In a world where the supernatural intertwines with everyday school life, Shi Mu—a seemingly frail and effeminate teenager—harbors extraordinary powers that blur the line between reality and the spirit realm. Haunted dormitories, restless ghosts, and mysterious curses shadow the halls of Yingnan High School, but Shi Mu’s courage and wit bring hope to the terrified students. As she navigates the harsh social hierarchies, unexpected friendships, and her own strange transformations, Shi Mu must confront dark forces that threaten her very identity.

I’m a Girl, He’s a Psycho, and This is Fine

It was late at night. Everyone in the Shi household was asleep—except Shi Mu.

Her attic room glowed dimly under the soft lamp. She sat on her bed, wide awake.

Now that she had a second chance at life, she had to face its complications. This body was cursed. When she turned eighteen, the charm insect inside her would fully awaken. Her body's desires would intensify, and she'd begin uncontrollably drawing men in—until she consumed their energy entirely.

In the original story, the female villain had even killed her own brother to survive.

Shi Mu rubbed her forehead. "System, what do I do if I… want a man?"

[Then have one,] the system replied blandly.

"But I want to maintain my moral integrity!"

[Why bother with morals if you've already got a man?]

But no, she couldn't fall for some guy just because of his chest muscles.

The charm insect inside her craved masculine yang energy. It fed on it. But if her own body could generate enough yang energy, perhaps it would stop tormenting her.

"What would happen if I became… a man?"

[...Host, are you planning gender reassignment?] the system asked nervously.

But of course, it wouldn't be easy. And she wasn't just thinking about surgery.

"If I can become a boy, I can be brothers with Fu Yunshen... problem solved."

[Host… what exactly are you planning?]

"I'm going to infiltrate Yingnan High School as a boy. Watch me."
