Synopsis
Wen Yan and Seung Yi embark on a final trip to sever their ties before a scheduled wedding. Their plans are derailed by a devastating avalanche that leaves them trapped and fighting for survival in the freezing cold. Upon waking from a coma, Wen Yan discovers that Seung Yi has vanished, leaving behind only a jacket and a haunting circle of green will-o'-the-wisps. This story reads like a supernatural tragedy, drawing on tropes seen in short-form paranormal romances or gothic ghost stories. It is intended for readers who enjoy melancholic, bite-sized narratives, while those desiring a long-term romantic progression should skip it. The pacing is exceptionally fast due to its extreme brevity, with the standout quality being the eerie, minimalist imagery used to establish the paranormal element.

Editorial Review
The narrative possesses a strong atmospheric hook, effectively using a survival crisis to pivot into a supernatural mystery. The imagery of the will-o'-the-wisps creates an immediate sense of dread and curiosity. However, the work suffers from a critical lack of substance. With a total of only three chapters, it is impossible to establish meaningful character arcs or resolve the central conflict in a satisfying manner. It feels less like a completed novel and more like a conceptual sketch or a short story fragment. Given the lack of popularity and the abrupt conclusion, the experience is more frustrating than fulfilling. While the premise is evocative, the execution is hampered by its brevity, leaving the reader with a setup that never evolves into a full story.
