If you are sick, you should give up treatment

Synopsis

Xiao Zimo exists under the conviction that he suffers from a terminal condition, leading him to abandon medical intervention in favor of a secluded existence shared with mushrooms and pythons. This tranquil retreat is disrupted when he encounters a skeleton king. Rather than recognizing the supernatural nature of the entity, the protagonist interprets his ability to converse with the undead as a sign that his health is deteriorating further. Set against the backdrop of the entertainment industry, the story balances a whimsical atmosphere with a lighthearted exploration of perceived illness and actual magic. The prose maintains a breezy, low-stakes energy that escalates through comedic misunderstandings rather than intense drama. Those who appreciate eccentric character dynamics and a gentle, sweet progression will find the experience rewarding, while individuals seeking high-tension conflict or a rigorous plot may find the leisurely drift of the plot frustrating. It offers a soft, imaginative escape where the absurdity of the situation drives the emotional core.
