Awakened by love, Bound by death

In a quiet, superstition-riddled town where shadows seem to linger a little too long, Lisa is known as the “weird girl” with a fascination for the macabre. No one knows what to make of her quirky humor and dark curiosity, which is why, when she stumbles upon a centuries-old crypt and finds a mysterious body, Lisa does the unthinkable. Driven by a cocktail of boredom and obsession, she devises a plan to bring the corpse—Liam—back to life. And it works. But “life” is a loose term for what Liam experiences. With eerie, corpse-like qualities and an unsettling lack of memory, he becomes Lisa’s accidental undead companion—and possibly, her first love. Yet, trying to keep him hidden and “alive” in high school is no easy task. From teaching Liam how to fake a laugh and blend in with teenagers, to defending him from suspicious classmates and a nosy principal, Lisa quickly realizes that this new “relationship” comes with some killer complications. Things heat up when Jake, the school’s golden boy, starts vying for Lisa’s attention, stirring up jealousy in Liam and leaving Lisa torn between what’s “normal” and her strange, undeniable bond with her undead crush. As Liam’s past starts to surface in disturbing flashes, Lisa realizes that the mystery of his death is darker than either of them could’ve imagined—and their lives (or half-life) may depend on uncovering it. As they face suspicions, rivalry, and dangerous memories that threaten to consume Liam, Lisa must confront a terrifying truth: bringing Liam back from the dead was only the beginning. With love that defies life and death, awakened by love, bound by death, is a twisted, heart-pounding, and irresistibly funny tale of romance, rebellion, and redemption. Can Lisa and Liam survive the secrets of his past? Or will they find themselves torn apart by forces far darker than the grave?

Master Lou, "????" The baby swindled Master Lou into going to the countryside to look for his mother. Song Wei recognized the man's face and immediately closed the door in his face.

She had finally retired to the countryside to live a carefree life in her retirement, but all of this was ruined by her son! Her son even unknowingly proclaimed that she was extremely capable, causing a group of socialites to come and provoke her.
