characters: Head nurse, Yu Yi(the prettiest girl in the hospital prior to the fire that burnt down the hospital, turning it into an urban legend.), Purple-haired girl, hoodie, black cap, short girl, baseball cap, scrawny guy: 6 paranormal investigators (well, bloggers) who enter the ghost hospital to trap footage of the haunted(boost their popularity). The event takes place two years after the fire incident at the hospital. Malicious ghost of a junior high school girl: A gross looking female ghost who gets attached to MC while on his way back to his apartment building. Apparently, while committing suicide, she accidentally got entangled in wires and died a tragic death after a long time strangulation. She even makes a cameo appearance later on where our ML saves the MC and kills the ghost. Spoiler: The Legend Since ancient times, people have been unable to grasp those indescribable things called the “supernatural”. Time goes on, and in the age of the end of Dharma[1], the calendar year 2018, the supernatural was resurrected. The era of evil spirits running rampant in the world had come again. Without our knowledge, the eerie things described in ancient legend quietly infiltrated among us. At the very beginning, when they first appeared, all the governments on this blue star chose to conceal the truth to prevent panic. But over time, the supernatural slowly appeared in the lives of ordinary people. The first urban legend was the morgue fire. Legend had it that in a hospital in Gui City, there was a full-time security guard in the morgue who had a very ugly face and a lame leg. He was taciturn and gloomy, and was excluded by the other employees of the hospital. Because of his physical disability and appearance, everyone looked down on the security guard and avoided him like the plague. However, the security guard secretly fell in love with a female nurse in the hospital. One day, the security guard brought her a bouquet of flowers to confess his love, but the nurse rejected him with contempt. After that, a fire broke out in the hospital morgue and the security guard, who was trapped, suffocated alive. The fire spread from the morgue and burned down the entire hospital. Everyone said that it happened because the hatred born from the security guard’s failed love possessed him to set the fire, but his sin trapped him inside the morgue and he died in the process. The police had no intention of conducting an in-depth investigation and thus the case was closed. But afterwards, the surviving employees of the hospital discovered something horrifying. Frequently, a man’s shadow would appear in their homes, erratic in shape and exuding the stench of burnt, rotting flesh. In the dead of night, they often heard the sound of uneven footsteps with a dragging leg outside their doors. They were terrified, believing that the arsonist security guard was coming to take his revenge. They could not sleep well for days on end and their spirits were on the verge of collapse. Even if everyone persuaded them that the security guard was dead and it was impossible for him to show up, they could not calm down. Their emotions became more and more out of control. As a result, two weeks after the hospital fire, all the surviving employees went insane to varying degrees and were sent to the sanatorium. Some directly disappeared without leaving any indication of whether they were alive or dead, their bodies never found. Even the police could not trace their whereabouts. As for the nurse who rejected the security guard? Naturally, there was no news. Since then, an eerie urban legend has been circulating around Gui City. If you are walking alone in the middle of the night, don’t stop when you see the abandoned hospital that suddenly emerges from around the corner. Otherwise, you will encounter the vivid shadows of people that were once alive, bewitching you into entering this hospital with no exit. If you see this hospital, don’t look back while you’re running away, even if you hear the sound of someone following you step by step… Link: https://dogpotatotsl.wordpress.com/2021/01/27/filiul-ch1-1/ Spoiler: Arc 1:Strange Sounds in the Morgue MC, Yao Ye is a college graduate who just started working at his uncle's hospital who is the Dean. When carrying over hot water to drink he crashes into the ML, An Ling and accidentally burns him. He treats the ML but due to this it's midnight when he takes leave from the hospital. When he reaches his apartment building, a female ghost gets attached to him and even occupies the residence of his next door neighbor to possess MC's body. Later on the ghost chases after the MC to his work place, where, along the way, he comes to know about the identity of the malicious spirit attached to him. He also learns of a rumour regarding ML's enchantment which provides protection against the evil spirits. He learns of the fact that ML's enchantment is a gift from his late mother and despite his low educational qualifications, he was able to keep the job of the night guard due to the fact that he was able to stay in the morgue w/o getting harmed by it's malicious residents, unlike his previous seniors who were killed on duty. MC learns of ML's secret love and uses this to lure him to hand over his enchantment. Later ML gets burnt alive in the morgue by another resident doctor: Spoiler: ML's killer The ML is timid in nature due to his low self-esteem with regards to his face and disability, thus unable to resist the bullying by the hospital staff despite his bulky stature. ML's killer(aka the glasses guy) bullies the ML to quench his inferiority complex and the day the ML gists the enchantment to the MC, he villifies MC's character in front of ML at the morgue(he was smoking there) thus angering the ML. Due to the presence of the female spirit brought in by the MC, his negative feelings magnify, thus locking the ML in the morgue and setting it on fire, making the ML "burn alive". The ML returns as a Ghost King due to his lingering love and obsession for the MC. MC returns home earlier, thus missing out on the fire incident. He visits his neighbour (the guy whose apartment the female ghost possessed) only to find his dead body beheaded and mutilated severely. This causes him to develop a fever for three days and amidst his confusion, the dead ML takes care of him. He returns back to the hospital to work only to notice the strange gait of his female colleagues (the nurses) and learns of ML's death from them. He feels remorse but contentment after learning of this fact and returns to his work desk, with ML following him. ML traps MC in his ghost domain but MC escapes due to outsider intrusion(MC isn't aware of ML being near him as a Ghost king, nor the fire incident that burnt down the entire hospital. He still believes that it's a few days after the incident and only the morgue in the basement has been burnt down due to the fire. He isn't also aware that he is within ML's ghost domain since ML manipulates the ghosts to act normally so as to not scare the MC). He stumbles across a few punks(the self-claimed paranormal investigators team) live-streaming at one one of the hospital's burnt down patient rooms and is surprised by their appearance. Due to MC leaving ML's domain because of 'outsiders' he begins some kind of Ghost Hunt Festival, allowing those ghost inhabitants to kill off the 'outsiders'' and on the other side, MC learns of the 'discrepancies' b/w the stories of both the sides (MC isn't aware that the hospital has already become a ghost hospital two years in the future). The punks and MC get pulled into the domain and are hunted down by the ghosts. The punks plan to use the MC initially (as MC introduced himself as a doctor working at that hospital) and then abandon him later(since they aren't aware of MC'S true identity-whether he is a human or not). They also learn of the fact that they must find the ghost's lingering obsession within the domain to be able to leave the hospital through one of their followers(this is before they get pulled into the domain since there is no signal in the domain). They ask MC regarding 'his'(the dead ML's) lingering obsession and MC thinks that it's You Yi(since there was an instance where YY 'smiled' at our ML) causing him to become jealous. He leads them on to floor 8, since YY is a nurse usually stationed there. They follow him up but whilst their chase abandon MC which gets him caught in the female ghost grasp. ML kills it and MC has a momentary breakdown. ML takes up the MC and kisses him, thus making MC fall for him(not really, but MC seems to be in a hypnotic state of sorts...this will be clarified later on). 3 of the 'punk' group hide in one of the wards, only to later on realise MC'S true identity after seeing him together with ML. They get killed by the other ghosts of the hospital later. ML takes up MC to the remaining members of the group. After seeing the ML's(the ghosts') killing session, MC plans to lead the other two to the morgue(to let them burn incense for the ML and also as a distraction) and later on escape through through the front gate at the first floor of the hospital. He believes that he shall be able to break through the ghost domain at 6 in the morning since the Yang energy is highest at that point. He executes the plan but ML is aware of the fact that MC wishes to escape his ghost domain. He kills the other two guys(as they try to harm MC) and after talking it out with ML, MC escapes the hospital, only to later on realise that there are no 'inhabitants' outside the hospital nor near his home. He realises that he hasn't escaped the ghost domain at all and ML only let him leave the hospital since he wished to see the 'dawn'. So, he comes in terms with the fact that he shall be with the ML forever and accepts him.
Hi, finally found the spoiler thread. You see, since I was unable to find any threads linked to this novel, I created the spoiler thread below: https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/falling-in-love-inside-an-urban-legend.128692/#post-6477014 I'll link each other's threads for ease in configuration. Please do post it in the "Spoiler Curator" post. By the way, I have completed till the second arc and this has gotten me completely hooked up. The MC seems to be a morally grey character/a white lotus' bitch, unlike the usual self-righteous, one-mind tracked MCs, which I think is pretty interesting and suites the yandere ML.(I'm not really a fan of yanderism , because it gives a sense of being forced, but in this case,I guess I'm completely shipping these two characters). Though the reviews have spoiled quite a bit(like the MC and ML's true identities) but still hoping that the translation group can catch up to a decent number of chapters for me to re-read it again.
Too tired to continue editing (maybe next time), only left 2 more arcs for the main story. (7th Arc: the main body of MC awake!! Now, MC going to save ML.) The honeymoon has 2 arcs. ML is messed up crazy, seriously one of the best lunatics. 1) Likes to mess up MC’s feelings. 2) ML1 and ML2 are the same people, yet likes to kill each other until MC finally accept ML. Totally thinks that they are the real ML, and the other one is an imitation and tricks MC to be with him. The arc follows with the story that is stated in the beginning. When the players enter the game, ML always want to kill them as he thinks that they are going to hinder and destroy his and MC’s relationship. So, when he killed them in the game, they think that they are dead but in reality, they are alive, just went crazy. MC’s personality never changes. (when he finds out the truth) 1) He always tries to think of ways to escape. 2) If cannot escape, try to kill him. 3) When he realised that ML is better than the players, he regrets it. 4) Went crazy and decided to rationalise and be with ML. ML always fall in love with MC first and tries to use all sorts of ways to be with MC. (This always occur due to ML being a monster/ghost) P.S: If u don't have an acc in jjwxc, try this for the honeymoon arc as other websites don't have this part. https://www.x52dus.com/qita/265096/
