The element of surprise and the unknown often do the trick. When you can't predict what's coming next, it amps up the fear factor.

For a little horror story to be truly terrifying, it needs a combination of a menacing villain, a sense of isolation for the protagonist, and a lurking sense of impending doom that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Will he defeat the mightiest crime lords? Only time will tell, but for now, fate has many whimsical plans for Tang Hao.

Ganito pa rin ang tingin niya sa akin?” Pagkagising niya, tiningnan niya ang kanyang sarili sa salamin: sinalubong siya ng sabog na wig, tatuan at mala-demonyong makeup. Kahit isang segunda lang, paniguradong masusunog ang mga mata ng isang normal na tao. Iba ang lalaking iniibig niya sa una buhay noon, bago siya mabuhay muli. Gusto niya lamang makawala kay Si Ye Han na kinagagalitan niya dahil ikinulong siya nito, Pero nang mabuhay siya ulit, nag-iba ang kanyang pananaw kay Si Ye Han, umaasa na siya na baka… magbabago na ito? Sa buhay niya noon, walang direksyon at napakagulo ng isip niya. Naghiwalay sila ng gwapo niyang asawa, sinaktan ng masama at mapanirang tao; higit sa lahat, ginamit siya ng matalik niyang kaibigan. At sa huli, siya ay naiwang nag-iisa. Pero ngayon, sa panibagong buhay niya, hinihintay at nagpa-plano na pabagsakin pa lamang siya ng mga masasamang taong iyon. Pasensya na pero, hindi na muli magpapaloko ang babaeng ito!
