Another work by Violet Rain, author of "The Scent of Love".

It tells the story of Khen who goes to an old mansion in Chiang Mai to write copy, where he begins to see ghosts after an accident.

At the foot of the mountain, a two-storey mansion stands majestically in the middle of nature, exuding a mysterious and intriguing atmosphere, waiting for the arrival of a team from abroad, one of whom is a young and energetic copywriter Khen.

The creepy atmosphere of this eco-resort, and the horror of the mysterious woman in the room at the end of the corridor, are not a problem for those who don't have the slightest sense of touch, but Khen is an exception.

Even after he had an accident and temporarily lost consciousness, he saw things he shouldn't see, heard things he shouldn't have heard, and met Matthew Maas Coleridge, the son of the former landlord of the mansion, whose name means the same as the moon.

Adapted from the novel "The Hidden Moon" (เดือนพราง) by Violet Rain.
