My Guardian Returned to Shield Me

Centered on the harrowing escape of Nora, an ordinary wife living in Portland, the story unfolds after Nora comes down with a high fever and spots the spirit of her deceased golden retriever Dodo. The puppy reveals that her gentle husband Caleb is a sadistic monster who tortures and kills animals and controls an evil spirit, and that he plans to murder her that very night. Forced to flee her home overnight, Nora fights against a broken-necked ghost bound to a cursed saint’s medal with the spiritual help of Dodo and Midnight, a nine-lived black cat. She braves a risky return to their apartment to gather evidence via livestream and cracks open a safe stuffed with proof of his crimes. Blending supernatural suspense with real-world crime, the series exposes Caleb’s atrocities committed under the guise of an animal rescue social media account—including the murder of a disoriented elderly man. In the end, Caleb is convicted and imprisoned, the spirits of all victimized animals find peace, and Dodo is reincarnated as an orange kitten to return to Nora’s side.
