Mansion Attack

Xia Leyang, the youngest son of the richest family in Rui City, returned from studying abroad with great aspirations, only to be handed over to a certain charlatan by his family to settle a debt. Shang Tingzhi, a well-known Feng Shui master in Rui City, known as the “Golden Finger of Luxury Homes.” Residences designated by him are believed to bring prosperity to the family and business, and the wealthy in the city all respect him. However, the returned scholar Xia Leyang, educated overseas, does not believe in such superstitions. Shang Tingzhi (to the client): The colorful aura here is a symbol of good fortune. Xia Leyang (muttering): A colourful aura, probably just bullshit. Shang Tingzhi: … (pretends not to hear) If it weren’t for the fact that Shang Tingzhi’s fate was affected by the lonely sun curse, he wouldn’t have had to deal with the annoying and troublesome Xia Leyang all the time. This young man, who had tasted Western ink during the day, was full of Marx in his mouth, dismantling Shang Tingzhi’s arguments professionally. However, at night, he was afraid of ghosts and would cry, fearing that ghosts would come and crawl into his bed. A bad-tempered individual with great self-control, advocating science, timid and afraid of ghosts. 1v1, happy ending. Note: Slightly fantasy-themed, the house where the two live is occasionally haunted by an ill-behaved female ghost who may possess the shou.

## My Thoughts on Mansion Attack "Mansion Attack" promised a blend of modern-day business, supernatural elements, and a developing romance, and while it had some engaging aspects, it ultimately left me feeling a little conflicted. ### First Impressions The initial premise, involving wealthy businessmen, a cursed mansion, and a dash of feng shui, definitely piqued my interest. I was ready for a spooky and romantic ride. The early interactions between the MC and ML had a certain spark, a bickering dynamic that hinted at a deeper connection. ### What Works Well The story is relatively quick and easy to read. The mystery surrounding the haunted mansion and the female ghost was a decent hook, unfolding at a pace that kept me curious. I found myself particularly drawn to the character of the ghost sister. Her sassy personality and quest for revenge added a fun and lighthearted element to the story, she was a delight whenever she appeared. ### Areas of Concern My main issue lies in the relationship dynamic between the MC and ML. I felt the MC was often put in uncomfortable situations, and the power balance felt skewed. It felt like the MC was being forced into actions he didn't genuinely desire, and the ML's reactions sometimes felt inadequate. This created a sense of unease, and the lack of explicit consent in certain early scenes was a significant drawback for me. The romance felt rushed and didn't quite convince me. Also, I noticed that the editing goes awry towards the end, with character names being incorrectly translated. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning There are some dubcon elements, particularly involving the ghost possessing the MC's body to collect essence from the ML. This is a significant plot point early on and might be a trigger for some readers. ### Final Verdict "Mansion Attack" has some charming qualities, particularly the engaging side characters and the relatively quick-paced plot. However, the problematic power dynamics and lack of clear consent in the early romantic development ultimately detracted from my enjoyment. If you're looking for a light read with supernatural elements and are willing to overlook some potentially triggering content, this might be worth a try. For me, it was a mixed bag, leaving me with a final rating of 3/5.
